LCNBios' article about Connecticut 'ndrangheta member Cosmo Sandalo (who appears to have been later inducted into the Gambino family) says he was from Oppido Mamertina, Calabria and was in close contact with 'ndrangheta figures in Toronto and Montreal.
I was re-reading that article and it dawned on me that the Luppinos are from Oppido Mamertina as well. Highly likely that the Luppino-Violis were among Sandalo's Canadian friends. Interesting, too, that like the Luppino-Violis he was made into a US family.
Sandalo's nephew was the Gambino CT leader Tony Megale, who is now dead. A CI described Canadians figures coming to a Sandalo relative's wedding in Connecticut in 1970, so Megale appears to have had opportunities to meet some of the Canadians. I wonder if he maintained ties there.
Is being transferred the same as being made? So Cosmo was made in Italy, and transferred to Gambinos.
No. He was a Ndrangheta member. So if he did become a Gambino member, he would have to be made. You cant transfer from Ndrangheta to LCN. Only one LCN Family to another.
