Im just reading about Anthony "Bruno" Indelicato and his 2001 murder conviction and its making me wonder why capos commit murders and risk getting life in prison despite the seniority. I always thought that one of the biggest purpose of being a capo is to insulate yourself from the dirty work?

Although it seems pretty textbook, I always assumed it was the capo giving the order and the soldier or associate who commits the murder.

Im relatively new to the mob scene so any posts would be helpful.
