Genovese crime family

File:Giuseppe Morello 1902.jpg]]

The Genovese crime family originated from the Morello gang of East Harlem, the first Mafia family in New York City.Jerry Capeci The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Mafia, 2nd Edition pg.59 In 1892, Giuseppe Morello arrived in New York from the village of Corleone, Sicily, Italy. Morello's half-brothers Nicholas, Vincenzo, Ciro, and the rest of his family joined him in New York the following year. The Morello brothers formed the 107th Street Mob and began dominating the Italian neighborhood of East Harlem, parts of Manhattan, and the Bronx.

One of Giuseppe Morello's strongest allies was Ignazio "the Wolf" Lupo, a mobster who controlled Manhattan's Little Italy. In 1903, Lupo married Morello's half-sister, uniting both organizations. The Morello-Lupo alliance continued to prosper in 1903, when the group began a major counterfeiting ring with powerful Sicilian mafioso Vito Cascioferro, printing $5 bills in Sicily and smuggling them into the US.

New York police detective Joseph Petrosino, later assassinated while in Sicily seeking evidence to permit the deportation of Morello and other mafiosi, began investigating the Morello family's counterfeiting operation, the barrel murders, and the black hand extortion letters. On November 15, 1909, Morello, Lupo, and others were arrested on counterfeiting charges. In February 1910, Morello and Lupo were sentenced to twenty-five and thirty years in prison, respectively.Capeci, Jerry. The complete idiot's guide to the Mafia [https://books.google.com/books?id=GhfExAeLSBAC&q=commission&pg=PA43 "The Mafia's Commission" (pp. 31–46)]

In 1910 the Lomonte Brothers, cousins of Morello, ran East Harlem until 1915. Fortunato Lomonte was shot and killed in 1914 on East 108th st. Tomasso Lomonte and cousin Rose Lomonte were both shot and killed in 1915 on East 116th st.

As the Morello family increased in power and influence, bloody territorial conflicts arose with other Italian gangs in New York. The Morellos had an alliance with Giosue Gallucci, a prominent East Harlem businessman and Camorrista with local political connections. On May 17, 1915, Gallucci was murdered in a power struggle between the Morellos and the Neapolitan Camorra organization, which consisted of two Brooklyn gangs run by Pellegrino Morano and Alessandro Vollero. The fight over Gallucci's rackets became known as the Mafia-Camorra War.

After months of fighting, Morano offered a truce. A meeting was arranged at a Navy Street cafe owned by Vollero. On September 7, 1916, Nicholas Morello and his bodyguard Charles Ubriaco were ambushed and killed upon arrival by five members of the Camorra gang.[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1916/09/08/105463376.pdf "2 Die In Pistol Fight in Brooklyn Street"], The New York Times, September 8, 1916. In 1917, Morano was charged with Morello's murder after Camorrista Ralph Daniello implicated him in the murder. By 1918, law enforcement had sent many Camorra members to prison, decimating the Camorra in New York and ending the war. Many of the remaining Camorra members joined the Morello family.

The Morellos now faced stronger rivals than the Camorra. With the passage of Prohibition in 1920 and the ban of alcohol sales, the family regrouped and built a lucrative bootlegging operation in Manhattan. In 1920, both Morello and Lupo were released from prison and Brooklyn Mafia boss Salvatore D'Aquila ordered their murders. This is when Giuseppe "Joe" Masseria and Rocco Valenti, a former Brooklyn Camorra, began to fight for control of the Morello family.David Critchley The Origin of Organized Crime in America: The New York City Mafia, 1891–1931 pg.155

On December 29, 1920, Masseria's men murdered Valenti's ally, Salvatore Mauro. Then, on May 8, 1922, the Valenti gang murdered Vincenzo Terranova. Masseria's gang retaliated killing Morello member Silva Tagliagamba. On August 11, 1922, Masseria's men murdered Valenti, ending the conflict, as Masseria took over the Morello family.[http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/1.html Epic saga of the Genovese Crime Family] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050310091428/http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/1.html |date=March 10, 2005 }}(Page 1)By Anthony Bruno - Crime Library on truTV.com

