I just saw something on Facebook that Andrew Russo (Colombo boss) has passed away.

Would love more Information.

I believe he’s gone but would love more sources to confirm.

I’ve seen (unconfirmed source) that he had dementia in the last few months..

If that’s the case; He probably wasn’t running the family; He may have just had the title.

I think it's fake news, this happens at least once every few months on these forums, but who knows.

There’s actually valid sources that he’s dead…

I’ve seen posts on Facebook; Instagram….

There’s others saying he’s gone…

I’m not going to lose my credibility on these forums by saying it’s true though…. Because I don’t know.

NYDaily Times say that Russo is dead…

His attorney even confirmed the report so I believe it’s 100% true.

He's gone. From what I've heard is that he was respected across the board. He was apparently a bit of a jokester. Had a great sense of humor. Will Teddy be taking over?

If he died in prison, will the federal prosectors still insist he should not be released?

Gambino soldier Joseph "Joe Brewster" Delmonico has also passed away at the incredible age of 101. Wealthy guy who never spent a day in prison

Russo was a powerhouse back in his heyday…

Do anyone know how big his crew was back in the 1970’s?? Wasn’t he Micheal Franzese original captain??

Andrew was a sleeper until about 1977 when he was exposed by the FBI in a major expose released on Long Island rackets and racketeers. From that point forward he started to become better known. It was the beginning of all his legal headaches. Previous to that he had a handful of arrests, but had largely avoided any major jail terms. His biggest arrests dealt with a hijack case along with his cousin and some South Brooklyn friends, possession of a stolen credit card, and a Sullivan Law violation during the old Gallo-Profaci War. Yet, he served very little jail time up until then. From the late 1970s on though, unfortunately Russo made up for it. Because in subsequent decades he served a ton of time behind bars.

Wow, the government allowed him out on bail because of his bad health ?? I thought only gangbangers are allowed that courtesy

I don't think he spent that much time in prison. Anyone have an Andrew Russo prison time-line?
