Families of The Mafia is back with season 2 welcoming some new families. The Cutolo family are one of the new additions, bringing to the show a long-standing family history of mafia crime.
The Cutolo family featured in the series will show their journey of escaping the mafia and returning to normal life after their time in the witness protection program.
But who are the current generation of the Cutolo family?
Billy Cutolo Jr.
The son of William Cutolo, once a notorious Brooklyn mobster who committed several murders, followed in his father’s footsteps through illegal gambling, loansharking and extortion.
In 2001, when Billy’s father, William disappeared and was later pronounced murdered, Billy and his family were entered into the witness protection programme. Here, Billy avenged his father’s death by helping to pin down other powerful mob bosses.
As seen in Billy’s Instagram bio he now strives “to make the world a lil lighter/ brighter”, along with an abundance of smiley selfies. Billy’s social media also features a photo captioned ‘WiLD BiLL / At EaSe’, showing his former happy memories of his father, who was often known as ‘Wild bill’.
