	Colombo Crime Family
		The first don of what was later called the Colombo crime family, Joe Profaci, came to power upon the conclusion of the Castellammarese War.
		Profaci thus served with Lucky Luciano, Vince Mangano, Joe Bonanno and Tom Gagliano as head of one of the five Mafia families in New York that comprised the nucleus of the Mafia force in the national crime syndicate.
		Despite the fact that hostility between Colombo and the FBI made it the most intensely watched crime family, it took the government three years to discover the new boss was Thomas DiBella.
