Victor J. Orena[1] (born August 4, 1934),[2] also known as "Little Vic", is a New York City mobster who became the acting boss of the Colombo crime family.[3] A challenge by Orena to boss Carmine Persico triggered one of the bloodiest Mafia wars of the late 20th century, and the last major mob war in New York City to date.
