Part 9/11:
By 1969, despite a series of strategic maneuvers, Veto Genovesi found himself incarcerated and facing 15 years in a federal penitentiary. The once-feared kingpin, who had engineered a vast empire through ambition and brutality, became a mere shadow of his former self—replaced by Carlo Gambino, who patiently awaited his chance to ascend.
Death and Legacy
Veto’s life came to a halt on Valentine’s Day, 1969, when he died of a heart attack in prison. His story serves as a cautionary tale within the annals of organized crime: a narrative of how ambition can drive a man to the pinnacle of power, but also how that same ambition can blind him to the threats lurking at every corner.