During the mid-1920s, Masseria continued to expand his bootlegging, extortion, loansharking, and illegal gambling rackets throughout New York. To operate and protect these rackets, he recruited many ambitious young mobsters, including future heavyweights Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello, Joseph "Joey A" Adonis, Vito Genovese, and Albert Anastasia. Luciano soon became a top aide in Masseria's organization.

By the late 1920s, Masseria's main rival was boss Salvatore Maranzano, who had come from Sicily to run the Castellammarese clan. Their rivalry eventually escalated into the bloody Castellammarese War. As the war turned against Masseria, Luciano, seeing an opportunity to switch allegiance, decided to eliminate him in 1931. In a secret deal with Maranzano, Luciano agreed to engineer Masseria's death in return for taking over his rackets and becoming Maranzano's second-in-command.{{cite book |title=The Five Families |date=May 13, 2014 |publisher=MacMillan |isbn=9781429907989 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5nAt6N8iQnYC |access-date =June 22, 2008}}

Adonis had joined the Masseria faction, and when Masseria heard about Luciano's betrayal, he approached Adonis about killing Luciano. However, Adonis instead warned Luciano about the murder plot.{{cite book|last=Reppetto|first=Thomas|title=American Mafia: a history of its rise to power|year=2004|publisher=Henry Holt and Company|location=New York|isbn=0-8050-7210-1|page=[https://archive.org/details/americanmafiahis00repp/page/137 137]|url=https://archive.org/details/americanmafiahis00repp|url-access=registration|quote=Joe Adonis.|edition=1st}}

On April 15, 1931, Masseria was killed at Nuova Villa Tammaro, a Coney Island restaurant, while playing cards with Luciano, who allegedly excused himself to the bathroom, when four gunmen (Anastasia, Genovese, Adonis, and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel) shot Masseria to death then escaping in a car driven by Ciro "The Artichoke King" Terranova.{{cite book |last1=Newton |first1=Michael |title=Boss of Murder, Inc.

With Maranzano's blessing, Luciano became his lieutenant and took over Masseria's gang, ending the Castellammarese War. Between August 1 and 3, 1931, Maranzano called a meeting where crime bosses met at Nuova Villa Tammaro in Coney Island for a bacchanalian banquet to celebrate the death of Masseria right on the spot where he was murdered and another one on Washington Avenue at a hall in the Bronx. Maranzano called another meeting of crime bosses in Wappingers Falls, New York, where he declared himself capo di tutti capi ("boss of all bosses"). Under Maranzano rule the Italian-American gangs in New York City were reorganized into Five Families headed by Luciano, Joe Profaci, Tommy Gagliano, Vincent Mangano, and himself. Maranzano also whittled down the rival families' rackets in favor of his own. Luciano appeared to accept these changes, but was merely biding his time before removing Maranzano.Sifakis Although Maranzano was slightly more forward-thinking than Masseria, Luciano had come to believe that Maranzano was even more greedy, power-hungry and hidebound than Masseria had been.

By September 1931, Maranzano realized Luciano was a threat, and hired Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll, an Irish gangster, to kill him. However, Tommy Lucchese alerted Luciano that he was marked for death. On September 10, Maranzano ordered Luciano, Genovese, and Costello to come to his office at the 230 Park Avenue in Manhattan. Convinced that Maranzano planned to murder them, Luciano decided to take pre-emptive action.{{cite book|last=Cohen|first=Rich|title=Tough Jews|year=1999|publisher=Vintage Books|location=New York|isbn=0-375-70547-3|pages=[https://archive.org/details/toughjews00cohe/page/65 65]–66|url=https://archive.org/details/toughjews00cohe|url-access=registration|quote=Genovese maranzano.|edition=1st Vintage Books}} He sent to Maranzano's office four Jewish gangsters, secured with the aid of Siegel and Meyer Lansky, whose faces were unknown to Maranzano's people.[http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,989779,00.html "Lucky Luciano: Criminal Mastermind"], Time, December 7, 1998.

