Carmine Persico got released in 1979; It's common knowledge that Tom DiBella was Acting Boss or Official Boss while Persico he was in jail (Different topic though).
How was Persico as Boss on the streets during that 2-3 year period in 79-81...??????????
Was he meeting with other bosses and what did Castellano; Corallo; Salerno/Gigante feel about him?
I saw a picture yesturday with Carmine and Allie Boy (His son) on a mobster documentary. That's the 1st time I've ever seen them together as father and son. It had to be in that 1979-1981 time frame.

Yeah, that looks like CP's brother, not son. Carmine and brother Allie in one and Carmine Teddy sr and Allie other. Teddy was not built for the life but stayed in for blood .

@Serpiente
When you say he came up with every powerful boss; Could you elaborate?? I know he was close with Joe Colombo; I don't know if he was behind his hit but it's still a theory out there...
@Streetbossliborio
I don't have the picture with him and Little Allie Boy. I saw him on a mobster documentary a few nights ago with Little Allie Boy and a Female standing side by side. Carmine had to be in his late 40's.... The 1979-1981 time frame where he was out on the streets as boss.
@MightyDR
Never knew Persico was beefing with Castellano and Salerno over the concrete rackets; That's interesting.
Yea.... Most of the bosses didn't like eachother but wasn't Salerno and Corallo close???
Also Persico was close with Carmine Galante.

What I mean is his age and where he came up Red Hook and that area was thick with powerful guys and as he rose in power he was doing stuff with guys that became leaders and acting bosses and bosses. Now you have to remember that once you become boss you are competing with all the other bosses because every dollar you make indirectly comes out of another bosses pocket . Not counting what the families shared together. I don’t mean he was best friends with them . Although Casso and Amuso were younger but they would be up the farm with there blood and Carmine blood . There are a lot of these guy children that were dating and married other guys in the life also and Carmine family did just that . Many powerful guys were Carmine age and ran with him and also the favors he did with hits they all could of buried each other if they wanted.

dibella was the official boss. hes the guys who inducted abunch of colombos guys in the 70tys. i dont even think theres any turncoat who said carmine inducted in guys well he was boss cause he was only on the street for a few years like 2 and i think the books were closed. michael franzese and scarpa jr talked about there induction and dibella being the boss no mention of carmine. i think the guy was content with stepping down he was up there in age. he buddy carlo gambino died. bosses were going to jail funzi tieri few got killed Yeah don’t think he was a puppet boss but something was up the way it all went down....unless he was that type personality that mob guys are usually not “. and just decided to ride off into the sunset. But you are right nobody says he was a puppet but it’s unusual for a guy ten years in joint walks out right into the biggest position in his field.

Looks to me like DiBella was acting boss for Persico. Franzese, Cantelupo, Bonavolonta and Fratianno all said he was acting boss. I think Scarpa may have said Persico only became official boss in 1980, but who knows what angle he was working. https://www.nytimes.com/1977/06/05/...es-after-failure-of-overthrow-chief.htmlI think this article is pretty interesting. Says that DiBella is official boss, but that the Persicos are the most powerful faction and DiBella massively favours them.

He could of been a front and for stability reasons the family was saying he was boss because Carmine was in prison and that family always had a lot of strife , so most likely he was a front because he quietly bounced as soon as Carmine got out there was zero news about it and as we see not many wanted the details to be known.

Imagine how many street guys thought Persico was a little piss ant, I'll squash him like a grape, and then came to regret it !! That’s why they called him “The Snake†He fucked a lot of people and surrounded himself with people better than he could ever be at a many different things, resulting in a powerful position. A classic rule many never had the smarts to follow.
