Was the Genovese Family active in the Garment District, and if, which Capo was responsible for overseeing the family's rackets and until when?
Thanks
Yes, the Genovese family was active in the Garment Center. I've never read of a single West Side captain having the responsibility over that industry but Matty Ianniello had interests there. The Genovese also had 1/3 control of the Greater Blouse, Shirt, and Undergarment Association along with the Gambinos and Colombos also having 1/3 each.
The Garment Center is an example of where, while there may have been a dominant family in the industry, others were also involved. The same could be said about the Javits Center, JFK Airport, etc.
