I'm sure they do in some capacity. The sniper van case last year and this year brought it to the forefront that there may be LCN activity in New Orleans. They seem to be closely tied in with the New York families once Marcello passed away. Once the Gambinos and other families were hammered by the Commission Trial, the Gotti Debacle, etc, they seemed to go further into the shadows. I'm sure they still do exist, although their money making enterprises are probably more involved in the internet(porn, gambling, stock manipulation) rather than traditional street rackets which keeps them further out of the eyes of law enforcement.

Pass the grocery store.

A russian was executed in the middle of the street there in 2010.

That story never hit the news.

Everything I've read recently is that there are a few wise guys down in Nola doing book making and loansharking. There is no structured LCN family. I did here the Colombos have a crew down here.

She said he was a known local Nadia member
