Hello Giacomo, Which Mineo are you referencing when you say that Joe Colombo had Mineo killed? Because Salvatore (Charlie Lemons) Mineo was never killed. In fact after Colombo was shot and paralyzed at the Italian-American Unity Day Rally in 1971, Charlie Mineo (as the consigliere) stepped up and helped hold the Family together to avoid chaos until an interim leadership could be established?