After Maranzano's murder, Luciano called a meeting in Chicago with various bosses, where he proposed a Commission to serve as the governing body for organized crime.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/20/nyregion/the-commission-s-origins.html|title=The Commission's Origins|date=1986|work=The New York Times|access-date=February 22, 2017}} Designed to settle all disputes and decide which families controlled which territories, the Commission has been called Luciano's greatest innovation. Luciano's goals with the Commission were to quietly maintain his own power over all the families, and to prevent future gang wars; the bosses approved the idea of the Commission.

The Commission's first test came in 1935, when they ordered Dutch Schultz to drop his plans to murder Special Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey. Luciano argued that an assassination of Dewey would precipitate a massive law enforcement crackdown. An enraged Schultz vowed to kill Dewey anyway and walked out of the meeting.{{cite web|last=Gribben|first=Mark|title=Murder, Inc.: Dutch gets his|url=http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/gangsters_outlaws/gang/inc/6.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081009100849/http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/gangsters_outlaws/gang/inc/6.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 9, 2008|publisher=Crime Library|access-date=September 2, 2013}}

Anastasia, now the leader of Murder, Inc., approached Luciano with information that Schultz had asked him to stake out Dewey's apartment building on Fifth Avenue. Upon hearing the news, the Commission held a discreet meeting to discuss the matter. After six hours of deliberations, the Commission ordered Lepke Buchalter to eliminate Schultz.{{cite book|title=The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano: The Mafia Story in His Own Words|first=Martin & Richard Hammer|last=Gosch|publisher=Enigma Books|year= 2013|isbn=9781936274581|pages=223–224}}Newark, p. 81 On October 23, 1935, before he could kill Dewey, Schultz was shot in a tavern in Newark, New Jersey, and succumbed to his injuries the following day.{{cite news|title=Schultz is shot, one aide killed, and 3 wounded|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1935/10/24/101514743.pdf|access-date=September 2, 2013|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 24, 1935}}{{subscription required}}{{cite news|title=Schultz's Murder Laid to Lepke Aide|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1941/03/28/85275904.pdf|access-date=June 24, 2012|newspaper=The New York Times|date=March 28, 1941}}

On May 13, 1936, Luciano's pandering trial began.Stolberg, p. 133 Dewey prosecuted the case that Eunice Carter had built against Luciano, accusing him of being part of a massive prostitution ring known as "the Combination". During the trial, Dewey exposed Luciano for lying on the witness stand through direct quizzing and records of telephone calls; Luciano also had no explanation for why his federal income tax records claimed he made only $22,000 a year, while he was obviously a wealthy man.

Dewey's case against Luciano on the prostitution charges actually leveled in the indictment, on the other hand, rested on much shakier ground: first on the testimony of Joe Bendix, who was discredited by his own testimony as well as that of others, and then later on the testimony of three prostitutes, whom Dewey rewarded by either paying for a trip to Europe after the trial or arranging for lucrative film and magazine deals.{{cite journal |title=How prosecutors brought down Lucky Luciano |url=https://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/how_prosecutors_brought_down_lucky_luciano |journal=American Bar Association Journal}} All three witnesses subsequently recanted their testimony.

Luciano continued to run his crime family from prison, relaying his orders through Genovese, his acting boss. However, in 1937, Genovese fled to Naples to avoid an impending indictment for murder in New York.{{cite book|last=Sifakis|first=Carl|title=The Mafia encyclopedia|year=2005|publisher=Facts on File|location=New York|isbn=0-8160-5694-3|pages=277|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jgCpxTpPCPcC&q=genovese+reina&pg=PA277|edition=3.}} Luciano appointed Costello, his consigliere, as the new acting boss and overseer of Luciano's interests.

