26.craig marino
notes:there looks to be 5-7 capos currently operating for the colombo family.of those listed above 4 are currently under indictment.
currently the administration + capos situation does not look good. NO BOSS,UB and CONS indicted and possible that there is only 2-3 capos on the street.
there would have to be acting roles all over the place for all of the indicted admin members.
-if there was ever a time for a total regime change now is the time to end the reign of PERSICOS. most senior PERSICO loyalists are imprisoned or now dead. there can be no belief that CARMINE made his son the imprisoned for LIFE ALPHONSE official BOSS before his death. theodore persico jr. would be the highest ranking family connection left. however his constant habit of being indicted should be a red flag that he is not leadership material.
unknown crew
soldiers
27.thomas farese
-indicted apr.22 2021 in florida for a medical fraud bust between $60-90 million depending on reports.
-indictment shows a continued presence in the state of florida.
-farese is married to suzanne persico daughter of ALPHONSE('allie boy')PERSICO brother of CARMINE.
28.dennis delucia
-was alleged earlier in 2022 as being an informant. conflicting reports as to whether that was true and to his actual rank with the possibility he is a capo.
-i would think delucia is shelved currently.

final notes:
-as with my usual posts of this kind i do not claim that this list/chart is definitive.
-there is obviously more made members on the street and in jail than the 46 listed above.there have been claims of ceremonies held by ralph f deleo when he was STREET BOSS and of more current ceremonies held by deceased BOSS ANDREW RUSSO.
-with that being said out of the 46 listed only 25 are currently free on the street and un indicted or under no terms of house arrest.
-25 made guys in 2022,being very generous and adding another 25 on the street would bring a total family membership into the 60-70 total member range. that number for the colombos seems right to me.
-as always i welcome any and all criticism,comments,help etc. i hope to continue to this same type of a breakdown for all current families to try to obtain a more accurate number count of members overall of the american mafia.
