The Lucchese crime family is nearly matched with the Genovese crime family, in terms of cleverness, efficiency, secrecy, and craftiness. The family originated in the early 1920s with Gaetano Reina serving as boss up until his murder in 1930. It was taken over by Gaetano Gagliano during the Castellammarese War, and led by him until his death in 1951. The family under Gagliano was peaceful and low key, concentrating its criminal actives in the Bronx, Manhattan, and New Jersey. The next boss was Gaetano Lucchese, who turned the family around to became one of the most powerful families to sit on the Commission. Lucchese teamed up with Gambino crime family boss Carlo Gambino to control organized crime in New York City. When Lucchese died of natural causes in 1967, Carmine Tramunti controlled th

  • The Lucchese crime family is nearly matched with the Genovese crime family, in terms of cleverness, efficiency, secrecy, and craftiness. The family originated in the early 1920s with Gaetano Reina serving as boss up until his murder in 1930. It was taken over by Gaetano Gagliano during the Castellammarese War, and led by him until his death in 1951. The family under Gagliano was peaceful and low key, concentrating its criminal actives in the Bronx, Manhattan, and New Jersey. The next boss was Gaetano Lucchese, who turned the family around to became one of the most powerful families to sit on the Commission. Lucchese teamed up with Gambino crime family boss Carlo Gambino to control organized crime in New York City. When Lucchese died of natural causes in 1967, Carmine Tramunti controlled the family for a brief time; he was arrested in 1973. Anthony Corallo then gained control of the family. Corallo was very secretive and soon became one of the most powerful members of the Commission. He was arrested and tried in the famous Commission case of 1986. For most of its history, the Lucchese family was reckoned as one of the most peaceful crime families in the nation. However, that changed when Anthony Corallo decided to put Vittorio Amuso in charge of the family. Amuso later promoted one of his longtime partners, Anthony Casso, to underboss. They instituted one of the bloodiest reigns in Mafia history, ordering virtually anyone who crossed them to be murdered. Amuso was arrested in 1991 and sentenced to life in prison. Several Lucchese wiseguys, fearing for their lives, turned informant. The highest-profile of these was acting boss Alphonse D' Arco, who became the first boss of a New York crime family to testify against the mob. This led to the arrest of the entire Lucchese family hierarchy, with Casso also becoming a of natural causes in 1967, Carmine Tramunti controlled the family for a brief n informant. Testimony from these informants nearly destroyed the family, though Amuso continues to rule from prison. the family is now run by Steven Crea.
