1. How many of these guys are Italian as opposed to Italian-American? It seems from news reports that the Italians are quicker to to go on the lam than their Am. cousins.
2. Why in the world does Cosa Nostra (CN) appear in Court or wait to get pinched when they know they are going down for life or at least 10 or more years? I have never understood that.
Except for a couple the entire list toodoped put up is from italy.
They are tried and convicted in absentia in italy. All they have to do at that point is get captured and that's it.
Guys like Messina are born into their families and that's the life they have. It's nothing like here. He was looking to avenge his father's death and prevent more bloodshed, he killed a cop, he kidnapped that little boy Giuseppe Di Matteo, but it was never about the money.
It's more often than not about revenge, power and honor for their families over money.
Guys in the US won't go on the lam and live in a hole in the floor.
