This truly turned out to be a massive narcotics case, because, although their drug network was headquartered in NYC (East Harlem,) the mob extended their tentacles across a wide swath of other cities and states including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Maryland, Cleveland, Chicago, etc., suppling multi-kilo quantities of heroin and cocaine to local distributors for many years.

All told, the combined forces of local/state/federal authorities took down 97 suspects, representing at least 3 different NYC crime families.

In additional to Tramunti, Inglese and Lentini, some of the other top mafiosi snagged included such notorious names as Gennaro (Jerry Z) Zanfardino, Martin (Big Jinks) DeSaverio, John (Johnny Echoes) Compopiano, John (Johnny Hooks) Capra, and Anthony (Tony) Loria....to name but a few.
