I was wondering; Why did Frank Costello want Willie Moretti as underboss??!
Moretti was from NJ and had a large crew situated there….
Wouldn’t it have been a better option if Costello had a NY underboss who had a crew? This may have kept Genovese away for quite a bit longer….
Why would Costello have a NJ underboss??? Was it nepotism because Willie Moretti was his cousin??
Would love opinions!!
Not sure how accurate it is but Valachi said Costello and Moretti both grew up on 108th Street in Harlem
