Angelo Caruso was the actual underboss of Salvatore Maranzano and represented a non-Castellamerse faction of the Family. When the Commission was created he stepped aside for Joe Bonanno's regime and was eventually replaced with Giovanni Bonventre then Frank Garofalo as the underboss. He remained a Captain thru the Bananas war, being on the fence but generally rooting for Bonanno. In the early 70s he helped facilitate the reorganization of the Family. I believe he retired mid-70s and live until the 90s.
So in essence, was Bonanno merely a capo at the time Maranzano was clipped? Or was he the consigliere sometime before becoming the boss?
