Jacky - I haven't heard Massino say that 'Emanuele' was his nickname. Everything article about him has 'Emanuele Ragusa'. I believe he was involved in killing Philip Giaccone, Dominick Trinchera and Alphonse Indelicato because he was involved in New York drug deals most famously with the Bonanno crime family. He could of asked Vito to use his Bonanno connection but I doubt the Bonanno family would allow this. Emanuele Ragusa would of had to prove himself loyal to the Bonanno family to get involved in THEIR drug sales. < http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/aftermath-of-a-hit-the-murder
