Which "boss of bosses" Mafia member was behind the murder of New York City police sergeant Joseph Petrosino?
Enrico Alfano Enrico Alfano (born 1869 or 1870; date of death unknown), also known as "Erricone", was considered to be one of the chiefs of the Camorra, a Mafia-type organisation in the region of Campania and its capital Naples in Italy, at the turn of the 20th century. He was described as "a kind of president of the confederation." According to some sources, Alfano was the man behind the murder of New York City police sergeant Joseph Petrosino in Palermo in 1909. However, the murder has since been attributed to the Sicilian Mafia, and to Vito Cascioferro in particular.
Mikey Coppola Michael J. Coppola (born in May 18, 1946), also known as "Mikey Cigars", is an American mobster and captain in the Genovese crime family. He has been a key figure in the Genovese crime family New Jersey faction. It is unknown if he is related to Michael "Trigger Mike" Coppola, who was also a member of the Genovese family. He made national headlines when he went into hiding for 11 years to avoid a possible murder conviction.
