A lot of people make fun of those guys but they are a lot more powerful than most people think. They maintain a heavy presence in Elizabeth and Union, but they also have operations in Staten Island and Brooklyn even.

Ferrara passed away as well. Joe Merlo Jr sons are in the life, but Joe and Michael are only soldiers. John Riggi Jr is also only a soldier. Phil Abramo is no longer a capo and semi retired, mostly retired. Nigro is no longer Consigliere, unknown who is. Charles Majuri is said to be boss, Jossph Giacobbe Jr, is thought to he underboss. Some other guys names that are heard of are Francesco Paparatto, Girolamo Gaurraggi, Anthony Mannarino, and Dominic Colletti. At least four crews are still active.

Some of these guys are either dead, or fossils and long off the street scene;

Dead:
Danny Annunziata ?
Gaetano Alessi
Giacomo Colletti ?
John La Barbara ? (never heard of him)
Francesco Paparatto
Giuseppe Schiffiliti
Stefano Vitabile

Many of those fellas are either dead, or well into their late 80s or 90s, like Vastola, Annunziata, etc. Colletti,Scilffilti, etc., They are not active if they're even breathing.

The DeCav's are staffed with a small crew, most of whom are not that bright or street savvy (to put it mildly)

Only D'Amato, Consalvo, Majuri, Rago, and a few others have what it takes. The rest are all window dressing (IMO)

What people need to understand is that the DeCavs are under the Gambino flag. That is why they get respect. You're not gonna muscle in on these guys with no problems.

I recommend Giovanni's Ring which is a brand new book about life inside the present day DeCavs. Written by an undercover agent, the guy who brought down Stango. It's a fast and good read

If they're just a crew why do they have a boss, consiglieri, etc? It's funny because The Sopranos does go into this. When John Sack tells Phil Leotardo that Tony's a boss, and Phil objects.

It's always interesting to me as to why this family was formed in the first place, when all of the 5 families were always there, the Genovese always being the biggest and strongest in Jersey. Jersey's mob history is fascinating. I'm guessing a lot of guys in the old Newark and Elizabeth families did a lot of big favors for big people at key times in mob history.

They are NOT a crew. They are a full-fledged family. A small family. A splintered family. But a family nonetheless. Do the Gambino's 'shadow' them for lack of a better word. Maybe. But they are their own small borgata.

Are they possibly 'influenced' by the larger NY families, probably. But they are still a family

They have a couple crews in New York and they are 100% they’re own free standing family and they are not splintered, they are United....
Also the book shows clearly these guys people at the lower levels are heavy into drugs...Crack,Coke and weed...

Charlie Majuri is allegedly a top leader there. Not everyone lines up in back of Majuri. They are ONE family, but as is typical in borgatas there are always "factions" ..... so they are splintered. Not at war. Not are odds. But spintered for several reasons; The battering that they've taken over the last 2 decades from the feds have splintered their operations; and the factionalism of different guys backing various men to steer the helm

Other than the 2015 bust which really only tripped up Capo Charlie Stango and his crew they have pretty much been untouched since there indictments of 99 and 2000

I have read there was originally a Newark family, and that it split up and some of the members were divided up among the NYC families, with the Elizabeth crew becoming their own family. I can't remember off the top of my head where I read that, though. I know Valachi mentions Newark as a sixth family in the Valachi Papers. He used to sell stolen ration stamps during WW2 to one of their members.

I read that too, Fleming Ave. Interesting history. All about money I suppose, one way or another.

I don't want to beat on The Sopranos thing because it's obviously a fictional tv show, but there was a scene where Tony and Silvio are arguing about NY and Sil tells Tony he has a problem with authority. This is an interesting remark, considering Tony is a boss, and nobody should have authority over him. The Commission approves bosses and newly made members but doesn't tell bosses how to run their family. On paper, at least. So it would seem Sil is telling Tony, "look, we work for NY, that's that."

Also on The Sopranos, Junior makes an interesting remark about Profaci splitting his enemies. Profaci played a role in splitting up the Newark family. Anyhow, again, a fictional tv show but the writers at least did a little homework on Jersey's relationship with New York, even if they made Tony way too powerful of a Jersey boss. I'm guessing most of his power and swagger was based on the Genovese Jersey faction. Sopranos ran Port Newark on the show, after all.

Even though the Sopranos is a fictional show, it's (sometimes loosely) based on real life events, so you're not really off base, Oak. As for their ties to the Gambinos, I don't know if the Commission is still a functioning body. But I think the whole Gambinos/Decavalcantes connection may have been about the Gambinos representing them on the Commission. Anyone who has more information please feel free to correct me, as it's just from what I read. If they were a Gambino crew they wouldn't have their own administration. I kind of understand the Philly family/Genovese Family to have a similar relationship.

