Manna's New Jersey base of operation was
Casella's Restaurant in Hoboken, from where he
oversaw gambling, loansharking, labor racketeering, corruption and pier thefts in the region. The
owner of this restaurant, Martin Casella, is subordinate to Manna and is considered to be a significant
member, acting as Manna's deputy and chief assistant in the organization. Recent investigative findings reveal that Casella controlled portions of
Hudson County once believed to be the domain of
the late John DiGilio. Furthermore, there are strong
indications that Casella acted as a conduit of information for Manna.
Manna, who had been jailed for three years
in the 1970's for refusing to answer questions about
organized crime before the SCI, was successfully
targeted by law enforcement in the 1980's. He was
convicted in June, 1989, of ordering the murder of
New York businessman Irwin Schiff and of plotting
the murder of Gambino boss John Gotti and Gotti's
brother, Gene. These convictions, along with those
for racketeering and conspiracy, make it likely that
Manna eventually will be replaced as consigliere of
the Genovese family, but that designation has yet to
be made. In fact, sources report that Manna continues to issue instructions from prison and had a voice
in picking a successor to take over John DiGilio's
operations.

New Jersey Fact:
"New Jersey is a small state on the eastern seaboard halfway between Honest John Lindsay and the Liberty Bell. It is best known for its turnpike, Atlantic City, Imamu Baraka, Newark Airport and the Morro Castle disaster. Most of its leaders are in jail for stealing money...."
Over thirty years ago, this was how a New York Times writer described New Jersey. The only things that have changed are that now Bloomberg has Lindsay's old job and Amiri Baraka figured out somewhere along the line that it's not too swift for an atheist to use a religious title.
