If you´re talking about the Genovese drug conviction, I don´t think there was a frame up. Of course, I can´t say for sure but Mafia bosses turning on other Mafia bosses (giving them up to police) in order to get rid of them sounds unbelievable to me. However, Nelson Cantellops´ testimony against Genovese may have been all lies, spurred by the prosecution side.
