Rusty Rastelli was the nominal boss of the Bonannos. Galante got out of prison at about the same time that Rastelli went in for extortion. That was an internal struggle that was not a concern of the Commission. Galante angered the Commission in two ways: First, he openly bragged that he would make Carlo Gambino "sh*t in the street, and after Gambino's death, openly declared that he would become the new "boss of bosses." Second, he created a monopoly on importing heroin to the US from Sicily and refused to let the other borgatas share in it.


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.
