Corleone family
In "The Godfather Part II", Neri is portrayed as Michael's unofficial second-in-command in his operations in Nevada, and is one of Michael's "capos" along with Rocco Lampone and Frank Pentangeli. In a deleted scene, Neri is shown "convincing" Meyer Klingman, a hotel owner, to give his interest in the hotel to the Corleone Family. When Klingman protests, Neri slaps him in the face and pursues him through the casino's showroom, while casino security guards (now under Corleone control) do nothing. During a Senate investigation of Michael's criminal syndicate, Neri is identified as a "capo" for the Corleone family on an organization chart. Neri also carries out the execution of Michael's brother Fredo, under Michael's orders: while out fishing together on Lake Tahoe, Neri shoots Fredo in the back of the head.
