Joseph S. Merlino, nicknamed "Skinny Joey" (born March 13, 1962, in South Philadelphia), is an American mafioso, member of the U.S. Cosa Nostra, and former head of the Philadelphia crime family which controls organized crime as far as Southern New Jersey. He is the son of former Nicky Scarfo underboss/soldier Salvatore "Chuckie" Merlino, who was demoted by Scarfo in 1986 because of his drinking problem and who is currently serving 45 years, following his conviction in 1988 on racketeering charges.[1] He is also the nephew of deceased former Capo Lawrence Merlino.
