[PAR] [TLE] Vincent Gigante [SEP] Vincent Louis Gigante ( ; March 29, 1928 – December 19, 2005), also known as "Chin", was a New York Italian-American mobster in the American Mafia who was boss of the Genovese crime family from 1981 to 2005.  Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought 25 bouts between 1944 and 1947.  He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family.  Gigante was one of five brothers: Mario, Pasquale, Ralph and he all became mobsters in the Luciano family, forerunner of the Genovese family.  Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a priest.  Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957.  After sharing a prison cell with Costello's rival, Vito Genovese, following Vito's conviction for heroin trafficking, Gigante became a caporegime, overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates that operated out of Greenwich Village.  Gigante was one of Genovese's most loyal supporters, siding with him throughout the struggle for power with Costello. [PAR] [TLE] Greenwich Village Crew [SEP] The Greenwich Village Crew is a crew within the Genovese crime family, active in the Greenwich Village area of Manhattan.  It was originally controlled by Don Vito Genovese from the early 1920s until his arrest in the late 1950s.  In the early 1980s Capo Vincent Gigante, was made the "new boss" of the Genovese crime family.  He continued to operate from and with the "Greenwich Village Crew" members.  Today the crew is still active, but after the death of Dominick Canterino, it is uncertain who is controlling the crew.
