Capo in the Lupertazzi family. During the infighting following boss Carmine Lupertazzi's death in 2004 Little Carmine courted Jerry's loyalty with a washing machine and a visit to the Lupertazzi home.

Jerry Basile is also the only Capo involved in the power struggle that has retained his position as Capo.

Associated with the Lupertazzi crime family. During the infighting following boss Carmine Lupertazzi's death in 2004 Lorraine kicked up to Little Carmine, who was also reportedly her lover. She was intimidated by Phil Leotardo who shot at her using a phone book to stop the bullet and warned her to start paying Johnny Sack. Lorraine sought a sit down with Tony Soprano through Angelo Garepe to ask him to intercede in the Lupertazzi infighting. When she did not comply Phil returned with his brother Billy and associate Joe Peeps - they shot and killed her and her partner Jason Evanina in her home. Lorraine also once had a sexual relationship with Tony.

Albie is Phil Leotardo's consigliere. He helped mediate the Barone Sanitation dispute with the Soprano crime family. He also attended Allegra Sacrimoni's wedding, and sat at Phil's left hand at the meal to celebrate Gerry Torciano getting his "button." Albie accompanied Phil to Jersey for the Feast of St. Elzear, and helped organize the distribution of stolen vitamins that Tony offered them from a truck hijacking. Once Johnny Sack allocuted in federal court, Albie expressed relief, saying, "Could have been worse. He could've flipped." Phil Leotardo expressed outrage at this statement - he felt that Johnny should have stood trial instead of admitting the existence of "this thing of ours."

Charles is the owner of Cinelli sanitation - the Lupertazzi crime family's waste management front. He was involved in a dispute over Barone sanitation following the death of Dick Barone in 2006 which ended with him buying the company. He attended Allegra Sacrimoni's wedding.

Butch is a captain in the Lupertazzi Crime Family under Phil Leotardo. He attended Little Carmine Lupertazzi's "meeting of minds" to try to resolve a dispute with the DiMeo crime family in 2006. After the effort failed DeConcini was vocal in his desire to move against Tony Soprano, DeConcini was critical of Albie Cianflone's assertion that the attack showed that Tony had balls saying he felt his bombing of one of Phil's properties was similar to the 9/11 attacks and should be met with an effort to eradicate the perpetrators. When Phil refused to consider killing a boss it was Butch who suggested they move on someone else in Tony's family. Phil soon suffered a myocardial infarction and Butch kept watch at the hospital with others - he was confrontational when Tony visited Phil.

Partner of Lorraine Calluzzo a shylock in New York associated with the Lupertazzi family. During the infighting following boss Carmine Lupertazzi's death Lorraine kicked up to Little Carmine. She was intimidated by Phil Leotardo and warned to start paying Johnny Sack. When she did not comply Phil returned with Billy Leotardo and Joe Peeps. Billy shot and killed Jason and as Lorraine tried to escape she was killed by Joe and Billy.

Angelo was consigliere to Carmine Lupertazzi for 30 years before his incarceration. Angelo was imprisoned on charges relating to a construction project in Yonkers. During his prison time he became close friends with Tony Blundetto. He was released alongside Blundetto as part of the "Class of 2004."

Infighting occurred amongst the members of the Lupertazzi Crime Family following Carmine's death. Angelo chose Little Carmine's side along with capo Rusty Millio. Even though Angelo claimed to be "retired," he remained an important figure, and was suggested by Tony Soprano as part of a power sharing triumvirate to end the infighting (Tony's proposal was that Johnny Sack, Little Carmine, and Angelo would all be equally in charge, but no major decisions could be made without a majority vote). Angelo reluctantly went along with the idea. Interestingly though, Tony told Johnny Sack that the power sharing idea was Angelo's - this was intentional on Tony's part to cause further dissent amongst the Lupertazzi Crime Family (Tony had mentioned to Christopher Moltisanti that they could benefit by picking up the "crumbs from the fallout"). Johnny Sack, of course, angrily dismissed this power sharing idea.

During the infighting, Angelo recruited his old friend, Tony Blundetto, to murder Joseph "Joey Peeps" Peparelli - an associate of Johnny Sack and member of Phil Leotardo's crew. Following this, Phil and his brother, Billy Leotardo, killed Angelo.

Angelo's murder had two major repercussions - it caused Little Carmine to withdraw from the fight, as he couldn't stomach anymore bloodshed, making Johnny Sack the unquestioned successor to Carmine, Sr. It also provoked Tony Blundetto to pursue the Leotardos, shooting and killing Billy and wounding Phil (Blundetto thought of Angelo as a father). This nearly started a war between the New York and New Jersey crews, and anger from this conflict remains to the present time.

A member of the Lupertazzi crime family under Phil Leotardo, Gamiello joined Leotardo in reacting with scorn when hearing of Johnny Sack's decision to take a plea bargain and break omerta. Gamiello murdered Vito Spatafore because of his homosexuality alongside Gerry Torciano while Leotardo watched. Later, Dom visited Satriale's to deliver money to Silvio Dante and Carlo Gervasi. He made some crude remarks about Spatafore's death and implied that Gervasi was also homosexual and was immediately silenced by a blow to the back of the head from Dante and numerous stab wounds to the stomach by Gervasi.

