The Bonanno crime family is one of the "Five Families" of New York City's American Mafia. Joseph Bonanno was the first boss of the modern family, which had originated in the 1890s. The family was unstable for much of the 1970s and 1980s, and boss Carmine Galante was murdered by Philip Rastelli in 1979; in 1981, three rebellious capos (Al Indelicato, Dominick Trinchera, and Philip Giaccone) were murdered before they could murder Rastelli. In 2004, the boss of the family, Joseph Massino, became an informant, and the family became weak. In 2015, the family had around 105 made members and over 1,000 associates. The Bonnano crime family was the smallest of the Five Families, though, what they lacked in size, they made up for in extreme violence, ferocity and having very ruthless and efficient hitmen, making them the most vicious and murderous of the Five Families. The Bonnano crime family controlled a multi-billion dollar international heroin trafficking empire, for decades, single-handedly built by Carmine Galante, who was the boss of the Boanno crime family from 1976 until his death in 1979. Carmine Galante single-handedly created a multi-billion dollar international heroin trafficking empire, that was making $5 billion a year, and he became a billionaire from his vast drug empire, though he was very greedy and refused to share with other bosses of the Five Families, which ultimately led to his death.
