In a podcast, former Lucchese made guy John Pennisi talks about a beef that took place in the late 2000's between the Luccheses and the Bonnanos.
He said that it was all because of an issue between Matty Madonna and Michael Mancuso.
It started when a Bonanno delegation went to the administration of the Lucchese in order to inform them that Mancuso was now their Boss. Matty Madonna made a comment saying the Lucchese don't recognize Bosses in jail (ironically, the Lucchese Boss has been in jail for 30 years).
This made the Bonanno very angry and the family sent a gang of men, including a few made guys and capos, to the Lucchese HQ in the Bronx in order to confront the administration of the Luccheses. It got a little bit physical but nothing too violent.
These kind of confrontations between two families are very rare if not unique. I 'm suprised it has not been more documented.
Pennisi also said that Madonna wanted to use an audio from Mancuso regarding the Meldish situation in order to have him demoted by the commission.
Did you guys knew about that beef and do you know why there's so much bad blood between Madonna and Mancuso ?
Amuso was free when was recognized as Lucchese boss and anyway I dont understand what change for Luccheses if a boss of another family is in prison or on the streets?
