I’ve been meaning to post this for a while but forgot about Anthony Tortorello’s name until today…
He was a captain in the Lucchese’s and was able to get a “pass” for insulting Vincent Gigante…by saying he was a drug dealer and profiting from drugs.
Gigante heard of this and ordered Tortorello to be killed but Anthony Casso saved him….
Casso is a ruthless guy; Him saving Tortorello is kind of “out of the ordinary” How was he able to do this??
My question is; Why did Casso save him??? Tortorello insulted a boss of another family and pretty much called Gigante a drug dealer.
Why was Torterello saved?? Was he close with Casso and did they have business dealings???
Would love to know!
