Who did the Gambino’s think was behind it

[Mikeymike12]

I’m surprised Sammy or anyone else for that matter drive into who they thought was behind the Frank DeCicco at first we know they weren’t sure if it was someone in the family upset about Paul ...but a couple years later and acouple other big guys close to Gotti and hierarchy Were hit. I think they thought it was west side But never made any kind of move at all physical or financial kind of. Shocking . Then the Bobby B hit a year or 2 later it come out its was the lucchese that hit him outside his house.... and yet again Nothing done. They had alll the facts on the Bobby shooting and nothing in return. It’s shocking Especially how well liked Bobby was with the administration and with all the guys. ( everyone talks highly about Bobby).

Originally when Boriello was hit the Gambino's were positive it was Preston Geritano. There was a sit down with John Jr and Jimmy Brown and someone else with Barney B and some Genoveses. They said they'd kill Geritano, which they didn't. Obviously it turned out it wasn't him.

[Little_Al1991]

By the time they found out the truth must have been when Al D’Arco flipped in 1991 and even more so when Gaspipe flipped in 1994.
I think they didn’t retaliate because by the time they found out, they knew that these hits had the backing of Vic Amuso and Chin Gigante meaning the Gambino’s would have 2 families to deal with and then there’s also the fact that maybe the Gambino administration just accepted what happened because they broke a crucial rule in that life by killing Paul
Either way, going against the Lucchese and Genovese Family is something the Gambino’s just couldn’t do

Could the Gambinos at tht time have had a consiglio running the family? Cali, Mannino, Gambino, Cefalu all effectively running the family as a group?

Little al flips in September 91 Sammy the bull like a month later. Once Sammy flips the family is in panic mode they can't be worried about who killed those guys 5yrs earlier or even lino and Bobby b 1 year earlier.

You nailed it as usually pmac. The Gambinos had bigger problems and when Sammy flipped they were all running. No time to worry about the past when there were bigger problems to deal with.

Valid point

[Pmac2]

Sammy destroyed that family more then any turncoat till Vitale and the massino ship sank. I guess carmine sessa fucked his family up to. Little AL only got vic amuso everyone plead guilty wisely

[Ryan98366]

Gambino's were laying low and had bigger fish to fry than investigating murders from the past!

In '91? Cali wasn't even made til the late 90s, Mannino and John Gambino were in prison or at least indicted by then and Cefalu was only made in '90...

Haha if someone finds solid evidence of a Family consiglio in NYC at all let alone in the 2000s I'll send you a gift card to Olive Garden.

Nothing to suggest ruling panels in the modern era were considered the same as a consiglio though functionally they may be similar.

I'm really glad people have read what we've said about the consiglio though and recognize it existed since it's been overlooked by all non-Black Hand researchers

I don't know what a consiglio is. Sad face!

Agree. Can people please come here to learn not pontificate.

Nothing wrong w/ speculating, just want to take responsibility for pushing the consiglio idea and make it clear it probably didn't exist past a certain point.
