“Bruno” Indelicato, 78, received a bump-up to consigliere by Mancuso in 2024 as part of an organizational revamp in the Bonannos engineered to stabilize a shaky ship stemming from remaining fallout from a failed Brooklyn-faction insurgence in the late 2010s that shook the family to the core, sources allege. The move to reshuffle the deck by Mancuso and let bygones be bygones has paid quick dividends, solidifying the Bonannos’ rank-and-file and earning Mancuso kudos from fellow NYC dons, per multiple sources on both sides of the law. Three of these sources report that in recent weeks, Indelicato has relayed message to Mancuso to “pump the breaks” in his rush to bring Guzzo, Jr. into an already fragile mix in the Bonannos and take some added time to “let the situation breathe.”
It’s unclear how Mikey Nose responded to the advice, but Indelicato was sure to promise to respect any decision Mancuso makes in relation to Guzzo, Jr. and added that he wouldn’t try to block Guzzo Jr.’s potential transfer into the Mancuso regime if that’s what Mancuso deemed best for the Bonanno family as a whole. Originally from Little Italy, the incredibly-connected, now more-level headed Indelicato reportedly holds territory in all the boroughs of NYC these days and is residing in a number of different properties split between Queens, Manhattan, Westchester County and Long Island. He’s spending an increasingly amount of time in Guzzo, Jr.’s old Middle Village stomping grounds, according to sources. Mancuso and Indelicato each held reputations as cowboys in their respective mob youths, both boasting two murder convictions apiece and legacy-caliber street lore surrounding their names dating back to the 1970s.
Guzzo’s Jr.’s older brother, Anthony, also a convicted murderer with heavy prison time under his belt, has a button from the Lucchese mob. The Luccheses and the Gambinos have expressed interest in securing Guzzo, Jr.’s services, too, if his made status is back on the table and the Colombos are willing to part ways with him, according to sources. Wherever he lands, even if its back with the Colombos, the consensus among NYC mob shot callers seems to be that Guzzo, Jr. will have to go through another making ceremony on the outside. Talk in the Bonannos and Luccheses right now is that Guzzo, Jr. would be remade and then immediately promoted to a capo position.
