The DiMeo crime family, also known as the Genovese crime family, is a prominent organized crime group based in New Jersey. It was originally established in the 1930s and became known for its involvement in various illegal activities, including extortion, racketeering, and drug trafficking. The family has been linked to several high-profile criminal figures over the decades. At its peak, the DiMeo crime family was one of the most powerful factions in the American Mafia. It has undergone numerous leadership changes and internal conflicts, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s. Law enforcement efforts have significantly weakened the family, but it continues to operate in some capacity today.
