They recently changed their policy on that, up until a week or so ago they would say DECEASED on the site if a inmate died in custody.

I believe Domwoods is correct and Langella is probably dead. Last night the BOP site had him listed as
"In Transit". He was at the medical prison in Missouri. So he's either dead or he got a compassionate release so he could die at home.

Personally i think it's stupid the BOP now lists guys as RELEASED when they die while serving out their sentence. Wonder why they decided to change the policy on that? They always would say DECEASED up until they changed the website recently.

Yeah I agree with you on that I don't understand the point of listing a dead person as released as opposed to deceased it doesn't make any sense.

No neither do I , I've been looking for confirmation on the internet all day but nothing as yet

Convicted mob boss and former Staten Islander Gennaro (Gerry Lang) Langella, 74, dead in federal prison hospital

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Former Annadale resident Gennaro (Gerry Lang) Langella, 74, the convicted underboss in the Colombo crime family who was serving a 100-year prison sentence, died Sunday in the U.S. Medical Center for Prisons in Springfield, Missouri, a facility for federal inmates with chronic medical problems.

Langella was admitted to the medical center in December 2008, according to a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, who declined to provide information about his medical condition and cause of death.

Langella was tried with seven others in a highly publicized case, known as the "Mafia Commission Trial," that started in September 1986 in Federal District Court in downtown Manhattan's Foley Square, at the time when former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani served as U.S. attorney.

Lead defendants in the trial included Anthony (Fat Tony) Salerno, 75, head of the Genovese crime family; Anthony (Tony Ducks) Corallo, head of the Luchese family, and Carmine (Junior) Persico, the Colombo family boss.

Citing Racketeer-Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) conspiracy violations, prosecutors built a successful case that the defendants belonged to a "commission" that had handled Mafia business since the 1930s, encompassing everything from loan-sharking and extortion to murder.

The trial lasted 10 weeks, and all eight defendants were found guilty in November 1986.

The chief prosecutor, Michael Chertoff, said after the verdict that the eight were "directing the largest and most vicious criminal business in the history of the United States."

Then-U.S. Attorney Giuliani commented: "The verdict reached today has resulted in dismantling the ruling council of La Cosa Nostra."

At the sentencing hearing in January 1987, U.S. District Judge Richard Owen addressed each defendant, individually. He started with Salerno, but said that his words applied to the other seven men as well: "You, sir, in my opinion, essentially spent all your lifetime terrorizing this community to your financial gain."

Seven of the defendants, including Langella, received 100-year sentences in federal prison.

Langella had already been sentenced to 65 years in November 1986 in a separate racketeering case so the judge ruled that he could serve the sentences concurrently.

"I can't say it's the end of the commission," Giuliani said after the sentences were handed down. "But it makes it much more difficult to operate that kind of an operation."

Former New York Times investigative reporter and crime writer Selwyn Raab described Langella as "a ruthless arrogant loan shark and drug trafficker" in his critically acclaimed book, "Five Families: The Rise, Decline and Resurgence of America's Most Powerful Mafia Empires."

Langella's speech "was peppered with expletives," Raab wrote. "He was considered a vain clotheshorse and unlike more contemporary Hollywood gangster attire he favored double-breasted blazers, sporty open collar shirts and wrap around sunglasses. He was a regular patron of the Casa Sorta restaurant in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, where he would hold meetings with associates".

this funeral should be a whose who of the mafia big turnout of guys, must have tons of friends from his 30yrs in the fbi pen. or 1000 mob wives and daughters. snake will probably demand all Colombo family be there. he was only like 40 siting on the commission in 1980 till paul got killed. wonder if he really knew karate. I think for the mafia to get strong they should start going back to funerals screw the pics they all go to jail anyway. I read some guy in the Bronx, crea was there and tons of other made guys one guy got his bail revoked. they have to show unity I think. massino was the guy telling nno one 1 go to the funerals maybe that's the change.

Is there any truth to this? Its jus kinda hard to believe Barney was so scared of Ida. I kno he was a killer and all but still. Whered you hear this from? Thanks in advance

yea I saw that...does that mean Dom just made up Barney fearing Ida??

Nah, I think it was discussed in another thread that Ida was pissed at Barney for taking a plea while he ended up getting life and Dom just misunderstood the situation.

Oooh yea I remember that...thanx snakes

Langella seriously looks like a vagrant in that mugshot.

Does anyone have what the judge said to everyone individually after sentencing - like what he said to Salerno in a previous post?

Is his son still active in the family cause Wikipedia lists him as a soldier how old is he?

Dear god are we never supposed to mention Vincent Langella? cause every time I ask a question about him everybody seems to take a vow of silence a simple 'I don't know' will do
