The Life of Philip “Rusty” Rastelli | The Quiet Boss of the Bonanno Crime Family

Описание: Philip “Rusty” Rastelli rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become the official boss of the Bonanno crime family during one of its most chaotic eras. Known as a quiet but strategic leader, Rastelli often ruled from prison, relying on trusted allies to maintain control. His greatest challenge came from Carmine Galante, whose violent power grab threatened his leadership—until Rastelli, with backing from the Mafia Commission, orchestrated Galante’s infamous assassination in 1979. Despite regaining recognition, Rastelli’s reign was plagued by constant arrests, factional wars, and heavy FBI pressure. He led the family until his death in 1991, leaving behind a fractured organization that would become notorious for betrayals and law enforcement infiltration.
