June 20, 1991, a five-man hit team led by acting consigliere Carmine Sessa and John Pate and Hank Smurra (all men
controlled by Greg Scarpa) converged on Orena's home on Long Island planning to assassinate him. The plan failed
because Orena arrived home prematurely before the killers were ready. After the attempt on his life, he reached out
to the other families, asking the Mafia Commission's to legitimize his position, while Sessa appealed to the
Commission on behalf of Persico, portraying Orena as an upstart who was betraying his longtime boss, Orena already
had a strong reputation as an honorable man with the other crime families. The group acted without approval of
Carmine Persico, but Carmine Sessa and John Pate (said they did it to protect their lives from Orena. They claimed
they could not tell Theodore Persico, brother of Carmine for fear he would go to Orena. The general opinion was
that the attempted hit made made without approval from Carmine Persico because of Orena's strong stance against
narcotics,while Gregory Scarpa, John Pate and Carmine Sessa were involved in the sales of narcotics.Gregory "Greg
the Grim Reaper" Scarpa, Carmine Sessa and John Pate all became cooperators as informants for the F.B.I.

40 members of the persico faction was arrested,same thing happened to many members of orena faction,It was during
the "Colombo trials", that Greg Scarpa would be recognized as an informer and testify against dozens of members of
the Colombo crime family, including Vic Orena himself. In 4 federal cases there were acquittals including Victor
Orena's sons, William "Wild Bill"Cutolo and Alphonse" Allie Boy" Persico when revelations by several F.B.I. agents
exposed a 30-year relationship with the F.B.I. and interference to keep the murderous Scarpa on the street.
Addresses of murder targets were provided by agents and Scarpa was notified of informers in his vicinity. Carmine
Sessa testified that he saw agents visiting Scarpa in the hospital and was present when his wife said his "Friend"
a name for his F.B.I. handler, called and said that" he would not have to fear jail" for a crime he committed.This
fact did not stop Sessa from joining forces and remaining a follower of Scarpa.
In late 1992, Orena's most powerful caporegime, Pasquale "Patty" Amato, was arrested along with the remaining Orena
faction. Later, the imprisoned Carmine Persico and the remaining Persico faction claimed the victory of the Colombo
War.
It soon rumored around the country that the Commission had played both sides during the Colombo War, not responding
to the questions asked by both Persico and Orena, of who would continue as the Boss of the Colombo crime family, in
an attempt to completely destroy the much wounded crime family by letting them fight each other.
