Carmine Tramunti

[5] A common version is that the Mafia Commission designated Tramunti as temporary boss until Lucchese's preferred successor, Anthony "Tony Ducks" Corallo, was released from prison[6] On November 19, 1970, Tramunti was indicted in Florida on 14 counts of stock fraud and other charges.

The government charged that Tramunti and other mobsters forcibly seized control of a Miami investment firm.

[9] On November 29, 1972, Tramunti was indicted on criminal contempt charges for lying to a grand jury about calls he made to capo Paul Vario.

[10] On October 4, 1973, as a result of "Operation Shamrock" (now known as the French Connection Case), Tramunti and 43 other mobsters were indicted on narcotics trafficking charges.

[11] Ultimately, Tramunti was convicted in the famous French Connection case for financing a huge heroin smuggling operation.

"[13] Anthony "Tony Ducks" Corallo succeeded Tramunti as head of the Lucchese family.
