Gab Mannarino is also labelled by the informant as "capo squadrone", meaning he also had a higher stature than the caporegimes and decina, among others like Ripepi and Regino. The informant also uses the word "position" which means it was probably official within Pittsburgh's hierarchy.
No it doesnt mean it was official. You are extremely knowledgeable, but jumping to such conclusions based on one informant is ridiculous. Unless we have a member source saying it, we wont have confirmation.
