Most accounts say he did it to ingratiate himself with Mussolini, whose protection he needed when he fled to Italy after being indicted for murder. Carmine Galante was the triggerman.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