During World War II, federal agents came to Luciano for help in preventing enemy sabotage on the New York waterfront and other activities. Luciano agreed to help, in return for a pardon from the State of New York, made contingent on Luciano's deportation to Italy. In reality Luciano provided insignificant assistance to the Allied cause.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

After the end of the war, the arrangement with Luciano became public knowledge. To prevent further embarrassment, the government followed through on its plans to deport Luciano on condition that he never return to the U.S. In 1946, Luciano was taken from prison and deported to Italy, where he died in 1962.{{cite news|title=Pardoned Luciano on His Way to Italy|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1946/02/11/93047003.pdf|access-date=June 16, 2012|newspaper=The New York Times|date=February 11, 1946}}

In 1952, the federal government began proceedings to strip Costello of his U.S. citizenship and he was indicted for evasion of $73,417 in income taxes between 1946 and 1949. He was sentenced to five years in prison and fined $20,000. In 1954, Costello appealed the conviction and was released on $50,000 bail; from 1952 to 1961, he was in and out of half a dozen federal and local prisons and jails, his confinement interrupted by periods when he was out on bail pending determination of appeals.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1954/06/20/archives/costello-is-released-in-50000-bail.html|title=Costello Is Released in $50,000 Bail|date=June 20, 1954|work=The New York Times}}

Costello ruled for twenty peaceful years, but his quiet reign ended when Genovese was extradited from Italy to New York. During his absence, Costello demoted Genovese from underboss to caporegime, leaving Genovese determined to take control of the family. Soon after his arrival in the U.S., Genovese was acquitted of the 1936 murder charge that had driven him into exile.[http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/3.html Epic saga of the Genovese Crime Family] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217022331/http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/3.html |date=December 17, 2007 }}(Page 3) - By Anthony Bruno - Crime Library on truTV.com Free of legal entanglements, he started plotting against Costello with the assistance of Mangano family underboss Carlo Gambino.

Months later, Anastasia, the boss of the Mangano family and a powerful ally of Costello's, was murdered by Gambino's gunmen at the Park Central Hotel in Manhattan. With Anastasia's death, Carlo Gambino seized control of the Mangano family.

Having taken control of what was renamed the Genovese crime family in 1957, Genovese decided to organize a Mafia conference to legitimize his new position. Held at mobster Joseph "Joe the Barber" Barbara's estate in Apalachin, New York, the Apalachin meeting attracted over 100 mobsters from around the nation. However, local law enforcement stumbled upon the meeting and quickly surrounded the estate.

Genovese soldier Joe Valachi was convicted of narcotics violations in 1959, and sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Valachi's motivations for becoming a government informant had been the subject of some debate; Valachi claimed to be testifying as a public service and to expose a powerful criminal organization that he had blamed for ruining his life, but it is possible he was hoping for government protection as part of a plea bargain in which he was sentenced to life imprisonment instead of the death penalty for a 1962 murder.{{cite web|url=https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/organized-crime/history-of-la-cosa-nostra|title=History of La Cosa Nostra|publisher=fbi.gov}}

Although Valachi's disclosures never led directly to the prosecution of any Mafia leaders, he provided many details of history of the Mafia, operations, and rituals, aided in the solving of several unsolved murders, and named many Mafia members, as well as the names of the major crime families themselves. The trial exposed American organized crime to the world through Valachi's televised testimony.{{Cite book|title=Five Families |last=Raab|first=Selwyn|publisher=St. Martin's Press|year=2005|location=New York|pages=135–136}}

After Genovese was sent to prison in 1959, the family leadership secretly established a "Ruling Panel" to run the family in his absence. This first panel included acting boss Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli, underboss Gerardo "Jerry" Catena, and Catena's protégé Philip "Benny Squint" Lombardo. After Genovese died in 1969, Lombardo was named his successor.

