Catuara did move away for a while, after La Porte, Al Pilotto was the street boss for that crew, he left Catuara in charge of the strip, Catuara began to piss people off, and got into conflict with Al Tocco, who apparently was backed by the Outfit administration, including his street boss Pilotto & Tony Accardo. Angelo LaPietra were given Catuara's rackets around October of '77 according to Matthew Luzi, after Catuara was kidnapped and held hostage for a few days. For the remainder of '77 and early-mid '78, Catuara wasn't on the streets. He began to pop up again in July of '78 and was promptly dealt with.
