A couple of recent examples would be the Gambino’s taking over what was left of the Trafficante Family.

Again the Gambino’s made a move out to New Orleans, with some joint rackets.
The feds shut that down pretty quickly.

L.A. crew is currently headed by a Gambino, they are really under the Gambino flag now.


Or again recently the Philadelphia family Re-aligned themselves with the westside
So they could stand up to the Luke’s.

And I am guessing the DeCavs were concerned about whoever moving in on their turf
So they aligned themselves with the Gambino’s.

So I think it would be more mutual.

And I am pretty sure the DeCavs probably more or less still steer their ship.
They just kick up stairs to the Gambino’s

If they want to make new guys they would ask the Gambino’s for permission.

All the above Is what I have read from websites like G.R. and Gangland News etc.
I don’t have any personal knowledge about the above.
