| | UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appellee, v. VITTORIO AMUSO, also known as Jesse, also known as Vic, Defendant-Appellant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | According to D'Arco, [**9] Petrucelli fell into disfavor with Amuso because he was hiding Constantine "Gus" Farace, an associate of the Bonanno crime family who was suspected of killing a Drug Enforcement Administration agent. |
 | | Under increasing pressure from federal agents, Amuso instructed D'Arco to tell Petrucelli that "he should kill Gus Farace, and right away, or shoot himself." Shortly thereafter, Casso told D'Arco that Amuso was "fuming" about the Petrucelli situation, and that D'Arco should tell Michael Salerno, another Luchese family captain, to kill Petrucelli. |
 | | Chiodo testified that Petrucelli was indeed a member of the Luchese family, and that he had discussed Petrucelli at a meeting with Amuso and Casso. |
