In fact, there are only eight "made" members of La Cosa Nostra residing in Rhode Island, according to law enforcement sources.
The "made" guys on the street are Joseph Ruggiero, who's never been arrested, Raymond "Junior" Patriarca, the son of the late boss Raymond L.S. Patriarca, Rudolf "Rudy" Sciarra, in his 80s and in poor health, Pasquale Galea, Vito DeLuca , William "Blackjack" Delsanto, Joseph Achille and Robert "Bobby" Deluca.
Among the remaining mafia crew, only one or two are thought to be actively engaged in making money the old Mafia way; stealing it.
Those names were listed in an article from a year or two ago. They were missing a few if you include everyone regardless of where they currently reside, i.e in prison or whatever.
Rocco Folco, Matthew Guglielmetti, Edward Lato, Luigi Manocchio, Frank Marrapese, Alfred Scivola, and Anthony St. Laurent are in prison.
That leaves Joseph Achille, William Delsanto, Vito DeLuca, Pasquale Galea, Raymond Patriarca Jr., and Joseph Ruggiero. But not all of them are active.
