The Altieri crew was one of the eight crews of the DiMeo crime family. Founded in about 1980 by James 'Little Jimmy' Altieri, the Altieri crew was known for running the family's prostitutional organisations. The crew eventually went defunct in 2007, when the Carlo Gervasi (the Capo at the time) joined the Witness Protection Program. The rest of the crew was hence transferred to the Soprano crew. Carlo Gervasi - Soldier (circa.1980-1999), Capo (1999-2007), became an FBI informant, joined the Witness Protection Program due to his son's (Jason Gervasi's) arrest.
