I'm assuming this was before he came back and said Pete Gotti is actually still boss
What was the whole point of Capeci sayin in 2011 that pete stepped down?
I don't know for sure but his sources made it sound like that particular change in leadership was the official end to the Gotti era and the beginning of the Sicilian faction era. Maybe because the other acting bosses D'Amico and Squintieri were thought of as Gotti loyalists and Cefalu wasn't. But both Cefalu and Cali had ties to D'Amico.
yes it absolutely made it seem like "end of the gotti era"
he even said "despite Gurinos connections" to late boss
so i find it very odd that Peter Gotti we found out later was still boss. I just wanna know does he get envelopes?? any drama comes his way??? etc
He must’ve had some influence after his arrest. Mikey scars said pete demoted him after his arrest.
I was talking currently.
he was, i guess u can say, influential after his brother went away. He participated in Window Scam as well as other things. I think we kinda dispelled the "dumb don" myth. and some have even said Pete's reign was longer then Snrs.
for him to STILL have the title.... I think symbolically means SOMETHING ... I WISH Gene would come out and start kickin ass n take the crown. but i like Hollywood stories.... except Rizzuto did do that...
Back when Pete was on the street, he did have authority. Surveillance caught him at meetings receiving tribute, he attended the last known Commission meeting, etc. As for now, that question was already answered by Capeci. Pete, who is effectively serving a life sentence, is now simply the titular boss but doesn't have any power.
