She probably took part in the decisions her brother made, but I don't know if she could participate in Mafia meetings.



Yea , but the article specifically states she was a "made member". Taking part in decisions doesn't exactly make her "made" in the logical sense. But it seems she was convicted mostly because they proved she was "made". I'd just like to know what literal evidence they had to come to that conclusion. Making decisions for her brother whose on the run, wouldn't exactly be enough to call her a "made member", at least in my opinion. It may be possible that they had word either through informants or the evidence which showed she actually took part in a making ceremony and acted in collusion with other bosses on the Island.
