Not sure on the Galante angle, it was Sidney Leiberman a garment center old timer who pushed the Lucchese's to move on his brother Mike, that he wasnt sharing profits and keeping his activities to himself. Sounds like someone had done the same with with Andimo
the younger Pappadio brother's hit as described in Al D'Arco's book was very gruesome. if both claims were true...the Pappadios were hit approx. 15 years apart from one another for both holding back garment district profits, than it goes to show how greedy these guys are and how they cant help themselves. your brother gets clipped for ostensibly holding back profits, then you find yourself inheriting some of his shops and continue to do the same thing? LOL
i dont know much stock I put into the reasoning for the younger Pappadio's hit only because it could have been a typical Vic & Gas money grab. they could have flipped the issue of Pappadio not keeping organized records into him stealing.
there was a 3rd made Pappadio brother i think?? but I forget his name. wonder what happened to him and how long of a leash he was put on after both of his brothers were killed
Thanks RB and newera, I think the other brother you are thinking of was Fred, I think there were 6-7 brothers all together, though not all involved in the life. I'm still digging around trying to find more on how Galante was involved if he was at all. I have read Pappadio was also overseeing their narcotics trade at one time so I'm thinking that might be the connection.
With regards to his drug connections, interestingly enough the initial photo you put up of Andimo is from the book "the heroin trail". It does not go into heavy mob detail but with regards to him it writes: " Pappadio, 58, is a captain in the Tramunti family who in 1958 was arrested in connection with a heroin conspiracy that led to the imprisonment of Vito Genovese. His only conviction for sale of heroin was later revoked by a pardon (1930 something). Federal officials believe he is active as an arranger-financier there."
The book is written by writers at Newsday, who also reported that at the time of his death he was considered to be an "acting boss". In 1975 an FBI report listed him as either "underboss or "retired underboss". So given his stature in the family, his closeness to Tommy Lucchese and at some point (allegedly) receiving a presidential pardon, safe to say he was held in high regard.