However, the family appointed a series of "front bosses" to masquerade as the official family boss. The aim of these deceptions was to protect Lombardo by confusing law enforcement as to who the true leader of the family was.

In the late 1960s, Gambino lent $4 million to Eboli for a drug scheme in an attempt to gain control of the Genovese family. When Eboli failed to pay back his debt, Gambino, with Commission approval, had him murdered in 1972.{{cite book|last=Newton|first=Michael|title=The encyclopedia of unsolved crimes|year=2009|publisher=Facts on File|location=New York|isbn=978-1-4381-1914-4|pages=115|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gijG7fSwvjAC&q=%22Thomas+Eboli%22&pg=PA115|edition=2nd}}{{cite news|last=Pace|first=Eric|title=Funerals Aren't What They Used to Be|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1972/07/23/91337694.pdf|access-date=March 23, 2012|newspaper=The New York Times|date=July 23, 1972}}{{cite news|last=Perlmutter|first=Emanuel|title=A Key Gang Figure Slain in Brooklyn|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1972/07/17/83448308.pdf|access-date=March 23, 2012|newspaper=The New York Times|date=July 17, 1972}}

After Eboli's death, Genovese capo and Gambino ally Frank "Funzi" Tieri was appointed as the new front boss. In reality, the Genovese family created a new ruling panel to run the organization. This second panel consisted of Catena, Lombardo, and Michele "Big Mike" Miranda. In 1981, Tieri became the first Mafia boss to be convicted under the new RICO Act and died in prison later that year.[http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/7.html Epic saga of the Genovese Crime Family] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217022341/http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/7.html |date=December 17, 2007 }}(Page 7) - By Anthony Bruno - Crime Library on truTV.com

After Tieri's imprisonment, the family reshuffled its leadership. The capo of the Manhattan faction, Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno, became the new front boss. Lombardo, the de facto boss of the family, soon retired and Gigante, the triggerman on the failed Costello hit, took actual control of the family.

In 1985, US Attorney General for the Southern District of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, set his sights on taking down the Mafia Commission through wiretaps, cooperating witnesses, and surveillance cameras.{{cite news |last1=Winerip |first1=Michael |title=High-Profile Prosecutor |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/06/09/magazine/high-profile-prosecutor.html |work=The New York Times Magazine |date=June 9, 1985 |access-date=April 1, 2022}} In 1985, Salerno was convicted in the Mafia Commission Trial and sentenced to 100 years in federal prison.{{cite news|last=Lubasch|first=Arnold H.|title= Judge Sentences 8 Mafia Leaders to Prison Terms |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/01/14/nyregion/judge-sentences-8-mafia-leaders-to-prison-terms.html?src=pm|access-date=October 13, 2011|newspaper=The New York Times|date=January 14, 1987}} In 1986, shortly after Salerno's conviction, his longtime right-hand man, Vincent "The Fish" Cafaro, turned informant, and told the FBI that Salerno had been the front boss for Gigante.

The New York Times.

After the 1980 murder of Philadelphia boss Angelo "Gentle Don" Bruno, Gigante and Lombardo began manipulating the rival factions in the war-torn Philadelphia family. They finally gave their support to Philadelphia mobster Nicodemo "Little Nicky" Scarfo, who in return gave the Genovese mobsters permission to operate in Atlantic City in 1982.[http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/8.html Epic saga of the Genovese Crime Family] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217022346/http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/genovese1/8.html |date=December 17, 2007 }}(Page 8) - By Anthony Bruno - Crime Library on truTV.com

