The Soprano Crew, also known as the Gualtieri Crew, is a crew in the Soprano crime family, being led, as of the start of the show, by Tony Soprano. It used to be led, and was founded by Tony's father, Johnny before him, and Tony became captain of the crew upon his father's death from emphysema in 1986.

Background The Many Saints of Newark
During the Newark riots of 1967, Johnny and Junior were both arrested during an illegal card game at Rideland. While Junior bails out, Johnny is put on trial and imprisoned, and he spends the next four years in jail, during which time, Junior serves as acting capo of his crew. When he is released in 1972, he reprimands Junior for not stopping black people from moving into the neighborhood, specifically telling him that Dickie Moltisanti, a capo in the family, has been much more efficient than him, creating a lasting and quiet friction between him and Junior. Meanwhile Dickie is busy fighting a gang war with one of his former earners and friend, Harold McBrayer, who has sought to create his own criminal operation. As Dickie, Johnny and soldier Buddha Bonpensiero are coming out of a nightclub in Newark, Harold ambushes them and kills Buddha, escaping before Dickie can kill him. At Buddha's funeral, Junior slips down a set of stairs and harms his back, which makes Dickie burst out laughing. Junior fears that this act will endanger his reputation within the family, and having had enough of Dickie's prestige over his, hires a gunman to murder Dickie as he is coming back home. No one finds out about this, and Dickie’s death is pinned on a corrupt cop.
Pre-The Sopranos
Johnny’s son Tony eventually joins a gang composed of himself, DiMeo soldier Silvio Dante and childhood friends Ralph Cifaretto and Jackie Aprile. They ran drugs and partook in other mindless criminal activities, until one night, Jackie planned to rob DiMeo capo Feech La Manna's card game as a way to step up. Tony and Jackie, along with Silvio's help, robbed it, getting away with close to $20,000, and thanks to Johnny's connections, they got away scot-free after negotiating on a deal. Tony and Jackie rose through the ranks quickly as a result of this, with Tony "making his bones" by killing bookmaker Willie Overall in 1982 with the supervision of Paulie Gualtieri, and being made. One major blow to the crew was when Aprile crew soldier Febby Petrulio turned state's evidence around 1986, with his testimony putting many people behind bars. That same year, Johnny became ill with emphysema, and his condition worsened until he died as a result of the sickness, leaving his crew without a capo. With the support of his friends Paulie, Pussy and Silvio, Tony was made captain of his father's crew at a young age, and he was a charismatic and respected leader. Around ten years later, the longtime boss of the family, Ercole "Eckley" DiMeo was arrested in 1995 and sentenced to life in prison in Springfield Federal Penitentiary, with Tony's friend and fellow captain Jackie Aprile taking over his role as acting boss. Not long after this, around Christmas of that same year, Jackie and Junior had a conflict over the contents of one of Jackie's trucks which Junior's men stole. Pussy Bonpensiero was supposed to serve as a mediator and brokered a sitdown between the two shortly after his return from vacationing in Boca Raton, Florida, but the day of the meeting, he was nowhere to be found. He later showed up at Satriale's with the excuse of having to attend to her goomah after her mother suffered a stroke. Unbeknownst to them at the time, however, was that Pussy had actually been arrested by the FBI on accounts of his heroin trafficking, and given the opportunity of cooperating with them over spending up to 25 years in prison, he chose to become an informant. Pussy even wore a wire to that year's Christmas celebration at the pork store, when he was dressed up in a Santa costume. They noticed he was acting more irritated than usual, but didn't suspect anything about it. In 1998, Jackie was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and was frequently in and out of the hospital until he died that year.
