I read a blog with Penissi where he was told the Lucchese’s do not recognize Merlino as boss of Philly.
.
That's news to me. I'm guessing it goes back to when Amuso and Scarfo were jailed together and Scarfo was trying to take over the Family through his son.
It's interesting that it's still going on.
The Lucchese Family has a big NJ faction which is pretty close to the Philly Family. I remember seeing a recent picture of one of the Perna kids with some Philly made guys. So it must be weird for the Lucchese guys to interact with Philly guys but not recognize their boss.
