Is there any factual evidence to back the theory of Luciano and whoever else involved setting up Vito Genovese on the narcotics charge in 1959?
Was Genovese involved and they dropped a dime on him or was he not involved and they set him up to take the fall?
It's hard to imagine he wasn't involved in narcotics but the whole idea of the boss Genovese meeting with Nelson Cantoloups or whatever is name was who was an unmade low level street guy seemed far fetched too.
That was some serious snitching to have bosses snitch/set up another boss.
No one has ever shown any evidence of him setting Genovese up, but the story was put out by law enforcement for whatever reasons they leak those types of stories to cooperating reporters.
