There are infos if still exist an italian oc in NO?

no its done end of story. no functioning admin and 1 known made member left joseph gagliano frank gaglianos son.
there is no longer a mafia family or mafia related crime activity currently in new orleans.

Nofio is still alive for a fact, spends his time riding his horses in his old age. Marcello did it right, his family has a large lawfirm, and one of the grand daughters just finished law school at LSU.

Joe gags is still alive as well, got out of prison a few years ago with the sniper van ordeal I will attach the article.

Its not considered a "mafia family", but there are guys still running book, probably independently. There were some guys arrested after Katrina for construction fraud in the early 2000s as well, not sure if it was tied to OC.

Today, what's left of them are known as "The Muffuletta Mob." The control all the Muffuletta rackets in the City of New Orleans.

Central Street on Decature in the French Quarter is the only place to get a real Muffulatta.

I hear it's a big thing down there. It was started by the Gagliano family, am I correct?

The Tusas' own Central Street Grocery, I am not familiar if their grandfather got startup money from OC in the early 1900s that would of probably been black hand before Silver Dollar Sam. Pretty cool place, they keep all of the old imported Italian Olive oil containers that used to come in the 5 gallon cans that look like old gasoline cans stacked on the top of the shelves and most of their produce is still imported from Italy. Muffaletta will cost you though it was 18$ a sandwich last time I visited.

Thats interesting. There's a lot of history in New Orleans. I really enjoyed myself while researching Carlos Marcello and his men and their activities.

A Lot of history but they are way past defunct. Recently besides Gagliano who pretty much had a telescope up his ass from the FBI with his "snow cone sniper van", I'm pretty sure the last guy that had anything to do with Marcello when he was still the boss was Kent Brouillette aka "Frenchy". He ran prostitutes in the French Quarter (Not a made guy, just an associate). I think he was stabbed to death in 2014-15 by some drug addict he had living in his house. He has a book written about him called Mr. New Orleans, not sure how much of it was true but he was in fact the cousin of the then Governor Edwin Edwards who also spent time in prison for racketeering.

Aside from that anyone that says NOLA is still functioning is living on hopes and dreams or some weird fantasy.

I completely agree with you. NOLA is completely defunct for many years now. The same as most of the other former Families that occupied the USA. Unfortunately for those still involved in that life, it is a dying business model, clearly!

Even in the traditional stronghold of NYC/NJ, the mob is but a wisp of its former self. From the top on down, they've been gutted time and again over the last 2-3 decades. To the point where they can't even successfully maintain any semblance of hierarchy for any real length of time anymore, before the so-called "administration" get indicted, convicted, and jailed for life!

Just look at what's taken place in the last decade alone within the Lucchese, Colombo, Bonanno, and other crews. M. Madonna, S. Crea, J. DiNapoli, T. Persico, A. Russo, M. Mancuso, etc., etc., etc.. They're all either doing life with no chance of parole, or they're serving long bids (and 99% of them are considered elderly already).

And the fellas who have stepped into their shoes, for the most part, have proven themselves incompetent.

It's pretty much all over...they're just waiting for the fat lady to sing!

Very insightful thank you
