During the 1960s, amid escalating racial tensions in Brooklyn, City Youth Board director Frank Arricale informed Mayor John V. Lindsay that local Italian youth would not listen to police but would listen to the Gallo brothers, who were respected and feared figures in the neighborhood.

Because of this, the city informally deputized Albert and Larry Gallo to speak directly to the Italian-American groups involved in the violence and persuade them to stand down.
This intervention, combined with intensified community policing and mediation efforts, helped prevent the unrest from spiraling into a full scale, formally recognized “riot.”

A grand jury was convened to investigate the Gallo brothers’ activities, but they objected, insisting that their efforts were intended to ease tensions rather than stir disorder. They argued that the District Attorney had wrongly portrayed them as criminals, despite their active engagement with local leaders and youth organizations to help quell the turmoil.

John Pate was a Staten Island Colombo capo, loyal to the Persico faction throughout the Colombo wars. In 1992, he was arrested on murder and loansharking charges.

The following year, Pate chose to cooperate with federal investigators, presenting himself as mentally unstable, a tactic he later admitted was fabricated, and took the stand against Alphonse “Allie Boy” Persico, though prosecutors found his testimony underwhelming.

His decision to flip appeared to draw retribution, evidenced by the reported firebombing of his home. By 2001 he had been removed from witness protection, and after receiving a sentence of roughly 13 years with time served, he was released in October 2003.

Charles Carneglia, a soldier in the Gambino crime family, has been linked to five alleged murders spanning from the 1970s to the 1990s.

These include the 1976 killing of court officer Albert Gelb, for which he was charged but later acquitted, and the 1977 stabbing of Gambino associate Michael Cotillo, as well as the 1983 stabbing of associate Salvatore Puma.

Carneglia was also involved in the 1990 execution of fellow Gambino soldier Louis DiBono on orders from boss John Gotti, and the fatal shooting of armored-truck guard Jose Delgado Rivera during a robbery at JFK Airport.
