https://aboutthemafia.com/gambino-m...-a-place-within-the-family#disqus_threadIt will be interesting to see how the new Gambino leadership handles the former capo. He did the time and kept quiet proving he is a stand-up guy and will likely want to step back in especially after his supervised release comes to an end. But a dispute with former Gambino consigliere Joseph “JoJo†Corozzo reportedly led to the young mobster being shelved by boss Domenico Cefalu. According to the reports the two mobsters were involved in a disagreement over defense strategy after the bust in 2011 before Trucchio decided to cop a plea.
The defendants were divided into two separate trials but no one wanted to be first up to face the feds firing squad which was loaded with an array of new evidence. During a pre-trial session, Corozzo’s son and lawyer Joseph got into a heated argument with Trucchio over a move made by his lawyer that directly contradicted an appeal he had made. “Hey Al, so it’s every man for himself, now, said Corozzo. Why don’t you come here and say that to my face, replied Trucchio, as he kept moving toward the elevator. So, I’m not a man now, snapped the lawyer, with a look of disgust on his face.â€
It was taken as a sign of disrespect toward his mob superior and Alphonse was reportedly demoted and shelved. In 2015 reports surfaced stating that aging wiseguy Thomas “Monk†Sassano had been named the new captain of Alphonse’s Queens-based crew. But several years have now passed and a lot has changed within the Gambino family. Corozzo is no longer a part of the Gambino hierarchy and doesn’t seem to be as influential within the family as he once was. The recent loss of powerful Gambino family leader Frank Cali has seemingly impacted the Gambino’s financially at least so some extent.
So maybe everyone can let bygones be bygones and there can once again be a place at the table for an earner and proven leader like Alphonse Trucchio.
So Trucchio made his time and risk to have nothing,not even a place in his former crew?
