Youd think that gambino probly got the ok from someone like lombardo before taking out eboli, but who knows. Another theory is that gambino wanted funzi to take over as acting boss because carlo could have more control over him and used the drug deal loan to set him up as a reason to whack him.
With Lombardo as the real boss, what say would Gambino have in the next acting boss of the Genovese? I doubt the Genovese would allow any other family to influence their internal affairs. The story as told makes it seem like the Genovese were weaklings being pushed around and manipulated by the Gambinos.
With all the other major mob hits, we have a good idea of who and why. This one is still a mystery. Was it the Gambinos or Genovese who did Eboli and why?
