WHO SAID THE MAFIA IS DEAD?

For many years the assumption inside New York City and other cities is that the Mafia is dead, names like John Gotti Jr, Carmine Persico, Matty Madonna, Vincent the Chin Gigante, Joey Merlino, Raymond Patriarca, these were dinosaurs dismantled by federal law enforcement and decimated by criminal informants or rats, that can’t be farther from the truth, not ONLY IS THE MAFIA STRONGER THAN EVER, the leaders of the FIVE FAMILIES have GONE BACK TO THEIR OLD WAYS, NO CELL PHONES, COMPUTERS, LAYERS OF SOLDIERS BETWEEN THE LEADERS AND THE STREET, the old ADAGE: NO ONE TALKS EVERYBODY WALKS.

Over the course of the last ten years, there have been major mafia trials inside the Southern and Eastern District courts, in Philadelphia, and even Las Vegas. These trials and stories give a new twist to the old-school mafia tales, it combines the savvy old guard of the Mafia heyday of the 1980s, with a mix of the new school breed of gangster, raised on the Internet, and a vicious code of violence.
