Bruno Indelicato, left, and Frank Lino. The son of the brutally murdered Alphonse (Sonny Red) Indelicato, a capo who led a doomed faction of the Bonanno family, Bruno was in his heyday a feared stone killer with a legendary appetite for cocaine.  Indelicato was one of three masked gunmen who walked into Joe & Mary’s restaurant in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn one hot July day in 1979 and blasted Carmine Galante at close range while the volcanic would-be usurper enjoyed a customary post-prandial cigar. Indelicato’s  efforts to protect the family’s boss paid dividends: Indelicato was among a slew of Bonanno soldiers elevated to capo by a grateful Philip (Rusty) Rastelli in the wake of the Galante hits.  But Cosa Nostra being Cosa Nostra, it didn

At that time, indeed, it is to be excluded that Verduci could act autonomously, but only as a representative of his Locale, subject to the consent of the top bosses above him. Carmelo Bruzzese, right. Undoubtedly, “ During the fight to steal turf from Rizzuto [2009-2011]”, Verduci was a ‘Ndrangheta high-ranking member. Nevertheless, it is likely that he was not yet the top boss (Capo Locale) of the Locale of Toronto, dependent on the mother-Locale of Marina di Gioiosa Ionica, as he will presumably become later.
