Frank DeCicco: P5

Frank DeCicco knew the rules. And he knew what happened when those rules were

broken. After Sparks Steak House, the Mafia Commission was furious.

Paul Castellano had been killed without approval — and that kind of defiance demanded an

answer. Driving that response was Vincent “Chin” Gigante, the boss of

the Genovese family. Behind him were allies — including Vic Amuso and Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso

from the Lucchese family — supporting a move meant to reassert the old

order. The primary target was John Gotti. But Frank DeCicco — his underboss,

his strategist — was never off the table. April 13th, 1986.
