Genovese death opens path to three Mafia heirs
The death of Vito Genovese spurs three contenders to lead the Mafia’s Genovese family. Thomas Eboli, Gerald Catena, and Michele Miranda are named as possible successors, while Catena faces health issues and a stricken status in New Jersey. Genovese died in a Springfield Missouri prison hospital at 71. U.S. Attorney Morgenthau calls Genovese’s death a chance to cripple the crime network and urges indictments to prevent leadership meetings.
