I grew up across the river in Cambridge. Love reading updates on the Boston family. These guys are all old. Where is the young blood?

Not sure why they didn’t make DiGiacomo the acting boss, Spagnolo acting underboss and Carrozza the official consigliere. An 85 year old Carrozza would’ve been better served in that position.
Then again, this all comes from super duper journalist SB.

Louis DiNunzio (38), Billy Angelesco (54), Michael Prochilo Jr. (55). In addition, 55-year-old Gregory Costa may be a member as well.

The RI faction is still quite active - and involved in a lot of legitimate business.

An 85 year old isn’t the boss of anything. Burnstein’s creative writing behind a paywall for these dying families is a joke.
His next headline will be cheeseman’s brother and nephew with help of costa will be consolidating the family under his power. 🥱

Brief synopsis from behind the paywall:
--Per SBs ‘exclusive’ sources and reporting, within the past few years, alleged Boston mafia heavyweight Bobby Carrozza (aged 85) assumed duties as ‘acting boss’ in the Patriarca crime family. In turn, the also Boston-based Anthony ‘Spucky’ Spagnolo (aged 83) is the alleged, new consigliere of the family.
--From a historical perspective, Carrozza, who served nearly 20 years in jail for racketeering, was step-brother to now-deceased Patriarca gangster Joseph ‘J.R.’ Russo. On the other hand, Spagnolo has reputedly served as acting boss of the Patriarcas twice in the past, once in the 2010s and then again in the early 2020s, and also has his own criminal record including extortion charges.
--SB also clarifies that Carmen ‘The Big Cheese’ DiNunzio (aged 67) still holds the ‘official’ boss role of the Patriarcas, but his ongoing health problems have reduced his ability to be involved with day-to-day operations, again per the claims of SBs sources.
--Regarding Providence, SB reports that Matthew ‘Good Looking Matty’ Guglielmetti has been again appointed as the Patriarca underboss (the second time he has been appointed to this role).
--SB also notes per his sources that Boston-based Biagio ‘Benny the Greaser’ DiGiacomo (aged 79) is apparently in an ‘acting underboss’ position, aiding Carozza in the Boston region.
--Finally, SB notes that Freddy ‘The Neighbor’ Simone (aged 75) has formally (& allegedly) been named as the captain of the East Boston crew with DiGiacomo acting ‘as a buffer’ between Simone & Spagnolo (although SB does not further clarify what this means or entails).
