'Last Don Standing' dives into Philly mob hit man Ralph Natale's view of his boss' execution from prison

Philadelphia mob hit man/union fixer Ralph Natale reported directly to the family boss, Angelo Bruno — until Natale landed behind bars on arson and drug charges.

In this excerpt from “Last Don Standing: The Secret Life of Mob Boss Ralph Natale,” Bruno’s right-hand man Natale recounts learning about the execution while locked inside a Florida jail.

I remember reading , George freselone saying if Anthony caponigro wanted somebody dead , believe you me he did himself

He said it in his book "Blood Oath". Still I don't think a consigliere nonetheless would handle something like a murder by himself. Knowing Caponigro, it's certainly possible, but I still think someone else did the actual shooting, like Salerno or someone.
