Eugene Campo was a soldier in the Genovese Crime Family who operated in Upstate New York and Florida. He seems to have confined his criminal activities to strictly gambling rackets as he was never tied into any of the other typical underworld rackets Cosa Nostra is known for. In fact, authorities once described him as “one of the largest bookmakers in the country.”
He was most closely affiliated with iconic Genovese power Charles (Charlie the Blade) Tourine Sr. and other members of Tourine’s faction such as racketeers Joe Nesline and Gaetano (Tommy Nelson) D’Auria as well as Schenectady-based gamblers Paul (Legs) DiCocco and his brother Duilio (Jake) DiCocco.
