	Aniello Dellacroce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Paul Castellano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dellacroce, however, supposedly wouldn't approve of an attempt on his life, and thus they could not try to harm him.
		Although Bilotti was a loyal mobster, his primary role was that of a chauffeur to Castellano, and few regarded Bilotti as possessing the intelligence and diplomatic skills required to hold such a high rank within the organization.
		Within two weeks of Dellacroce's death, on December 16, Castellano and Bilotti were shot to death outside Sparks Steak House in Manhattan on the orders of John Gotti.

		Dellacroce liked Gotti, but Gambino boss Paul Castellano loathed him, or more to the point feared him, which in the Mafia ultimately means conflict.

		Dellacroce was so ill he might never stand trial, but many of the younger mafia guys were having doubts as to whether Paul Castelanno had what it took to keep his lips sealed, which would subsequently lead to him spending the remainder of his years in a prison cell.