Gigante built a vast network of bookmaking and loansharking rings, and from extortion of garbage, shipping, trucking, and construction companies seeking labor peace or contracts from carpenters', Teamsters, and laborers' unions, including those at the Javits Center, as well as protection payoffs from merchants at the Fulton Fish Market. Gigante also had influence in the Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy, running illegal gambling operations, extorting payoffs from vendors, and pocketing thousands of dollars donated to a neighborhood church—until a crackdown in 1995 by New York City officials. During Gigante's tenure as boss of the Genovese family, after the imprisonment of John Gotti in 1992, Gigante came to be known as the figurehead capo di tutti capi, the "Boss of All Bosses", despite the position being abolished since 1931 with the murder of Salvatore Maranzano.{{cite news|last=Raab|first=Selwyn|title=With Gotti Away, the Genoveses Succeed the Leaderless Gambinos|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/03/nyregion/with-gotti-away-the-genoveses-succeed-the-leaderless-gambinos.html?scp=6&sq=Carmine%20Persico&st=cse|date= September 3, 1995|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=June 29, 2013}}

Gigante was reclusive, and almost impossible to capture on wiretaps, speaking softly, eschewing the phone, and even at times whistling into the receiver. He almost never left his home unoccupied because he knew FBI agents would sneak in and plant a bug. Genovese members were not allowed to mention Gigante's name in conversations or phone calls; when they had to mention him, members would point to their chins or make the letter "C" with their fingers.{{cite book |last=Raab |first=Selwyn |title=The Five Families: The Rise, Decline & Resurgence of America's Most Powerful Mafia Empire |location=New York |publisher=St. Martins Press |year=2005 |isbn=0312300948 |url=https://archive.org/details/unset0000unse_s8f3 }}

On May 30, 1990, Gigante was indicted along with other members of four of the Five Families for conspiring to rig bids and extort payoffs from contractors on multimillion-dollar contracts with the New York City Housing Authority to install windows.[https://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/31/nyregion/suspected-new-york-mob-leaders-are-indicted-in-contract-rigging.html?scp=18&sq=Aloi%20Colombo&st=cse "Suspected New York Mob Leaders Are Indicted in Contract Rigging"]. The New York Times. May 31, 1990. Gigante attended his arraignment in pajamas and a bathrobe, and due to his defense stating that he was mentally and physically impaired, legal battles ensued for seven years over his competence to stand trial. In June 1993, Gigante was indicted again, charged with sanctioning the murders of six mobsters and conspiring to kill three others, including Gotti.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/11/nyregion/mob-inquiry-focuses-on-reputed-boss-who-eludes-trial.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526103103/https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/11/nyregion/mob-inquiry-focuses-on-reputed-boss-who-eludes-trial.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 26, 2015|title=Mob Inquiry Focuses on Reputed Boss Who Eludes Trial |website=The New York Times|date=May 26, 2015}}

Gigante's lawyers presented testimony and reports from psychiatrists stating that, from 1969 to 1995, Gigante had been confined twenty-eight times in hospitals for treatment of hallucinations and that he suffered from "dementia rooted in organic brain damage".

In August 1996, Judge Eugene Nickerson of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ruled that Gigante was mentally competent to stand trial; he pleaded not guilty and had been free for years on $1 million bail. Gigante had a cardiac operation in December 1996. On June 25, 1997, Gigante's trial started, which he attended in a wheelchair.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/07/26/nyregion/jurors-find-gigante-guilty-of-racketeering-not-murder.html|title=Jurors Find Gigante Guilty Of Racketeering, Not Murder|first=Joseph P.|last=Fried|date=July 26, 1997|work=The New York Times}}

On December 18, 1997, Gigante was sentenced to twelve years in prison and fined $1.25 million by Judge Jack B.

In October 2017, thirteen Genovese and Gambino associates and soldiers were sentenced after being indicted following an NYPD operation in December 2016. Dubbed "Shark Bait", the investigation focused on a large-scale illegal gambling and loansharking ring.

