Iread on the Sixth Family book that Licata was murdered beacause was an old time gangster,and don't want that that his men sell drug,and for this was whacked.
Claire Sterling wrote the same thing in her book on the Sicilian mafia. Licata was trying to keep the babania off knickerbocker in brooklyn and the zips whacked him
Claire Sterling was a sensationalist who tended to exaggerate and jump to conclusions. Can't take all of her statements at face value.
BTW, agreed that Hairy did a great job.
