One of the enduring myths about the Mafia is that it respects women and children. However, for several years boss Vito Genovese protected one of his top earners Salvatore "Sally Burns" Granello who allegedly raped multiple underage girls. Indeed, at one time Granello even was being groomed as a possible successor to Don Vito. The only thing that prevented the child rapist from becoming a family boss was his big mouth which finally got him whacked in 1970.

The Genovese family finally said good riddance to the child rapist who once was in the running to be their crime boss. Of course, it's no surprise that the mob accepted a degenerate in its ranks for so long. After all, the Mafia long has been the principal supplier of kiddie porn and child prostitutes with no concern for who gets hurt or who does what as long as the money is rolling in. Honorable men? Respect for women and children? Forget about it.

Hey, whaddaya want? He was a good earner.
Probably thanks to movie producers reluctant to wake up with a horse's head in their bed.
Why did you excerpt a blog?
If the guy had been a Muslim they would have made a prophet. So give the Silcilians a break. They at least did not promote him and eventually did him in. BTW, how underage were the girls?
He was a top earner and good for business.
This surprises you?
