In times of crisis is strong who remains stable.Genovese have reached
The Genovese Family was arguably the most powerful crime family in New York. But when was the height of their wealth and power exactly? Was it all the way back in Luciano’s day or was it during or post Vito genovese? I understand that Catena was very wealthy and powerful. It also seems as though the head of the Greenwich Village crew was very important within the family.
In times of crisis is strong who remains stable.Genovese have reached their peak after Gotti and Gravano seriously damaged the Gambinos,that was their historical enemies.After 1990 the other four families was seriously damaged by bloody boss (Lucchese),internal war (Colombo) and a boss that flipped (Bonanno) while the Genovese had only 8 rats and remained strong and had a boss Bellomo that is free from 2008 and the family also had ties with the ndrangheta as the digregorio case made think so IMO it height of their wealth and power was from 1990 to today.
