I'm not sure it's correct about Cirillo giving the OK on his son. There are a few stories out there and I'd wager that people 'want' it to be true because it sounds so Hollywood: "Senior Mob figure gets son killed on Mothers Day'.

Others will know much more than I, and I don't want to turn this into another did he/didn't he give the order, but please don't take it as gospel as I don't think it's true.
