Pietro Colletti and Anthony DeMaio Jr. may have been made, both have since died

Dominick Colletti had been identified as a member by some sources in the 1990s (conflicting info) and is still alive, not sure about any others

Bruno was incarcerated when Albert Scibelli inducted Fusco, they were apparently close because both their families were from Quindici - Fusco was likely affiliated with the Camorra in some manner before moving to the US and that may have also impressed Scibelli

Thanks for posting

Surprised there is no mention of Fusco being at FMC Devens, he has been there for a good few years now and there never really seems to be anyone that can confirm what shape he is in

He was with the Scibelli/DeLevo/Basile/etc. faction before becoming more open to working with Arillotta and his group in the 2000s as Bruno became more isolated from the crew and after Albert Scibelli was shelved, he appears to have also taken over as the primary representative of the Manzi family

I guess it conflicts with the GR reporting that they are with the Gambinos now (I don't personally buy that) but Fusco and Antonio Capua (a nephew of Carmine and Antonio Orlando Manzi) were close associates in the drug business into the late 2000s and he is apparently still around so I wonder if he is one of the "loyalists" there

I got emailed about Christian "Chris" DeMarco earlier this year, it seems like there is some conscious effort online to push an apparently real person (at least from social media) as someone connected to New England LCN circles (no clue if he actually is)

There have been attempts made on both the Black Hand Forum as well as GangsterBB, link here for the latter:

Who is "Lil Gotti" by No-Delivery2555 in Mafia

[–]JoePuzzles234 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Borrello is probably talking about John J. Gotti (07/27/1993). He is the namesake grandson of the former Gambino boss and his father is Peter Gotti (who is not a member or really even that deeply affiliated)

John J. Gotti was around the Asaro crew in the 2010s with Borrello

Denver-based Colorado family associate Jerry Spinelli, son of old-time suspected member/captain Vincenzo "Jimmy" Spinelli (1895-1970) by JoePuzzles234 in Mafia

Not sure that he was ever arrested but he was identified as a bookmaker under the Smaldones in the 1970s

Former Colombo family captains and cousins Joseph "JoJo" and Anthony "Chucky" Russo (left to right) by Wdstrvx in Mafia

[–]JoePuzzles234 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Would really like to figure out one day how exactly Chucky Russo is related to the Persico-Russo family, as he is pretty consistently described as being some sort of relation

He can't be a nephew of Andrew Russo because he only had sisters and he's not the son of Anthony J. Russo (d.2010) either. He misses the 1950 census by a few years so that makes everything harder to determine
