GoLocal has secured police line-up photos of members of the Patriarca family arrests over decades. [13] Law enforcement agencies worked to develop informers within the mob and finally succeeded in 1966 when Joe Barboza, a hit man for the Patriarca family who claimed to have killed 26 people, was arrested on a concealed weapons charge. The arrests were described as "the most sweeping attack ever launched on a single organized crime family." In April 1997, the FBI indicted 15 members of the renegade faction, including Robert F. Carrozza, Anthony Ciampi, Michael P. Romano, Sr., Paul A. DeCologero, Anthony Allan Diaz, Vincent Michael Marino, John J. Patti III, Enrico M. Ponzo, Christopher Puopolo, Eugene A. Rida, Jr., Nazzaro Ralph Scarpa, John M. Arciero, Leo M. Boffoli, Todd Mitchell, Sean Thomas Cote, and Mark F. While Patriarca was in prison, Angiulo served as acting boss. After Salemme was imprisoned, a renegade faction led by Robert F. Carrozza, Anthony Ciampi, Stephen Foye, and Michael P. Romano, Sr. waged war on the Salemme faction. Zannino was made consigliere, but he was sentenced to thirty years in prison in 1987. Along with fixing horse races and shipping weapons to the IRA, the group was responsible for crimes that ranges from loan sharking and illegal gambling to truck hijacking and . For his testimony, Barboza was given a one-year prison term, including time served. During the late 1910s, Gaspare Massina founded the Boston crime family, while Frank Morelli formed the Providence family, and after a period of power struggles and changing leaderships, Raymond Patriarca Sr. became the boss in 1954, drastically changing the structure of the organization and relocating it to Providence. After Salemme was imprisoned, a renegade faction led by Robert F. Carrozza, Anthony Ciampi, Stephen Foye, and Michael P. Romano, Sr. waged war on the Salemme faction. However, Larry Zannino, the family's top lieutenant, backed Patriarca's son Raymond Patriarca, Jr. for the position. [54][55] He was succeeded by his acting boss Carmen DiNunzio, who is the current family leader. Patriarca was also in attendance and was subsequently arrested when the meeting was suddenly raided by police, drawing much attention to him from the press, the public, and law enforcement. After Prohibition was repealed, the Patriarca family began to grow and become one of the citys most powerful crime families. The family is primarily active in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut with other territory throughout New England. Angiulo was based in Boston and gained complete control of gambling in the city.
