Not exactly sure when he was made. He was promoted to capo after Natale/Merlino had him kill Sodano in 96 because Sodano was ignoring their requests for meetings. Sodano was maybe the biggest earner that the NNJ crew ever had. Casale was a child molester who nobody respected but Caprio was close to him and used him often. He was responsible for the actual hit on Sodano. Supposedly Natale asked Caprio after the hit if Casale was ready to be made and Caprio said no.
