interesting. I never heard that about those deaths. How did you learn about that? Is it in a book? Do you know much about Yogi Merlino? I was curious about him. Standard Google search reveals nothing.
Nicky..mostly from reading news articles about the case over the years.
Heres one article when Yogi and Ligambi were charged.

"Philadelphia mobster-turned-informant Lawrence "Yogi" Merlino, who was at one point a suspect in the Matteo Sollena slaying, has told federal investigators that Giuseppe Gambino apologized to him for that mix-up. Merlino, who began cooperating with authorities shortly after his 1988 conviction on federal racketeering charges, said Giuseppe Gambino told him he had killed Matteo and one of his associates had killed Salvatore Sollena. The Sollenas were killed, Merlino said he was told by Gambino, because they were ''robbing money from the Gambinos and losing it all gambling at the casinos in Atlantic City."
