Was he close with a lot of Camorra men? I know we hear about him being friends with Sicilian mafiosi but never really the Camorra. At that time the Camorra was not a powerhouse however.


Vito's nephew a Camorra boss was killed in 1981.

Was he a casualty of the NCO and NF war? Never knew Vito had a nephew who was a boss


Yes.

Lucky Luciano and Vito Genovese, in the '50s, entered into business with some pharmaceutical companies in the North for the illegal importation of drugs and the Italian-American boss became the link between Naples and the great trafficking of drugs and cigarettes with the American mafia. Also helping the Neapolitan Camorra to enter the great international traffic, overcoming its local dimension.