The DeCavalcante Family I believe (notice I said I believe so please don't chop my head off) still has ties to the Mafia in Ribera, Sicily. If this is the case, they won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

They certainly do have ties to Ribera, Sicily! Their club in Elizabeth NJ is called the Ribera Club.

Newark was split. It was between Gaspare D'Amico and Giuseppe Profaci. Joe Valachi, Joe Bonanno, and a few others have told the story. Newark family was disbanded, with Stefano Badami becoming boss of the Elizabeth family, and Newark faction, there is evidence from 1951 to 1955 when Badami was killed that the two factions were fighting. Joe Bonanno and Vincent Mangano backed up Joe Profaci, while Willie Moretti and Thomas Lucchese suggested that the family should be split up and divided among the other families. Genovese, Lucchese, and Profaci, grabbed some great earners. Elizabeth ranks doubled around 30 members at this time. Tony Caponigro said his skipper was a former member of Newark family, and was given a choice to join the Genovese but told Carmine Battaglia he could join up with them while he decided to join Philadelphia as he had a solid relationship with Joe Ida and Marco Reginelli. Bonanno and the Gambinos also got members from Newark. Peter G from Trenton was the one that Profaci, Mangano, Dovi, and Moretti were fighting to take into their families, who eventually went into the Mangano now the Gambino family.

As for the reason for the feud, different accounts, 1) Gaspare D'Amico was only making Sicilians instead of also inducting Calabrians. 2) D'Amico was unjustified in the killings of the Troia family members. 3) D'Amico was blocking Profaci's (Salvatore Profaci) truck routes in the Oliver oil business through his territory. 4) D'Amico owed Joe Profaci a large sum of money. 5) D'Amico and Joe Profaci supported different families in Villabate over a power struggle. I honestly believe there is truth to number 1 and 3.

The Ribera Club is still around. They can still recruit and get members from Sicily but like all the other families now, the recruiting pool has shrunk drastically.

The Gambinos represent them still, but the Decavalcante family does business with the Gambino, and Genovese crime families, and does have strong ties to Ribera and Agrigento province.

Reality is, the status is minute. No power, no recruits and very little influence. Elizabeth May still be home to the Ribera club but that’s about all. The city is not under the control of the family influence and the old neighborhood is Hispanic. Sorry but it’s the truth. Oh and Newark? Zero influence, zero. Almost every single Italian establishment is gone. A couple of import stores, deli’s and cafe’s everything else gone. There’s a few more old spots but zero decalvacante influence.

I partly agree with you, their influence has been greatly reduced but zero influence? That's a little too much.

All due respect but they are just a crew now. Albeit a large crew. They should just join the Gambino Family at this point. What have they got? 20 made guys on the street? They could be the Gambino's 2nd and 3rd Jersey crew. Make their Boss a Capo in charge of 10 guys and make their Underboss a Capo in Charge of 10 guys.

They may be a small family but I wouldn't fuck with them.

I respectfully disagree. They really are just a glorified crew these days consisting of mostly senior citizens. The recruiting pool is dried up. They're on their last leg. Only way they don't go extinct is to join up with the Gambino's. They've been aligned with them since the 80s. They can put younger members in their Jersey crew to replace dying members. Most mob guys have gravitates to Jersey, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut etc. Even out to Philly. They've got to evolve with the times or die on the vine. Theyre at the point the Pittsburgh Family was in the late 80s

As was said earlier read “Giovannis Ring”. About the UC that investigated them from 2012-2015
The recruiting pool isn’t what it once was but it’s 100% NOT dried up...Most of the associates talked about in the book were young and heavy into drugs,crack,weed,coke and ecstasy mainly and the family itself has deep dies with all the families and the Bloods street gangs in the area. The crew was close to Gooms and Crew Boss Nicky Molanari in the Gambinos and Nicky Whip in Philadelphia .... They have MAJOR INFLUENCE NOW in Elizabeth, control the feasts there and are all over the neighboorhood selling drugs,stolen property and loan sharking. At the Ribera Social Club Tin Ear Scalfani sat at the door.
Around 35-40 members in NY and NJ and 100% NOT on its last legs
Basically exactly what they were doing 30 years ago just instead of 60 made guys more like 35
Again everyone should read the book, very little was made public when the case came down in 2015 because everyone pled guilty....

A March 1986 raid on DiBernardo's office seized alleged "child pornography and financial records." As "a result of the Postal Inspectors seizures [a federal prosecutor] is attempting to indict DiBernardo on child pornography violations" according to an FBI memo dated May 20, 1986.
Thousands of pages of FBI Files that document his involvement in Child Porn

Not just drugs, but they have construction, real estate, some pull in the unions not like they had before. They have guys on the docks, sanitation, bookmaking, loansharking. Newark, everyone is trying to get a piece, but they still have a few of their fingers in different things. They will still be around 10 years from now, unless someone high up flips, then they will be around 10 years from now just severely crippled. Down in Florida they have a few things happening and Mannarino name keeps popping up.
