It is fairly unprecedented, is it not, for a boss to be ousted whilst imprisoned?
Gotti, Gigante, Persico, Rastelli, Corallo.... all maintained power while behind bars; why is it any different with Amuso?
Nobody questioning Crea being the big shot on the streets of course.
Corallo Scarfo Stanfa All lost power
It depends on how many supporters the guy has on the streets when he goes away and if he still wants to hold onto power. Rastelli had power because he had supporters and wasn't sentenced to life. Corallo gave up power. Gigante and Persico were able to hold on because they had a huge number of supporters on the streets. Same with John Gotti. Peter Gotti has no supporters so he lost all power. Same with Scarfo and Stanfa. The question here is how many supporters Amuso has on the streets?
I meant when Tramunti was filling in for Corallo when he was in prison. I know Corallo gave up power voluntarily when he went away for life.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
