The Rise and Fall of Colombo Acting Boss Allie Boy Persico

Alphonse “Little Allie Boy” Persico, born in 1954, skyrocketed to fame as the acting boss of the notorious Colombo crime family, taking the reins from his father, Carmine Persico. Although he initially showed great promise in school, Persico left law school behind to embrace the Mafia life, swiftly climbing the ranks to become a soldier and then a capo in his 20s. He played a crucial role in the Colombo family’s saga, especially during the explosive 1991 uprising led by Victor Orena, who aimed to dethrone the Persico dynasty. From behind bars, Persico masterminded the family's counterattack, successfully crushing the rebellion by 1993. After his release, he stepped into the role of acting boss in 1996, but his reign was marred by constant legal battles, including a 1999 weapons bust. In 2009, he was handed a life sentence for the 1999 assassination of underboss William “Wild Bill” Cutolo, who was viewed as a looming threat to his power. Whispered rumors also tie him to other heinous acts, such as the 1992 hit on Michael Devine. Now at 70 years old, Persico resides in FCI McKean, marking the dramatic downfall of a man once destined to lead one of New York’s most infamous crime families. #LittleAllieBoyPersico #ColomboFamily #MafiaHistory
