Columbo Crime Family - Mob Talk

June, 1988 - Theodore “Teddy” Persico, nephew of Colombo family boss Carmine “The Snake” Persico, is sentenced to 20-years-to-life for drug dealing. On three separate occasions, he had sold more than thirteen ounces of cocaine to undercover officers.

The day after the Cutolo murder, DeRoss unsuccessfully ransacked Cutolo's home office in Staten Island for Cutolo's loansharking records and a $1.5 million cash stash (hidden in a stove vent).

He was a soldier of the JoJo Russo crew before being made a Capo in 1991. Clemenza was in the Orena faction (during the third Colombo war, & a loyal supporter of Vic Orena).
