felice, do you have any updated information on the status of Roberto Settineri? You've mentioned previously he was one of Cali's high-level Sicilian mafia associates. Settineri represented the Gambino's in a sitdown with the Colombos in Florida and Settineri operated under the protection of
Gambino captain Gaetano Napoli.
He's an interesting figure to me because he was one of the few Sicilian associates we know about who was operating in the US recently. Curious to know if he's been made in Sicily and if he is still considered a high-level target by Italian/US authorities.
He was indicted as a soldier, wonder if he is a zip
You're right he was indicted as a soldier, my bad. If by zip you mean a member of the 18th avenue crew, then no. Looking at the great Gambino Sicilian Faction General Discussion thread from a few years ago, B mentions "Felice also said Napoli was in the crew of Dominick Pizzonia and then Louis Mastrangelo, which is interesting. Was he placed in that crew to keep an eye on him or was there some other reason Napoli ended up with that group?"

I know next to nothing about the Gambinos but I am almost 100% sure that I read somewhere, I think Gang Land, that various members from other crews were placed under Mastrangelo because Mastrangelo was a brokester who couldn’t earn for himself.
Don't remember seeing that gangland. Was it recent
Not various members of his crew, but at least one member was placed with Mastrangelo for financial reasons, it appears. Don't know if this applies to Gaetano Napoli.
Gang Land from August 25, 2011:
In court papers, prosecutors wrote that shortly after Frogiero, 44, was “made,” Howard Santos, a longtime JoJo Corozzo associate who was cooperating with the FBI, learned that attorney Corozzo had told Vinny Carwash that he “would be placed in the crew of co-defendant Louis Mastrangelo rather than the crew of co-defendant Alphonse Trucchio.”
Since their indictment on Mafia Takedown Day in January, Trucchio, 34, Mastrangelo, 67, Corozzo, 69, and Vinny Carwash, whose family also owns an Italian restaurant and an Italian ices and ice cream store, have all been detained as dangers to the community as they await trial.
In a tape-recorded July 1, 2009 conversation, Trucchio crew member Tony DiMartino told Santos that Trucchio had wanted Frogiero, “a big moneymaker” to be part of his crew, and had “sent a message” to Corozzo imploring him to “keep (Frogiero) with me,” wrote prosecutors Elie Honig, John Zach and Daniel Chung.
Vincenzo FrogieroIn the end, DiMartino said, the mobster “did the right thing” by placing him with the aging capo because Mastrangelo was strapped for cash. “He’s a fucking brokester,” said DiMartino.
