@ Dooley36, it was actually the Bonanno, Buffalo, and Detroit families that help set up the Sicilians to come over to the United States and move the drugs around.

Carmine Galante is credited with bringing over the Zips, but it was actually two soldiers in his crew in the 50's that help set that up. Giuseppe Buccellato who would transfer to the D'Angelo crew in the 1960's and Michaelangelo Vitale who may have been a capo of a crew that broke away from the Consolo crew (Galante crew) in 65'. Buccellato and Vitale hated each other and Vitale was in Sicily making sure the drug supply was flowing smoothly as well as bringing over more Sicilians for the Bonanno faction, before he was murdered in 67' by the Buccellato clan.
