Who killed Carmine Galante

[Benito]

I know of the original story that Amato & Bonventre we’re in on the hit, along with Indelicato. Who got inprisoned for it. However, I’ve read somewhere that there were “4” hitmen. Any ideas? Much appreciated

If I remember right Big Trin Trinchera and Russell Mauro were two of shooters.

I always wondered why the Zips betrayed Galante

I see, any documentation would be appreciated. I’m keen to know, as it was quite a substantial rift & change for the Bonanno

Santo Giordano was part of the Galante murder, his fingerprints were also found in the getaway car along with Bruno's.

Bruno who ?

And where did you source this from

He’s talking about Sonny Reds son Bruno Indelicato

I’ve just found an article which states that apparently the hit squad contained: Sonny Red Indelicato, Russell Mauro, Big Trinchera, Joe Massino, Phil Lucky Giacone, Santo Giordano & J.B Indelicato

Confirmation would be appreciated

Wasn't Sonny Black also involved on the hit? I swear I read he was.

Bruno Indelicato. I got it from “Last Days of the Sicilians” by Ralph Blumenthal.

Being a Rastelli loyalist, he almost definitely was involved in the hit. I believe he was spotted at the Ravenite after the hit, along with Bruno and Stevie Cannone.

Im sure they were all involved but I doubt that many capos would be part of the actual hit squad. I was just reading an article about this who were the shooters and who drove the crash cars let me see if i can find it

Massino said he knew about the hit before hand but wasn’t “involved” in it, meaning he wasn’t there..

Only Giacone was a Capo at the time. The others were promoted right afterwhen the family was reshuffled.

Ok, so far it looks like it breaks down like this:

Anthony "Bruno" Indelicato(Solider), shooter
Dominick "Big Trin" Trinchera(Solider), shooter
Russel Mauro(Solider), shooter
Santo Giordano(Solider), stood guard outside.
Cesare "The Tall Guy" Bonvente(Solider), set up and shooter
Baldassare Amato(Solider), set up and shooter.

Five shooters with two shotguns and three pistols.

The conspirators include:

Alphonse "Sonny Red" Indelicato(Solider)
Philip "Rusty" Rastelli(Boss)
Stefano "Stevie Beefs" Cannone(Consiglieri)
Phil "Lucky" Giacone(Captain)
Dominick "Sonny Black" Napolitano(Solider)
Joseph Massino(Soldier)

Along with the Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese Families. Carmine Persico apparently voted against the killing
