This article in Italian:

even says that Gaetano Badalamenti had that man whacked by Salvatore Zaza, as late revenge for the insult against Luciano, according to Antonino Calderone, who doesn't specify a name though.

The versions of the event seem to be countless...


I don't believe Calderone really know what happened he may have heard some rumors Simonetti was maybe present as was Nappi but they were bosses themselves in 1950 a low level guy like Pirozzi seems more likely on orders of his boss Maisto.
