Introduction of LCN Members: At the beginning of the meeting,
the CW introduced JG as a caporegime with the administration of
the Gambino LCN Family. LICATA then introduced LIGAMBI to
the group as the acting boss of the Philadelphia LCN Family.
LICATA introduced STAINO as a “caporegime.” The CW also
introduced FAZZINI to JG.



During the meeting, LICATA and FAZZINI discussed FAZZINI’s “making”
ceremony. LICATA explained that co-defendant DAMION CANALICHIO and four others were
made during initiation rituals conducted by the Philadelphia LCN Family, before FAZZINI was
formally inducted into the LCN. LICATA noted that FAZZINI and co-defendant ERIC
ESPOSITO were made at the same “making” ceremony. LICATA also discussed how former
boss Joseph Merlino proposed three new members to be “made” while he was incarcerated, but
LIGAMBI declined to “make” these candidates because he did not know them well enough.
According to LICATA, LIGAMBI said that Merlino can “make” these new members when he
comes home from prison.
