Italians and Latino's have been doing business together for nearly a century. Italians and Mexican have been doing business with each other since the time of prohibition.

The Story on Marino is true, not only did the Nuestra Family told Salvatore to back off, but the consigliere at the time Guttadauro advised Sal to back off the arrangement. Most of the membership in the family at the time were getting old and had enough money to last them.

When Marino was housed in SQ, he was also paying protection to La Eme. Majority of Italians paid protection to other groups unless the mobster could take care of himself or there was a big group of LCN from different families house in the same prison.
