Anthony Falange was another decades-long top player in the Falcone regime of Utica, NY under the flag of the Magaddino Family of Buffalo. Federal investigations believed that Falange became a resident “overseer” of all Falcone regime loansharking operations.
Investigators believed he had taken over the prior responsibilities of fellow soldier Russ Mancuso who had previously been the top man for acting capo Joe Falcone. Soon after, Falange was being labeled a “top mafia lieutenant” and even a possible successor to Joe Falcone himself.
