All these big mafia drug guys look the same to me. Very autonomous, very powerful, always connected to multiple families on both sides of the Atlantic.
Yep, just like John Dickie said, those Trans-Atlantic DTO's/Blood families emerging in the early 70's were in a lot of ways bypassing the traditional Cosa Nostra power structure, both in the States as in Sicily. Clans like Inzerillo/Spatola/DiMaggio/Gambino and Rizzuto/Cunrera-Caruana are like royal houses. I know there are rules in Sicily that no more than 2 blood family members can be in a certain Cosca, but I bet they find ways to circumvent those rules.
