this is Exactly what Francesco Cali did on Wednesday evening in the New York city borough of Staten Island. About 21.20 the 53-year-old joined family father from his Villa in the posh quarter Todt Hill. He was received by a Killer who whipped out his 9-Millimeter pistol and in cold blood shot him.

A similar attack, it was not since 1985, when Paul Castellano, he was also stretched a Gambino Boss. The 70-year-old wanted to enjoy dinner at the Sparks Steak House in Manhattan, as three killers intercepted, automatic weapons moved under their trench coats and down-shot.

Because it has since been to mafia activities in New York stiller, many ask, what threatens now. A new gang war? Shootings on the streets?

violence with mobsters as Victims is the result of internal power struggles of the Clans.

Maybe a view helps in the prognosis back in the history of New York's Cosa Nostra, which has been in feature films such as "The godfather" and books in multiple immortalized. Italian petty criminals ensconced themselves since the 1880s in America. The rivalry of the gangs in the US metropolis culminating in the bloody Castellammare war of 1930 and 1931. Been completed, the fight for supremacy by Charles "Lucky" Luciano. He founded the "Commission", a leadership panel of five bosses. Since then, the families rules, Gambino, Lucchese, Genovese, Colombo, and Bonanno, their conflicts with each other in a peaceful way.

acts of violence with mobsters as Victims are the result of internal power of the Clans fighting. Also, this calm, however, in the 80s and 90s, as prosecutors launched an Offensive against organized crime. In the case of the Gambinos, John Gotti, had given the murder of Castellanos in order ended up, in 1992, in the prison. The city's well-known Boss with the nickname of "Dapper Don" was Geprahle and extravagant clothes. He died in 2002 in prison of cancer.

"Franky Boy" Cali, who succeeded Gotti after a few between the figures, lost the opposite: He led a private life, eschewed the telephone and the violence was allegedly never worked. His thing is the business, that was in comparison to earlier small. The times, as New York's Mafia controlled the trade of Cement and the private rubbish collection are long gone. Cali focused on the remaining Business, of the American Italian Mafia today: award of usury loans, trade in, hard drugs, money game in the Hidden.

at the same time Cali made his crime family, he imported a tough lad from Sicily. And here is the reason for the assassination could be on him. Last September, was dismissed by John of God brother, Gene, 72, out of the prison. Investigators suspect that there may be the of God with other American Gambino-members want to get rid of the Sicilians.

so, It could be actually, again, bloody. Cali was designed to be extremely "disrespectful" way, not just anywhere in Manhattan, but at home, with his wife and children in the house as witnesses. The police fear: An equally brutal revenge will not be long in coming.
