To a point.

Dellacroce COULD NOT have saved Gotti upon release of the Ruggerio tapes though.

Dellacoce ran his side to a point only. Paul was the boss and a disregard of the rules to such an end was well beyond Dellacroce's influence to save him.


Yeah. Badmouthing the boss certainly warrants some kind of punishment. Catellano was the boss and no matter what faction a violator belonged to, downgrading, disrespecting and humiliating the boss is always a big no-no. My point is though that under normal circumstances, if a Mafia Family is in harmony and not divided the way it was under Castellano and Dellacroce, Angelo Ruggiero would have been gone way before Castellano was hit.