Anthony Infante is the brother of Ginny Sacrimoni, and the brother-in-law of Johnny Sack. Infante is an optometrist, but also serves as a reluctant back-channel through which Tony Soprano and Johnny Sack communicate while Johnny is in federal detention. Although the business and etiquette of the mob was alien to him, with coded discussion proving a particular difficulty, Infante made an effort to assist Johnny in salvaging what was left of his command.

When Johnny agreed to asset seizures to lessen his sentence, he had Anthony reach out to Tony to arrange the sale of a share of a company that he was an unofficial partner in. The owners were in New Orleans and after a difficult first meeting Tony was not optimistic. Anthony realised the importance of the deal to his sister and family and arranged a more favourable share for Tony to ensure that it would go through.

Anthony was often teased by Tony and his crew in his role as a go-between - they stole sunglasses from his shop and played with him when he brought a gift for Tony and not Sil to a meeting. He also had some dififculty communicating in code with Johnny.

Associate of the Leotardo Crew. Takes part in the beat down on Hesh's son-in-law. Later attends the meeting with Tony, Hesh, Phil Leotardo and Gerry Torciano to make restitution for Hesh's son-in-law's injuries. Later seen guarding Phil's hospital bed after his massive heart attack.

Associate in Phil's crew, Phil's younger brother and partner in crime. Billy killed Lorraine Calluzzo and Jason Evanina with his friend Joe Peeps. Joe was killed soon after and Billy took part in the response - a hit on Angelo Garepe. Finally, Billy himself was killed by Tony Blundetto in revenge for the death of his friend Angelo, causing lasting distress to his brother, who was wounded in the same assault.

Associate in Phil Leotardo's crew. Jason accompanies Phil on his hunt for Tony B after Phil's injury. He participates in the beating of Benny Fazio and the intimidation of Joanne Moltisanti. In the episode "Johnny Cakes" Sil tells Tony that Jason thought he saw Vito but was mistaken while both families are searching for Vito.

Rusty was a capo in the Lupertazzi crime family and was married to Gianna Millio. Rusty was a close associate of Little Carmine and considered to be one of the instigators in Little Carmine's power play following boss Carmine Lupertazzi's death. Often accompanied by Eddie Pietro, a Lupertazzi soldier who acts as Rusty's driver. Helped Angelo Garepe orchestrate the hit on Joe Peeps (with Tony Blundetto as the hitman) after telling Little Carmine "We'll steam roll right over John. And I predict the guys on the street...they'll welcome us as fuckin' heroes."

Since the truce and Johnny Sack's arrest Rusty refuses to be in the same room as acting boss Phil Leotardo. He attends a funeral with many members of the Soprano family. Johnny Sack ordered a hit on Rusty (aka "The Mayor of Munchkin Land") through Tony. Johnny called for the hit because he felt Rusty was likely to position someone to try and wrest power away from him while he was in prison. In the episode, "Luxury Lounge" Rusty was assassinated in his driveway by Italian hitmen contracted by Tony.

A soldier or associate in Rusty Millio's crew. Acted as a driver for Rusty in "All Happy Families..." Was most likely an early version of Eddie Pietro.

He has yet to appear in any future episodes.

Associate in Phil Leotardo's crew and an aide-de-camp to Johnny Sack. Joey was drinking alongside Johnny Sack when he thought Donny K was laughing at him - this was during his beef with Ralph and his crew over an insult to Ginny Sack. Joey was unable to restrain John from following Donny outside, beating and urinating on him but Joey quickly spirited John away from the scene once he was finished, After this incident Johnny ordered Joe to put a contract on Captain Ralph Ciferetto, when Johnny decided to call the hit off it was joey who called the hitman.

Often went to high-level Sit-Down's with Johnny Sack. During the infighting amongst the Lupertazzi crime family Joe and Billy Leotardo killed lady shylock Lorraine Calluzzo for kicking up to Little Carmine instead of Johnny Sack. Killed by Tony Blundetto when leaving a brothel. When ordering his death Angelo Garepe referred to him as "a friend of John's, not a friend of ours" assuring Blundetto that he was not a made man.

Main article: Johnny Sacrimoni

Protege of Phil Leotardo, also known as "the Hairdo." Appears to be handling the street business of Phil Leotardo's old crew, possibly as Acting Capo. Torciano got into an altercation with Hesh Rabkin and his son-in-law Eli over business being done on the crews territory. Torciano's men burned them out of their car, beat up Eli, and slugged Rabkin. As Eli fled he was hit by a car and hospitalized. Later, Torciano apologized to Tony, claiming that he thought Eli was a civilian, and made restitution for his injuries.

Torciano attended Allegra Sacrimoni's wedding and listened to Phil's discussion of Johnny Sack's apparent weakness when he was dragged away in tears.

Torciano got his "button" in 2006 after this altercation. A celebratory dinner was held for him at Nuovo Vesuvio attended by members of the Soprano and Lupertazzi crime families. Torciano accompanied Leotardo on his visit to Jersey for the Feast of St. Elzear and later accompanied Leotardo to a meeting about the new Tidelands construction project. Torciano and Fat Dom Gamiello murdered Vito Spatafore in his motel room while Leotardo watched..
