Moreno Gallo didn't "accept being deported," regardless of whether you mean he could have said no to deportation or whether you mean he was happy to go to Italy. Once he was in Italy, he asked his lawyer fairly immediately to try to get him back to Canada.
He has also said through his lawyer that he wanted to live in Europe rather than face assassination. So it depends on which statement you prefer. Don't you think it's kind of strange that he suddenly wanted to go to Italy out of his free will after years of fighting his deportation? Shortly before leaving, police informed him that there was a contract on his head.
Arcuri Sr. earlier exhibited neutrality in the lingering feud between Nick Sr. and Violi, but ultimately Arcuri Sr. seemed to have sided with his fellow paesani from Cattolica Eraclea.
Just like others such as Gallo, Cotroni and Di Maulo, Arcuri felt the wind changing and the best thing to do back then was to go along. Maybe it was not Paolo Violi's death that might have upset Arcuri Sr., but rather the death of his mentor Pietro Sciara. Arcuri was said to have been his right-hand man.
