Question about Daniele killing Conte's man (forgot his name)


Why did Ciro send Daniele the kid to kill Conte's man? what did he want to achieve with this action ?
And why was he so anxious to then kill Daniele? so he won't tell?

reply

Yes, the kid was expendable. In the US Joe Colombo, head of one of the crime families, in NY was gunned down in public in 1971 at a rally he organized. He was shot by an African American street criminal who had been recruited to kill Colombo and had been given press credentials to get close.

Jerome Johnson was immediately shot to death before he could escape. Case closed, just another "lone gunman" The suspected mastermind from another crime family was killed a year later in retaliation.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

Should have killed him himself, would have saved him a lot of trouble.
