When a member from another city comes to town, is the home family obligated to take him around as hosts? I would think that is the case, unless the visitor does now want it. Maybe Fratianno used this as an opportunity. I think he was already cooperating with the feds.
In 1973, after finishing a stint in Chino prison, Fratianno began cooperating with the FBI. Initially, he gave them only information he thought was worthless or that could compromise his enemies. But as inter- and intra-family rivalries made his position more precarious, in December 1977 he made the decision to break with the Mob.
He entered the Federal Witness Protection Program,, but he was expelled after a number of years because he did not follow the rules.
Thanks @GV.
