anthony federici what do we know???
-alleged to be consigliere at time of death...when roughly did he take the position??
-was a queens based capo for a long time. i guess when he no longer was capo as there are a few articles saying as much who took over as capo??
-was it victor colletti or anthony romanello??
-or neither?
-is it possible that the genovese and bellomo use a few different old timers as consigliere?
-over the years it has been dom cirillo,mario gigante,lawrence dentico,anthony federici who have been mentioned. maybe at some point all of them acted as senior advisors to younger admin members. or maybe none of them and the genovese don't use a consigliere position.
thoughts and answers?
If we believe the Ciro Perrone tapes, Federici wanted to be involved as little as necessary, If that was truly the case, he could not have been in a top position involving heavy activity. A consigliere is a busy position, maybe he handled a few members as a semi-active captain. He seemed to have spent up to 70 hours a week in that restaurant, that leaves little time for mafia activity. The feds saying he was consigliere may have been a wrong guess on their part, or a way to stir up talk in hope of finding out who was really in the spot.
