  Caporegime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A caporegime (sometimes shortened to capo) is a term used in the Mafia for a high ranking member of a crime family who heads a crew (or group) of soldiers.
Caporegime is an Italian word, which was originally used to signify the head of a family in Sicily, but has now come to mean a ranking member, similar to Captain.
A caporegime acts as an intermediary between the soldiers and the boss.

Now, before Vito retired and turned the business over to Micheal, he warned him that someone he trusted would be a traitor, that that person would arrange a meeting to meet with the quiet enemies, and at that meeting Micheal would be murdered.
At the Don's funeral, it was Vito Corleone's caporegime and long time friend Sal Tessio who suggested to Micheal that he meet with former enemy of the family Barzini on Tessio's territory, where Micheal would be safe.
Neither he nor Michael seems to be surprised that it is one of the caporegimes so it is fair to assume that they all knew it was going to be someone very close and they all had their doubts but noone was totally sure.

A Padrino also tends to come from a foreign country, although typically this would be Sicily, we'll take Finland, for it sounds just as devious.
The job of the Caporegime is to lead the individual crews that do most of the work, and they don't really report to anyone except the Don himself (although in most cases they aren't required to unless something important comes up).
ESR and RMS do this, and just like a mafia Caporegime, they may have varying views of how things should be done and run, but when push comes to shove, they are all on the same side.
