I personally beleieve that Galante was killed on Rastelli´s orders. But I am more than willing to change my opinion if this killing gets solved and it turns out I was wrong.
However, the US government believed that Galante was the boss at the time and that any hit on a boss must be approved by the Commission.
I guess they thought it would be easier to prove the Commission´s (and all its members) involvement than Rastelli´s
The raven nite social club did john ever kill anyone there or was that at his fish club

who was in the can at the time.


I think it may have been a combination: Rastelli wanting Galante out of the way of his Donship, and the Commission punishing Galante for not sharing his Sicilian heroin pipeline. Galante bragged that he'd make Carlo Gambino "s**t in the street." Nasty insult, but in the Mafia, you can't go wrong following the money--and his heroin pipeline generated huge money. Recall, too, that thr assassins made a beeline for the Ravenite Social Club in Manhattan, where they were congratulated by Neil Dellacroce.
