"Todt Hill", where Cali was killed, means "Death Hill" in Dutch, incidentally.
Frank Cali shot dead

Re: Frank cali shot dead
Let me play devil's advocate here. Colombos are a different family all together. What kind if benefit do they have killing Cali?
Only beef between them in recent years was a bar fight between associates. I think Benny Geritano may have been involved in it and stabbed a Walter Samperi?

Re: Frank cali shot dead
From the article:
Speculation: I think this is about drug trafficking and some feel left out from the big $$ they bringSnip... Frank Cali was reputedly the head of the Gambino family. He was reportedly married to Rosaria Inzerillo, who was herself related to the Sicilian Inzerillo family. The Inzerilli fled Sicily for the US in the 1980s after losing a war with rival families....Snip
Snip...Dr Anna Sergi, senior lecturer in criminology at the University of Essex, agrees.
"The Five Families are far happier than they have been in the past," she tells the BBC.
They are forging international links with Mexican and Colombian drug cartels, as well as the 'Ndrangheta from Italy's Calabria region.
Cali himself was convicted only once, after his arrest as part of Operation Old Bridge - a joint action by US and Italian law enforcement to try to quash co-operation between Italian and Italian-American crime groups....Snip...
Snip...Cali was also related to John Gambino, once leader of the family's Sicilian faction - another link that might explain his rapid rise to leadership of the mob.
Dr Sergi says Italian organised crime groups are currently changing supply routes for drugs and money, and even taking control of some operations in the US.
"This switch in power could explain this murder now," she says. Snip...

Het is een verbastering van oud Nederlands Lupara .
Net als Breukelen naar Brooklyn. Ik kan wel zien hoe 'Dood Heuvel' 'Todt Hill' wordt.

Re: Frank cali shot dead
Persico seemed to have no influence on mafia activity on the streets for a while. And the coke seizure happened just three days ago, so I doubt the hit on Cali would be decided and planned in just 3 days.
Wise men listen and laugh, while fools talk.
Re: Frank cali shot dead
Neil had a lot of pull and was involved. Carmine was partially blind, wheelchair bound old man who was last on the streets 35 years ago. Most of his close associates are either dead or behind bars. I doubt his name means much in the streets in 2019. Plus the Colombos only kill each other. Don't get me wrong your theor is good as any other in this thread, but I just don't see the link.Moscone65 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:53 amCould be like how Gotti waited till after Neil died before trying anything.eboli wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:51 amI can't see how Persico dying can be linked in any way to Cali's death. Carmine was very sick for a long time. I doubt he had much input (if at all) into the family operations. The drug bust on the other hand... It's interesting all of these events happened in the week of Mancuso's release.
Re: Frank cali shot dead
Colombo’s have absolutely nothing to do with this, the death of Carmine Persico has nothing to do with this, the man was in prison from 1985, maybe it’s Sammy The Bull making a come back
Re: Frank cali shot dead
Make sure you head on over to the BB and vote in Furio's poll on who had Cali killed!

With so many darts being thrown at the wall here I'm still waiting for someone to say the order came from a pizza and wings joint in Buffalo.
All roads lead to New York.
Re: Frank cali shot dead
Ya I think it’s either internal or Italian/Canadian international related, or maybe both. Just weird about all the shit that’s happened this week don’t you think?
Re: Frank cali shot dead
Maybe with this happening we will get an update on the administration. I believe we have Peter Gotti as official boss, Cefalu as acting boss, Cali as official underboss, with consigliere unknown.Chris Christie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 7:45 am I believe back in 2015 Frank Cali was supposed to have taken over for a recently stepped down Cefalu or was it Cefalu stepped down for the golden boy Frank Cali. Then it came out that it wasn't correct and Cefalu still had the title. I haven't followed it until now, where I'm seeing him floated as boss.
I'm just as confused.
