napolitano, after three years of work in brooklyn, moved operations to florida in 1980, where he and donnie brasco set up loansharking, illegal gambling, extortion, and racketeering operations with the permission of longtime florida boss santo trafficante, jr.. it was around this time that santora would be put in charge of the entire florida operation, along with brasco. back in new york, the leadership of philip rastelli had waned in popularity, as alphonse indelicato was seen as a more prominent figure as boss of the bonanno family, which is why napolitano moved operations into florida, in hope of squeezing the rival faction out financially. indelicato and two other captains, trinchera and philip "phil lucky" giaccone began planning on taking over the family.
