Tom DiBella became boss and Anthony Abbatemarco underboss in late 1972. Allie Persico was made consigliere in 1973. When DiBella went to jail from 74-75, Abbatemarco and Joseph Brancato were identified as acting for him at different times. Then Abbatemarco gets taken down and shelved in 77 for trying to take the family from DiBella and the Persicos. The underboss position is vacant until 1979, when Carmine gets out.
In 1980 Allie Persico goes on the lam and Jerry Langella is identified as acting consigliere. Carmine officially takes over as boss in late 1980 and Langella is identified as the official underboss in early 1981.
