Underboss: Venero "Benny Eggs" Mangano
Consigliere Dominick "Quiet Dom" Cirillo
New Jersey Faction Boss: Unknown

And for that matter, who runs Jersey for them and Springfield while we're at it.


The latest reports over the last few years have the family most likely being run by a ruling panel. In other words, there is not currently a traditional administration of boss, underboss, and consigliere. And this would basically be a continuation of the set up going back to the late 1990's when Dom Cirillo became acting boss when Gigante and Bellomo went to prison. Several guys have been the acting boss (which is the same thing as street boss) from time to time - Cirillo, Serpico, Muscarella, DeLuca, Nigro, Leo - but it seems they are more or less the point man running things day-to-day on the street while the panel makes overall policy decisions.

As for who is on the panel, all we get is little bits of info in the press from time to time. In 2009, one article said the panel consisted of recently released leaders including Benny Mangano, Barney Bellomo, Ernie Muscarella, and Larry Dentico. After Tino Fiumara died, one article said he had been on a three man panel running the family, though the other two weren't specified.
