Who was behind that hit? I always thought Carlo Gambino, but I was watching a doc on the Genovese family which stated it was Vito Genovese. According to the doc he took out both Scalise and Anastasia. I always thought Anastasia took out Scalise and in turn Carlo engineered Anastasia's demise for the transgression (and probably because he was trigger happy and unpredictable). Is it possible Genovese was that crafty to set Albert up for the murder of Scalise or is that doc's info wrong?
I believe it was a joint effort by multiple bosses who wanted to keep the peace. Anastasia wanted to revenge the Costello shooting but the bosses sided with Genovese who had more pull with the Commission. He was extremely close with Lucchese, a boss who does not nearly enough recieve the credit he should for much of the conniving that was going on around that time.
The planning and execiution fell on the Riccobono/Biondo/Armone crew although some Genovese people also were involved.
