Re: Aniello Dellacroce roots.
No one was in the run. It was always going to be Castellano since he had been Acting Boss since 1967. The whole "Dellacroce was passed over" thing was just part of the Gotti hype story.

Re: Aniello Dellacroce roots.
Well, that's just selfish Carlo, not cool at all.
Re: Aniello Dellacroce roots.
Wasn't Tommy Gambino going to be boss if Castelano had to do time for his indictments. Of course this was before Paul got whacked.

He was going to be Acting Boss. Castellano intended to run the family from prison.

Re: Aniello Dellacroce roots.
Also wasn't there some sort of Congressional hearing in the early 70s that it came out that Dellacroce and Joe N. Gallo we're going to attempt to take over the family in the mid 60s.

Re: Aniello Dellacroce roots.
What need was there for an acting boss back then? Gambino almost never went to jail (especially not in that period, only several months here and there BEFORE becoming boss), so with the official boss free and active, what was the acting one supposed to do? I mean, in the last couple of years before dying Gambino maybe retired or semi-retired, but in 1967, wasn't it too early for that yet?Pogo The Clown wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 6:21 am No one was in the run.

I think he was already sick back then so Paul was acting for him.Dwalin2014 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 2:00 pmWhat need was there for an acting boss back then?

Re: Aniello Dellacroce roots.
I believe it was a combination of heart issues and wanting to insulate himself from LE. Remember the La Stella situation had just happened toward the end of 1966 and this was the post-Valachi, post-Apalachin era.
As far as his roots in the organization, Dellacroce was a member of Rava's crew before his murder, right? Was Dellacroce a member/associate of the Rizzo crew before that? His brother Carmine was also a member and old enough to have been made by the time of the Castellammarese war but given their heritage hard to say if he was made that early.

Re: Aniello Dellacroce roots.
Not to get off topic from Dellacroce, but, if Paul Castellano was AB by 67 or about then that means he was being groomed to be boss for a while by Carlo. IMHO, with Carlo being old school, it was blood always first, and if for some reason PC was not available it would have been some other Sicilian...I doubt Dellacroce ever would have been made official boss as long as CG had a say about it. Then again, maybe Dellacroce never wanted to be boss and was happy running his regime as number two.
Going back to 67'....who was Carlo's inner circle besides Paul that could have stepped up to boss or at least acting if Carlo dies and PC not available? I suppose Dellacroce would have kept the seat warm for PC? If I'm understanding this right, since 67' it was always going to be PC stepping into Carlo's shoes and Dellacroce was technically never passed over. Making sense why AD was towing the line so well.
Now fast forward to Paul C. he was grooming that Toupe' you'd think being brought up under his own he'd be throwing his support behind Carlo's kid., another blood relative.

Rizzo was capo before Rava? Did I understand you right? Anthony Rizzo?B. wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 4:44 pm I believe it was a combination of heart issues and wanting to insulate himself from LE.
