On the record
- 12 July 1979 — United States v. Salerno, 868 F.2d 524 (1989), summarizing the evidence: Anthony Indelicato was recorded "consulting with Gambino family underboss Aniello Dellacroce, at the Gambino headquarters less than half an hour after the murders" of Galante and two associates. What the evidence showed, as the court summarizes it.
The FBI history page on Gotti refers to “recently deceased Gambino boss Aniello Dellacroce.” That conflicts with the court’s description of him as underboss, and it is not used for the role line. No opened record gives his birth or the date of his death.
