Gene Borrello recounts his decisive move from the Gambino to the Bonanno crime family. Initially aligned with the Gambinos, Borrello’s path altered dramatically following a harrowing drive-by shooting. The incident saw a car shot eight times, wounding his innocent friends. The attack, executed by Albanians and orchestrated by rival Phil, pushed Borrello to seek vengeance. Despite his demands for retribution, Al Trucchio, a multimillionaire with Gambino ties, rebuffed the call for violence. Frustrated, Borrello turned to the Bonannos, finding an ally in Ronnie Giallanzo, who permitted retaliation. Borrello's vendetta unfolded through relentless attacks against Phil, including arson and an attempted bombing. Ironically, this fierce pursuit ended only because Borrello diverted his focus to another rival.
