--------
Dominick Cicale divulged an intense narrative involving Bonanno crime family associates and high-stakes mafia internal politics. Cicale inherited Randy Pizzolo, a notorious wild card and problem-maker. Cicale established dominance quickly, making it clear that Pizzolo's notorious reckless behavior wouldn't be tolerated. Despite a brief period of compliance, Pizzolo's old habits resurfaced, leading acting boss Vinny Basciano to command Cicale to eliminate Pizzolo. The plot took a dramatic turn, with Cicale orchestrating Pizzolo's assassination through "Ace." However, Basciano was later caught on a wire discussing the murder, unaware that Joe Massino, the Bonanno Boss, was wearing a wire for the FBI. The wiretap captured Basciano discussing Cicale’s role in the murder and other criminal activities.
