2008 Year in Review
Colombos Lead The Way
So how did the mob fare in 2008? As usual, it was not a very good year. And the biggest mob stories of 2008 revolved around the Colombo family – the tiniest of the notorious Five Families.
Gambino Family
Capo Little Nick Corozzo and soldier Charlie Canig Carneglia faced the most serious charges.
Genovese Family
Some Genovese wiseguys and associates began prison terms. Others did their time and went home. And others were nailed for charges that are pending.
Bonanno Family
Two acting bosses were sentenced for mob murders in the wake of a federal onslaught that led to the first New York Mafia boss to become a turncoat.
Luchese Family
There was little federal action against the Lucheses
but one high ranked
Brooklyn gangster was home
for Christmas.
