I think he was around a bit and known as Gaggi's nephew, so maybe Gaggi never had to put him on record as being with him, he was with Gaggi by default. I do not think he was as close to anyone as he claims, his stories did change over the years. He was defiantly a heroin junkie, I don't see how Gaggi or anyone else could have trusted him as much as he claims. Considering he ratted and testified, they would have been accurate.
