Extremely interesting to read the affidavit. Thanx for posting Ivy. I have always believed that the Lucchese members in NJ were all under one captain (Ralph V. Perna). But it seems here that Capra also had a smaller crew established in New Jersey. And it looks like the Taccettas enjoyed a somewhat quasi independence before Capra was brought in to settle beefs between them and the Pernas.
Or have I missunderstood the affidavit?
The Luccheses have one Jersey-based crew, which the Pernas, Taccettas, Scarfo Jr., and others in this bust (not including DiNapoli or Madonna) are a part of. Capra is based in the Bronx, but like other NY based crews, may have interests in New Jersey. I thought it was funny how DiNapoli described the Pernas and Taccettas as the "Hatfields and McCoys."
