 Welcome to the regional gangsters podcast. I'm your host Scott Bernstein quick hitter edition where to go out to Brooklyn. And we're going to have another kind of welcome home episode. We're going to say, welcome back to the Big Apple Boobsy Castelli, former acting under boss of the Lucchese crime family. This is a guy that's kind of been all over the map in terms of in the Lucchese pecking order rank and file. He's been a soldier. He's been a cop. Oh, and he's also been an acting underboss younger in his younger days. I went to prison about four or five years ago on a racketeering bookmaking case. And he was listed as a soldier. Another bus that he took in the early 2000s was when he was listed as an acting underboss. And I believe he was a couple before that came up under Stevie Wonder and was Stevie Kria's acting under boss in the late 90s. We'll see where he fits back in. There's, you know, a lot of talk about, I don't want to say a major shake up, but we heard recently via John Penise and some of my reporting that it looks like Patty Del Russo went from underboss and now it seems like he's close to the airy and Georgie neck as a pollock could be in the acting underboss spot right now with Big Mike DeSantis at the top of that pyramid as the acting boss with Little Vic Amuso in prison as the godfather. But, you know, Boobsy is part of the faction that was leading the family up until the big bus in 2017. They all got taken down in, or they all got found guilty at a racketeering trial in 2019. Guys like Stevie Wonder and Maddie Madonna. John Penise was the star witness at that trial as well as Boobsy Castelli's trial. And there was, I don't want to get into the drama, but this was, you know, on the, in the court record as part of the testimony, it looks like there was some romance going on with between Boobsy Castelli and John Penise's girlfriend led to some words and possible other stuff between Penise and Castelli. It came up in the court testimony that Penise gave. I don't think it had anything to do with what Penise was saying. What he was saying was the facts, but also the, you know, he didn't particularly like Castelli because of the fact that Castelli was running around with his girlfriend behind his back. Again, I don't know where that, I don't think it's going to affect Boobsy Castelli now on the, when he gets on the street right now. He's not a guy that's going to, you know, hang up his spurs or anything. John Penise is a nonfactor in that family right now. But as I said, he was part of that Stevie Kria group who's no longer in power. So we'll see how he fits back in with Big Mike and Patty and, and those guys. But Boobsy Castelli, bodybuilder, a guy that's known as a partier. I believe he got arrested at one point and the cops caught him smoking a joint when they collared him. So he's a good time type dude. I hope he's having a good time back, back in Brooklyn. We'll keep you updated with all the guys that are coming in and out of lock up, as well as, you know, the latest on any breaking news when it comes to the five families in New York, OG pod, I'm Scott Bernstein out.
