I doubt anyone would have seen it coming from Carlo
Also as Tom said "Things are starting to loosen up a little bit" perhaps lulling everyone into a false sense of security
Besides Sonny was charging out like an enraged bull.... I doubt even Luca could have stopped him

Thanks also for clarifying “Tessio under wraps”

They knew as they were chiseling his territories

in the film: Vito saw Sollozzo because he heard that he's a serious man, to be treated with respect. But uh, I must say "no" to you --

from Vito's vs Michael's caporegime Thread
Carlo thinks he can lure Sonny to his murder and somehow end up as Michael's right hand man in Nevada
