Joseph Bonanno
In 1964, a rivalry in the Bonanno crime family started when boss Joseph Bonanno promoted his son, Salvatore "Bill" Bonanno, to the position of consigliere over senior capo Gaspar DiGregorio. The family broke into two factions: the Bonanno faction and DiGregorio-Sciacca faction. On January 28, 1966, an attempt was made on the life of Salvatore "Bill" Bonanno, the son of Joseph Bonanno. The Bonanno's suspected Paul Sciacca and his crew, who were loyal to Gaspar DiGregorio. The newspapers began calling the Bonanno family war the "Bananas War".
