I will point out that I've never found any testimony from Nove Tocco that he was actually an inducted member of Detroit LCN. When he testified against Jack Tocco at his resentencing he never mentioned any kind of induction ceremony and I'm sure the government would have loved it if he would have. So I honestly don't believe Nove was a "made" member. Just a relative. Which would account for why his cooperation with the government produced very few tangible results. So if he wasn't then he would join the list of non made cooperating witnesses against the Detroit mob. They've had more than a few "rats" although I don't normally use that term. But here are some Detroit mob associates who testified just off the top of my head:
Angelo Polizzi
Nick Micelli
John Pree
Charles Acker
Pete Lazaros
Pete Luca
Adam all the mob experts say that Nove Tocco was a made man even Rick Porrello. For the few proofs, this depend of the fact that Tocco was a soldier but in a very low level ie he did the dirty work and in the detroit family wasnt be a large autonomy like in the other family,and Tocco complaining that he must ask the ok for everything. If dont flip a capo never will get out a big stuff on the family inner circle.
