Notes
I believe Frank DeCicco (1935-1986x) inherited Tommy Bilotti´s crew in Dec 1985. That´s why I didn´t put him on the list above.
I know it´s a little controversial putting Nick Corozzo on the list since it´s all over internet that Corozzo was promoted to capo in the early 1990´s.
However, in Dellacroce´s indictment file of 1985, the prosecutors claim Corozzo was one of three crew leaders who answered to Dellacroce. Later on, Corozzo is listed as a member of Peter Gotti´s crew (I read this somewhere) before being promoted in the early 1990´s.
I believe it is possible that Corozzo was demoted by Gotti in 1986 but later promoted to a capo rank again.
And also, information suggests that Tommy "Breeze" DeBrizzi (?-1988x) functioned as an acting capo sometime around 1986-1987. I´m not sure he served in this capacity already in 1985.
In any case, he was demoted by Gotti and put in Tommy Gambino´s crew before being killed in 1988.


All feedback is welcome.

Did he edit the charts in any way? If not, he can keep it posted. But he must stop claims that some other guy has been making those charts. maybe i will open a facebook account.

He took the charts down. My work here is done.

I think bosses in general, and Castellano in particular, feel more comfortable of having guys their own age around them.

He took the charts down. My work here is done.

Hello people, whats up?
i was away for a while, some problems at work etc. Nothing big..

And yes, i am aware they are using the charts. Cant do something about it, some websites did ask permission.
Daily mail UK: www.dailymail.co.uk/ also asked for permission, i havent checked the website. But i wasnt aware of the facebook thing, cant get access because i dont have an account.

But is Gerlandino Messina still considered the official representative of the province in the commission even though he is in prison or is he considered demoted?

according to the rules salvatore fragapane should be still the representative of the province until his death, but being imprisoned they need an acting representative
of course its possible fragapane was demoted so falsone is still the official
gerlandino messina was the underboss capoprovincia

maybe they labeled gerlandino messina as boss because falsone was in prison at that time
