- Salvatore DiLorenzo was the only one of the mobsters allowed to walk free on Wednesday night
- Four were remanded in jail due to being seen as a risk by the state, with four others having made bond but the DOJ attempting to keep them in custody
Eight of ten members and associates of the Gambino crime family stayed in custody after pleading not guilty on racketeering charges Wednesday – after a years-long international operation to bring the alleged criminals to justice.
The Gambino men, from Manhattan, Staten Island, the Bronx, New Jersey, and Long Island, have allegedly been wreaking havoc in New York for the past 27 years.
Salvatore DiLorenzo was the only one of the mobsters allowed to walk free on Wednesday night after nine of them pled not guilty. He was released on a $500,000 bond.
Kyle Johnson, 46, known as ‘Twin,’ and Angelo Gradilone, 57, known as ‘Fifi,’ Diego ‘Danny’ Tantillo, and the alleged captain of the Gambino crime ring – 52-year-old Joseph Lanni – were all remanded in jail with no possibility of bond.
Lanni’s wife burst out crying when her husband – known by nicknames ‘Joe Brooklyn,’ and ‘Mommino’ – was remanded. He blew her a kiss from behind the bench.
Tantilo and Gradilone’s attorneys both told DailyMail.com after the arraignment that their clients are innocent.

RELATED: 10 Gambino crime family mobsters indicted over violent attempts to take over NYC garbage hauling and demolition industry
Published November 8, 2023
Ten alleged mafiosos from the Gambino crime family were indicted by the feds for their alleged violent attempts to take over the Big Apple’s garbage hauling and demolition industry — which included a hammer attack that sent one worker to the hospital and a grim threat to cut a business owner in half with a knife.
The defendants — who include made men and mob associates — were hit with charges including racketeering conspiracy, extortion, witness retaliation, fraud and embezzlement, according to the indictment unsealed Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court.
They each face between 20 and 180 years in prison for the laundry list of crimes they’re accused of — many so brutal they’d make Tony Soprano grin.
“As alleged, for years, the defendants committed violent extortions, assaults, arson, witness retaliation and other crimes in an attempt to dominate the New York carting and demolition industries,” Breon Peace, the US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement.
