1981 organizational chart illustrating the hierarchy and connections between suspected members and associates of the Gambino and Genovese crime families across New York and Fairfield County, Connecticut.
These Gang Land excerpts by Jerry Capeci detail how defense attorney Barry Levin secured a hung jury for Bonanno boss Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano by exposing a "big lie" in the testimony of government witness Dominick Cicale.
Cicale claimed he and Basciano staked out a murder victim’s home from a specific vantage point, but Levin used a building inspector to prove that, at the time of the crime, thick woods blocked that view. The trees were only cleared years later, suggesting Cicale’s testimony was coached by agents based on the property's current state rather than its layout during the actual murder.
The article also highlights discrepancies regarding Cicale’s wealth and property holdings. While Cicale claimed to own "multi-million dollar properties," records showed they were worth only $1.27 million and were actually owned by his wife, a former TV executive.
Despite these contradictions and claims that he "married well," Cicale maintained he earned his money through a massive Miami construction project.
I came across Dominick Cicale’s groundbreaking 14+ year old “inside story” on John Tuffo and the car dealership during a quick Google search.
Dom said that the feds would be on the phone with him, the moment he released it. Like it’s something exclusive or new.
I can’t wait for Cicale to finally reveal who killed Joe Barone’s father. If he really does know who did it, then he violated his agreement with the government by withholding information about a murder.
Former Colombo capo Michael Franzese testified against sports agents Norby Walters and Lloyd Bloom, revealing how he used his Mafia influence to bankroll their scheme of illegally signing college athletes and threatening them with violence.(Daily News/2002)

That would definitely make things interesting.
