This is the first I've heard of this, what's the story?
This comes from Chins recap of the Caprio testimony, its on Page 4 of the Testimony thread in the FBI files. Chin, I appreciate the recap you did, I often go back to that to look for information. And Also thanks to everyone else who does recaps. I know B has done a few very good ones as well. Its pain steaking to read through some of those FBI documents, so again thanks.
The plot to kill Ligambi:
- When Merlino was jailed, Ligambi became acting boss
- Mazzone became underboss and Borgesi the consigliere
- Caprio went down and Mazzone introduced the new administration
- Ligambi wanted to know what Caprio was doing
- Ligambi wanted Caprio to set up a meet with the Genovese and Gambino families
- From 1999 to 2000, Caprio met with Ligambi and Borgesi about once a month to discuss business
- Caprio was very angry when Natale flipped
- The Genovese family felt very bad about it too
- Natale sent a message to Caprio through D’Ambrosia
- Natale told Caprio he loved him, and he should cooperate too
- In January 2000, D’Ambrosia and Vito Alberti wanted to go into business with slot machines in Philadelphia, NJ, and NY
- The Genovese family gave the green light
- Philadelphia wanted an end from D’Ambrosia
- The Genovese family refused to recognise the new administration and did not want to give them a cut
- The Gambino and Lucchese families were also refusing to recognise the administration
- Caprio warned the Genovese family that Philadelphia would kill D’Ambrosia if they did not get a cut
- It was decided to kill the administration
- Caprio’s relationship with Ligambi, Mazzone, and Borgesi was good, but they had to die because they were a potential threat to Alberti and D’Ambrosia
- It was decided to bury the administration to avoid heat
- Caprio sent Vincent Centorino and Raymond LePore to look for a spot to bury the bodies
- Caprio talked to Casale on tape that they would have to kill Ligambi, Mazzone, and Borgesi pretty quickly because he was afraid he would be arrested
- The murders would be set up as a fake meeting with the Genovese and Gambino families
- Alberti and Anthony Proto would be involved as representatives of the Genovese and Gambino families
- Caprio and D’Ambrosia would be the shooters
- The murder was going to take place at a construction site or warehouse[quote=aray22 post_id=284753 time=1728103416 user_id=7334]
