Costello's arch-enemy, Vito Genovese, who engineered Costello's retirement with a botched hit, was strongly behind drugs. Some accounts have it that the abortive 1957 Apalachin meeting was called, in part, by Genovese to bless drug-trafficking.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
