The Moltisanti crew was one of the eight crews of the Soprano Crime Family. Founded in 2005 by Christopher Moltisanti, It served as a successor to his father's crew. It was also known for being the youngest, having been the only crew founded in the 2000s. The crew became defunct in 2007 when Christopher was murdered, and it was then merged back with the Gualtieri crew.

Foundation and Chrissy's reign (2005-2007)[]

The Moltisanti crew was founded in 2005 by Christopher Moltisanti. Chrissy was Tony Soprano's protégé and cousin by marriage. Chrissy had been a loyal Associate to the Soprano crew throughout the late 1990s and later a Soldier as of 2000. In 2005, christopher was promoted to captain of his own crew. The crew was made up of Chrissy's closest friends, who were all young, bright mobsters. Benny Fazio and James "Murmur" Zancone were considered Chrissy's two most trusted men. The crew was commonly used as a physical tool in terms of interrogation and threatening, due to their young, strong members. They were also in charge of handling the Two hitmen from the Naples Camorra, using their Italian fluent associate Corky Caporale, most notably for the hit on rusty millio. During 2006 and 2007, Christopher and his crew produced the Mafia Slasher movie Cleaver, which was a success.

Christopher started to grow anger and resentment for Tony, due to him not giving him as much money making businesses as the other capos, and for always chastising him and joking about his abstinence of alcohol. After an incident with Paulie Gualtieri, Chrissy descends back into his drug addictions, and was later suffocated to death by Tony after a car accident, in which he was high on cocaine. The rest of the crew was then merged back into the Gualtieri Crew shortly thereafter. Though most of Chrissy’s crew had lost their respect for Tony.
