On the record
- 8 July 1969 — United States v. Corallo, 413 F.2d 1306: the court affirmed his conviction of "conspiracy to use the telephone as an interstate facility with intent to violate the New York State bribery laws," in the award of the Jerome Park Reservoir cleaning contract. Court opinion.
- April 1988 — A General Accounting Office witness, David C. Williams, listed "Tony Salerno, Tony Corallo, Carmine Persico, Philip Rastelli" among bosses convicted between 1983 and 1986 (S. Hrg. 100-906, printed p. 75). Testimony.
- 31 January 1989 — United States v. Salerno, 868 F.2d 524: "Corallo was boss of the Lucchese family," which the government established for the late 1970s to 1985; recorded conversations showed that "DiLeo complained to Corallo, the boss of the Lucchese family" about a Staten Island loansharking dispute. What the government established, as the court summarizes it.
The role line is the Commission appeal’s statement of what the government established. It stays on this page and the opinion’s page. The records opened do not say who led the family between Lucchese and Corallo, so no succession is drawn. No opened record gives his birth or death.
