The New York Daily News offered an excerpt from Larry McShane and Dan Pearson's book about former Philadelphia Cosa Nostra boss Ralph Natale.
Philadelphia mob hit
man/union fixer Ralph Natale reported directly to the family boss, Angelo Bruno
— until Natale landed behind bars on arson and drug charges.
On the night of March 21,
1980, in an act of treachery that sent the Mafia family into a death spiral,
consigliere Anthony (Tony Bananas) Caponigro targeted longtime Philly mob head
Bruno in a shotgun street hit.
In this excerpt from “Last
Don Standing: The Secret Life of Mob Boss Ralph Natale,” Bruno’s right-hand man
Natale recounts learning about the execution while locked inside a Florida
jail.
