Timeline

1947

Steven L. "Stevie" Crea (born July 18, 1947) is an American mobster and former underboss of the Lucchese crime family.

1970

In the late 1970s, Crea worked closely with his mentor and close friend Vincent DiNapoli, a made member of Genovese crime family, who was in the construction "rehab" industry.

1979

By 1979, Crea and Vincent DiNapoli began working with SEBCO (South East Bronx Community Organization), an organization created by Catholic priest Louis Gigante, who was the brother of Genovese family boss Vincent Gigante.

SEBCO was an organization of low-income housing in the South East Bronx that was funded by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Crea and DiNapoli's drywall companies were able to secure millions of dollars in construction projects award by SEBCO.

1980

Sometime in the early 1980s, Crea was inducted into the Lucchese crime family, under the reign of boss Anthony Corallo.

1983

In 1983, DiNapoli was imprisoned, and Crea took control of the construction business with SEBCO.

The FBI reported that Crea visited Vincent DiNapoli in prison a number of times.

Crea lived in a home just across the street from DiNapoli and he became DiNapoli's daughter godfather, helping her arrange her wedding while DiNapoli was in prison.

1985

In 1985, Crea was convicted of conspiracy to plot to murder a Bronx man who Crea believed had assaulted his wife, but in 1987, his conviction was overturned.

1990

In 1990, family boss Victor Amuso promoted Crea to caporegime (captain), taking over Samuel "Sammy Bones" Castaldi's crew in the Bronx.

Crea specialized in labor racketeering, and gained control over Carpenter's Local 608, using it to extort New York City contractors.

He also held a no-show job at Inner City Drywall, one of the city's largest drywall contractors and was involved with Local 282 of the Cement and Concrete Workers Union.

This angered former underboss Anthony Casso and his Brooklyn loyalists George Zappola and Frank "Spaghetti Man" Gioia, Jr. who during the early 1990s, plotted to murder Crea and retake control of the family.

The Brooklyn loyalists planned to lure Crea to a sit-down (a mafia meeting) and then murder him.

However, the plot fell through after Zappola, Gioia, and the rest of Casso's faction were indicted and imprisoned.

1993

In 1993, imprisoned family boss Vic Amuso promoted Crea to underboss of the Lucchese family.

Crea along with his Bronx allies, shifted the family's power center away from the Brooklyn crews and back to the Bronx and Upper Manhattan crews, which had historically controlled the family for decades.

1997

From 1997 through 1999, Crea served as the head of the "Lucchese Construction Group", which also included Lucchese caporegimes (capos) Dominic Truscello, head of the Prince Street crew, and Joseph Tangorra, head of a Brooklyn crew.

The Construction Group brokered the bribes and "mob tax" payments to be received from contractors, and settled disputes over who would dominate a particular construction site.

The group also, placed mobsters on company payrolls so they could report legitimate taxable income to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

During its existence, the Construction Group controlled over $40 million in construction contracts, increasing overall construction costs by 5%.

1998

1999

In December 1999, Crea and Joseph Datello talked about bribery and extortion with Sean Richard, the son-in-law of John Riggi, the boss of the DeCavalcante crime family.

2000

On September 6, 2000, Crea and other members of the Lucchese Construction Group were indicted in New York on state enterprise corruption, labor racketeering, extortion, and bid-rigging charges.

The District Attorney charged that these schemes had systematically siphoned off millions of dollars from both public and private construction projects.

Specifically, Crea used mob associates to extort building contractors who wished to receive rights to no-bid jobs or who wanted to reduce the number of union members on their payrolls.

2004

Crea's attorney was able to negotiate a favorable plea agreement which called for Crea to plead guilty to enterprise corruption and restraint of trade charges, and in January 2004, he received a 34-month prison sentence.
