Article in Gangland today about a Gambino capo in the Sicilian faction who's been arrested for assaulting the owners of a restaurant. What caught my eye was at the end the article it says that Joseph Lanni (the arrested capo) had told Frank Cali's widow they should sell their house because she's struggling to make ends meet since the father's death. She is Pete Inzerillo's sister a made guy very close to the hierarchy of the family, if not in the hierarchy himself now. Seems highly unlikely to me that the Family would cast that family off like that which is what the article implies...I know many rats complain about their Family not supporting them when they get arrested and I'm sure it happens often but this one seems unlikely to me. But maybe I'm the ignorant one...
C'mon many mobster had drinking problems. To be a mobster wasnt easy despite Hollywood movies.
Even Joey Merlino father that was the family underboss was demoted because was drunk and caused a war with the Pagans.