Soldier Alex Conigliaro was sentenced to four months in jail and four months house arrest in late October 2017, with a fine of $5,000, after admitting that he supervised and financed a $14,000-per-week illegal bookmaking and sports betting operation between 2011 and 2014.{{cite web|title=Snake eyes: Reputed S.I. wiseguy sentenced for gambling operation|url=http://www.silive.com/news/2017/10/snake_eyes_reputed_si_wiseguy.html|website=Silive.com|date=October 30, 2017 |access-date=November 29, 2017}}{{cite web|title=Over the hill mobsters busted for off-shore gambling ring|url=https://nypost.com/2016/12/15/over-the-hill-mobsters-busted-for-off-shore-gambling-ring/|website=NY Post|date=December 15, 2016 |access-date=September 17, 2017}} Genovese associates Gennaro Geritano and Mario Leonardi were allegedly partners in selling untaxed cigarettes in New York, selling over 30,000 packs.{{cite web|title=Police arrest alleged Genovese mobsters for operating off-shore gambling ring|url=http://abc7ny.com/news/police-arrest-alleged-genovese-mobsters-for-operating-gambling-ring/1658867/|website=ABC News|access-date=September 17, 2017}}

According to the FBI, the Genovese family had not had an official boss since Gigante's death and the leadership was in a state of limbo for some time.[http://mafianewstoday.com/genovese-family-may-soon-have-new-boss "Family may soon have new Boss"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100510020816/http://mafianewstoday.com/genovese-family-may-soon-have-new-boss |date=May 10, 2010 }} By the start of the second decade on the 21st century the leadership appeared to still be strong however with Mafia News Today reporting on April 9, 2010 Law enforcement considers Leo to be the acting boss, Mangano the underboss, and Cirillo the consigliere. The family is known for placing top capos in leadership positions to help the administration run day-to-day activities. At present, capos Bellomo, Muscarella, Cirillo, and Dentico hold the greatest influence within the family and play major roles in its administration. The Manhattan and Bronx factions, the traditional powers in the family, still exercise that control today. By 2016 however the FBI considers Liborio Bellomo to most likely be the official boss of the Genovese family.

On January 10, 2018, five members and associates, including Gigante's son Vincent Esposito, were arrested and charged with racketeering, conspiracy, and several counts of related offenses by the NYPD and FBI.{{cite news|title='Chin' Gigante's son among five mobsters cuffed in union extortion racket|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/chin-gigante-son-cuffed-union-extortion-racket-article-1.3748947|access-date=January 14, 2018|agency=The New York Daily News|publisher=VICTORIA BEKIEMPIS & LARRY MCSHANE|date=January 10, 2018}} The charges include extortion, labor racketeering conspiracy, fraud and bribery.

Fyfe was forced to pay $10,000 per year to keep his $300,000-a-year union job, which he obtained through the influence of the Genovese family. The labor union infiltration was alleged to have taken place for at least sixteen years. Esposito allegedly extorted several other union officials and an insurance agent. At his home during a warranted search, authorities recovered an unregistered handgun, $3.8 million in cash, brass knuckledusters, and a handwritten list of American Mafia members.{{cite web|title=Genovese Mobsters Charged with Running Brooklyn UFCW Rackets|url=http://nlpc.org/2018/01/31/five-mob-associates-charged-conspiracy-indictments-include-brooklyn-ufcw-officials/|website=National Legal and Policy Center|publisher=Carl Horowitz|access-date=April 19, 2018|archive-date=May 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210513185208/https://nlpc.org/2018/01/31/five-mob-associates-charged-conspiracy-indictments-include-brooklyn-ufcw-officials/|url-status=dead}}

The position of "front boss" was created by boss Philip Lombardo in efforts to divert law enforcement attention from himself. The family maintained this "front boss" deception for the next 20 years. Even after government witness Vincent Cafaro exposed this scam in 1988, the Genovese family still found this way of dividing authority useful. In 1992, the family revived the front boss post under the title of "street boss". This person served as day-to-day head of the family's operations under Gigante's remote direction.
