It seems that it has not been too common for the Commission to order hits.

Here are some of the cases i can think of :

- Albert Anastasia (Mangano/Gambino Family) : Carlo Gambino got the approval from the other NY bosses

- Carmine Galante (Bonnano) : Phil Rastelli got the approval from the other NY bosses

- The 3 capos (Bonnano) : killed as preemptive action with the approval of Neil Dellacroce on behalf of the Commission

- John Simone (Philadelphia) : The Commission ordered the Gambino family to do the hit

- Gus Farace : the Commission ordered his murder after he brought a lot of heat on the NY mob for killing a DEA agent

- The Uva couples : their murder was sanctioned because they robbed several Mafia clubs in NY.


Can you think of others ?

Albert Anastasia's murder wasn't Commission sanctioned. Joe Bonanno didn't even know it was happening and the evidence points to Gambino not being involved in the plot.

john Bazzano. Don't know why it happened though.

What about Hoffa...was his murder sanctioned by the Giacalones or did Provenzano have it sanctioned from NY

What about Antonio Caponigro; Murdered at a commission meeting due to ordering the death of Angelo Bruno; Wouldn’t this have been sanctioned at the meeting or already had been set-up.

Joe Magliocco; Not murdered but wasn’t he forced to step down as the Profaci family boss (Commission boss??)

I don’t think the Carmine Galante was commission backed; Wasn’t it a in house cleaning by Rastelli?? He was boss so he really didn’t have to go to commission.

According to Gregory Scarpa, Persico and Gambino boss John Gotti backed a plan to kill the lead prosecutor, and future New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani in late 1986, but it was rejected by the rest of the Commission.

One of the biggest Commission-ordered hits was Dutch Shultz.

Farcela was killed because caused too much heat on Bonannos same thing for the Uvas,they angered the Gambinos.
