Thomas DiBella
He was the Official Boss/Acting Boss of the Colombo's (Depends on who you ask) for Carmine Persico.
Think the guy got arrested in the 1930's but he stayed under the radar for decades.
He retired due to poor health; and most likely died a rich man.
Anyone know the extent of DiBella and Persico's relationship? For DiBella to have alot of power in that family means he had to be more then just a fill-in for Persico. They say Persico didn't want Carmine Galante gone but wasn't it DiBella who put in the official vote?
