Ianniello was never a CT guy. He just oversaw what they had up there from long distance. O'nofrio was a CT guy but he too was kinda split, handling stuff downtown NY that for me didn't make sense. Years back they had Vinny Pollina, Sabby Basso, Vito Sabia, Midge Annunziata, the Curcio brothers, etc. All of whom lived and operated there.
But the Gambino crew have always had a large presence up that way where they also resided. Going back before even Frank Piccolo, Guido Penosi, and Tommy DeBrizzi, to guys like Ippolito Agresta, Willy the Creep Conforte, Paulie Legs, etc.
But to be sure, those two outfits were the most prominent. (aside from Patriarca's who actually had a limited presence by comparison).

although conrad ianniello is currently imprisoned would he have still operated in the state? or is there any members of his crew continuing his rackets.
eugene o'nofrio has also been mentioned but not sure if it is because he lives in connecticut? he has also been mentioned as a crew leader in manhattan and springfield,mass.?
could find no current info on the gambinos after the death of anthony megale and not aware of who he had in his crew.
Conrad Ianniello has been out for awhile now. He’s a Bronx guy not anything with CT

What about the other families (Lucchese, Bonanno, Colombo, Philly and DeCavalcante)? Do they still have a presence in New England? The Lucchese and Bonanno crews never had a presence in CT to speak of. And the Colombo crew hasn't had any representation there since the days of "Whitey" Tropiano who was a soldier (and later became an informant). He got clipped for being a rat around 1980-81 if my memory serves me correctly. They lured him back to Brooklyn and shot him dead. Philly never had a presence in CT, and the DeCavalcante crew were very strong at one time years back in the City of Waterbury, and to a lesser degree in New Britain. But with the demise of the LeSelva brothers faction, they too are defunct in the state. Gambino and Genovese. And a few Patriarca men. Thats the long and the short of it in recent years. Today? Who knows. I'm sure they still have a presence, but its a much smaller footprint for sure. The poser is mostly gone I believe.
