I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find any of the threads that answer this specific question. If you know of one, please post the link.

I was wondering what captains or otherwise key soldiers/associates were Vito Genovese supporters during and after his move on Costello. Vito's faction, if you will.

Furthermore, do Bellomo and the family leadership today have roots in the Luciano/Costello faction or the Vito Genovese faction?


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
