Gambino family Paul murder

Post by Mikeymike12 »

Seems like Frank DeCicco had a lot of power and sway in the family at that time , Was he just a powerful captain ? Who was in his crew? Who took over for DeCicco after the carbomb ? I When Angelo came to the bull about whacking Paul , Sammy went to DeCicco not to his own Captain....Guess Sammmy thought Toddo would of alerted Paul.Wonder if Toddo was ever told about the plan before during or afterwards.... he died a year later and Sammy took over his crew. Who took over decicco crew after his death ?

George DeCicco took over when Frank was named underboss then it later became Sonny Juliano's crew.

In Season 2 of Sammy’s podcast he goes in depth about the months leading up to killing of Paul. The conspiracy went on much longer than I thought, almost a full year. The delay is mostly due to Neil still being alive and not approving of the plot. A year is a long time for so many to keep a secret. These guys must have really wanted Paul gone. Any one of 10 guys could have approached paul with this information.

According to Sammy, many meetings are held and Frankie DeCicco plays a lead role and even scolds Gotti on a few occasions.

Neil dies in early December and Paul is killed almost immediately after.

All this from Sammy’s perspective

Yeah that part seems strange, Sammy wasn’t even a captain yet and gotti reaches out to him first before Frankie ? The part about sending quack quack to meet with Sammy I believe bc
that sounds like a Gotti move lol

I was shocked how long the conspiracy was going on for too...and Sammy describing joe watts bachelor pad was hilarious

The way it read in the book, Sammy had the relationship with DeCicco, not Gotti. Was that a lie though?
