Carmine Pugliese was 26 at the time of his death (July 1976) which (according to logic) seems to suggest he was too young to have been made. Newspapers at the time talked about his brothers being involved with the Lucchese Family, but I have never seen anything that points at any of them actually being made. Besides, Carmine Pugliese was considered to be an informant. If anything, Barnes did the Luccheses a favor (and it was probably sanctioned).
This barnes testimony from the presidents commission on organised crime from back in 85. this is the brief mention of the pugliese murder.
