This Week In Gang Land

Another Carmine Persico, Namesake Nephew Of The Late Mafia Boss, Is Now 'In The Game'

Gang Land Exclusive!Carmine PersicoLongtime Colombo boss Carmine (Junior) Persico died in prison. His son, former acting-boss Alphonse, is serving a life sentence for murder. Persico's nephew, Theodore (Skinny Teddy) Persico, reputedly the current heir apparent to the throne, is behind bars and not expected to be released anytime soon. But the Persico clan is large, and sources say that a nephew with the same name as his legendary uncle, has arrived on the scene.

The sources say this Carmine Persico, 52, a half-brother of imprisoned capo Skinny Teddy Persico, is not viewed "at this time" as an acting member of the Administration that is running the beleaguered crime family as its leaders and Skinny Teddy contest pending racketeering charges. But they say nephew Carmine Persico is a captain who "is in the game now."

These sources say that authorities also have information that the crime family still considers Junior Persico's businessman son Michael, who has completed three years of post-prison supervised release for his loansharking conviction and lives in Saugerties NY, as "a valuable resource" and contacts him "from time to time" about matters that "concern them."

The Waterfront Commission objected, and disqualified him for having misrepresented his ties to the Gambino family.
