I hope they aren’t stoopid enough to think this will work.
’80s Plot to Hit Giuliani? Mob Experts Doubt It(snip)
But the details of the reported plot are curious. According to Mr. DeVecchio’s notes, Mr. Scarpa said the discussion took place around September 1986. At the time, Mr. Scarpa was a lowly soldier in the Colombo family, not likely to be invited to meetings of the top bosses.
His source of information is generally surmised to be Alphonse Persico, who later engaged in a bloody struggle for control of the family. Mr. Persico and Mr. Gotti, the two supposed yes voters, were not great friends: Mr. Gotti supported a rival faction in the Colombo war. And in his own many trials, Mr. Gotti was not known to threaten prosecutors or judges.
“I’m pretty sure he’s right on when he says Carmine Persico wanted to kill Rudy Giuliani,” said Jerry Capeci, who writes the authoritative Mafia Web site ganglandnews.com. “I find it difficult to believe that John Gotti would have gone along with the proposal.”
In fact, the idea of any collaboration among the bosses in late 1986 strains credulity, experts said. At the time, Mr. Gotti had just reached the top of the Gambino family after organizing the killing of the boss, Paul Castellano, an act that could have impeded normal diplomacy for a while.
