Pete Savino

[Browniety86]

Was there a reason why Peter Savino was never made? Huge earner for the Genovese and point man in one of the biggest, most profitable rackets in Mafia history. Why didnt he ever get his stripes?

He was a rat from the mid 80s, Chin was warned

Would things change if Chin trusted Casso’s advice & decided to whack him?

Well if Pete was dead he certainly would have had trouble making it to court to testify against Chin and it would have spared Chin all that embarrassment.

Easily Chin's biggest fuck up as Boss.

I agree that’s his biggest mistake during his tenure.

Also got benny's eggs 14yrs and of course got vic amuso and casso indicted which started a huge downfall then al darco

[Pmac2]

If they killed him in 88 stuff would have played out alot different

[Pmac2]

The mafia cop lou eppolitto had the good ons savino I'm surprised amuso and casso didnt hit him anyway. Chin must have had power

[Browniety86]

Savino died shortly after testifying against Gigante. He could barely testify as it was.

Makes me wonder if the govt would have kept their plea with gas if Savino never flipped. Maybe Sammy and everything else was enough?

Amuso and Casso were never hitting Savino without Chin's permission. Remember the story at a Genovese wake, chin told Amuso that he would be lucky to walk out alive. They knew what he was capable of.

At the 1986 wake for a Genovese soldier, Gigante pulled "Little Vic" Amuso aside to discuss the Lucchese family's encroachment on the Genovese family's then-lucrative window-replacement business. According to sources, Gigante told Amuso he would be "lucky to leave this wake alive." Amuso, a stone killer in his own right, left trembling. "The Luccheses backed off after that," a source said.

Was Savino heavily involved in hitting the people the Feds found buried in his warehouse or did the Genovese hit them and just use that locale to bury them?

[Benandjosh]

What was the back story with Savino. Who was he around. Whats the story of the bodies in his warehouse
