Frank Cali shot dead

[CabriniGreen]

I do find it, oddly kinda satisfying that DiLeonardo agrees with me ..... ALL EYES ON MANNINO...

Cali was a gentleman, Mannino is a killer, a heavy guy just like Gene....

I would imagine some of them lurk these forums.

How old is mannino? Any pics?

[CabriniGreen]

To my eyes, only one question matters right now...
Did Mannino and Cefalu go along with this?

[CabriniGreen]

Actually, God damn.. you read that article, it SEEMS LIKE THEY DID READ UP HERE!!! lol

Tell me I'm lying...

Looks older now. I think he was born in 1959 or 1960.

The ex-mobsters USA TODAY spoke with didn’t follow that discipline. Drawing from spare details released in early news reports and the grist of fellow chattering gangsters, they discussed the possibilities that the hit was a sanctioned killing, a “personal matter” gone wrong (like an illicit affair) or even a road rage incident completely unrelated to Cali’s organized crime status. They also said there were rumors that Cali was involved in the drug trade.

But they acknowledged that each of these motives are unsatisfying in that they clash with Cali’s reputation as a buttoned-up gangster who tried to move the crime family away from the attention-grabbing violence of its former patriarch, the elder John Gotti.

Born in 1959. He's 60 years old now.

there is no way calabrians are behind, the order came from sicily or another ny family, or it's within the gambino's

I think the same, but i would bet on Sicilians, if its internal to Gambinos,they just made a huge mess for themselves,feds will be all over, too much heat

the murder seems to be planned by sicilian zips for the modality

from that USA today article

Mouw credited the long lull in violence not to Cali but to tougher organized crime statutes with devastating sentences for those convicted of mob-related murder. Mouw also stated that though multiple news outlets have referred to Cali as the reputed boss of the family, his information is that Cali was underboss, and the top job belongs to another Gambino, Domenico Cefalu.

So that's more LE people saying Cali wasn't the boss and was underboss.

There's a more recent photo of Mannino in this thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2672

Felice's threads in general are a goldmine for Gambino info.

So...... this an internal matter between the zips?

The hit on Cali comes just six months after John Gotti’s brother Gene, 71, was released after spending 29 years in prison for dealing heroin.

It was reported that mob bosses have been 'living in fear' since his release, wondering whether the heir apparent would 'demand that he resume his role or even insist on a higher rank'.
