It's an okay read but the topic I was hoping to see covered (Tranghese as Springfield's captain) is pretty much non-existent.
Thought you'd find this interesting. It's from Tranghese's sentencing memorandum.
I'm interested in whether Tranghese ever actually became the captain officially. Arillotta says that was the plan, and when he was first indicted in the Bruno case Tranghese was listed as a capo, but the sentencing memorandum only refers to him as a soldier.
If Tranghese ever did get the position he'd only have held it for a few years before being shelved.
Your previous posts about Tranghese are actually what made me pick up the book to see if there were more details about the whole situation. My personal take is that he was briefly the local captain but demoted prior to being shelved in 2006, since we hear about Pugliano being approached to take over in 2005 already.
Some interesting details from Parisi's book is that apparently both Geas brothers were involved in the construction site assault/shelving - Stephanie Barry's reporting notes that it was a "gang led by Freddy" so it could possibly be an error since Ty had been arrested the previous year and seems to still have been incarcerated at that time.
Emilio Fusco is also described as running the crew while Arillotta was locked up:
Meanwhile, Emilio Fusco assumed control over several Genovese family rackets in Springfield and, with Arillotta's approval, halted the flow of money from those rackets to the New York bosses.
He doesn't seem to have ever been identified as any sort of formal leader but it might be something to keep in mind.
