New Orleans Mafia (Present)

[gornto]

i bet nolawiseguy has his own book or some shy, thats how he knows so much--not that i have anything against it (i had a misdemeanor promoting gambling charge myself back in 02). Therefore, i must agree with him, the marcellos may be gone but that doesnt mean there arent any new families. Nolawiseguy,like myself takes his knowledge from firsthand experiences, while westside has nothing more than some internet website to base his statements off.

It's easy to make claims on the internet where nobody can verify what you say one way or the other. Bottom line, there hasn't been any significant mob activity in New Orleans in nearly 20 years. That should tell you something.

Oh I agree with you, but saying that there isnt any italian organized crime there at all...probably impossible

New Orleans Has a New Boss

Michael Tufaro seems to have taken control of the New Orleans Mafia along with his brother Joseph "Joey" Tufaro. The Tufaro brothers have a five decade family history in the New Orleans Mob. They also have family ties to the New York Colombo Family that go back to the 80's. Here are a few links and some other infomation that supports this line of thinking.
The New Orleans crime family has or had an impact throughout all Louisiana and several other southern states like Missouri, Texas and Mississippi. It has an estimated 10 "made" members left and many more associates. Some people say it is almost dead; others claim that it is one of the most powerful Mafia crime families in the United States today. It has been said that they are still active but these reports are unsubstantiated.Since Hurricane Katrina two brothers Joseph and Michael Tufaro have emereged as a new force in New Orleans. Michael Tufaro[1] has a long history of run ins with the law and was acussed of being part of an attempt to "fix" a federal trial[2] as far back as 1988. He was released from prison in 2003 for a kidnaping sceme[3] where Tufaro would kidnap local drug dealers and hold them for ransom.They also have family ties to New York[4] and the Colombo Family. The Tufaro brothers own[5] and control a large residential sub-divison that has resulted in a RICO[6] case being brought against them it seems as though their futre is still in question.We will be waiting and watching to see if this is the return of the "old school" New Orleans mafia.

Here are some good links on the New Orleans Crime Family.
This first site has some FBI reports

Check out the names in this court case its a who's who's of the top LCN members of several NY LCN Family's.

I have obtained through the FOIA alot of documents on the New Orleans Crime Family. All it takes is a little time and effort and of course you have to spend a few bucks. You should try it. BTW I would also like to point out that none of the people mentioned have denied the posts. Because everything I ever post is true and can be backed up with government documents.

Here is a link that you can use to search the New Orleans Criminal Court records.

http://www.opcso.org/dcktmstr/dcktmstr.php


This link has Michael Tufaro and a former U.S. Representative in 1988 trying to influence a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit. This former U.S. Representative was convicted in 1986 on a charge that he bribed an Indian chief for exclusive rights to hold bingo games on a Chitamacha tribal reservation at Charenton.

I have posted this as well as many other things on the New Orleans LCN family that are all based on years of work and research.

This link has a FREE report from 2007.

This is a real good link for the UNBIASED researcher. It has a member of the Los Angeles LCN working with "high ranking members of the New Orleans LCN".

This link has a ton of info on the New Orleans Crime Families current status.

I'm biased? You're the one with the agenda. Vaccaro has been in Nevada's "Black Book" for years and years now. The activity that put him there was a long time ago. Nothing remotely within a recent time frame from which to base an argument that there is still an LCN family in New Orleans.

You can try all you want. But you're trying to get water out of a well that dried up a long time ago. And, for crying out loud, quit posting the link to your Blog. IT'S A BLOG! So it means jack crap!

Yes it is a blog but all the documents posted on it are REAL FBI and court documents. The MCC Crimnal Intelligence Division has one of the current high ranking members of the New Orleans LCN ( Michael Tufaro) meeting with high ranking members of the Colombo LCN Family as recently as 2009 in New York, Florida, and New Orleans. But unlike you I have spent the time and money to obtain these documents ! If anybody would like to veiw them they can visit http://neworleansmafia.blogspot.com/

If you bothered to do any actual research on the New Orleans LCN you would see they are very much still active.

[nolawiseguy]

Good stuff posted here. I like the fact that talkreal uses documented facts to back up his assertions while west side just constantly parrots his same old tired opinions over and over hoping that the repitition will eventually give him credibility. Why someone would be so hell bent on trying to convince everybody that there hasn't been any LCN activity in Nola in 20 years when there clearly has been is beyond me. Typical message board nazi who gets blown up but decides to go down with the ship anyway!
