After Lino´s death, I believe the two crews (Lino´s and Pete Gotti´s) merged but was split again a short time after when Corozzo (a Peter Gotti crew member) was given his own crew.


You sure about that? I seem to recall (and this is what Pogo said as well) that Angelo Ruggiero took over as captain after Gotti became boss. He was then demoted in 1988. Gene Gotti then was captain from 1988 to 1989, thereafter being imprisoned on the heroin charges. And that's when Peter Gotti became captain.




I´m kinda sure, Ivy. But Pogo may be right. Either way, the old Fatico/Gotti crew stopped to exist in around 1986 or later when Lino broke off.
