I don't think they want to control NYC, so much as establish a safe, secure, mid-transition point for their coke going to Europe. And Launder money, I think Italy is getting hot. The cost of doing business must be going up.

The Coreonesi took out the Palermo families not for territorial control. They took em out for control of the COMMODITY, heroin.

Inzerillo and his clan, if they cut the other families in, they never get killed by that small clan.

These guys, I don't think, are looking to set up shop on NY street corners. They would be competing with entrenched Dominicans anyway, and maybe Mexicans too, AND black gangs like the bloods, like the bust in the Bronx and Buffalo show. Can the American mob offer them an enclave like 60s era Pleaseant Avenue? Or Italian Harlem? I think They just don't trust sending huge 1-3000 kilo loads of coke across the Atalantic with so much heat on.

I really think the relationship is mutually beneficial, there is no pending war here....
