Second in Command
He was one of the earliest members of the NCO, since its formation in 1970. Casillo was highly trusted and soon rose to become the deputy and main military chief of crime boss, Raffaele Cutolo, during the period when he was imprisoned in the prisons of Poggioreale and Ascoli Piceno. As the NCO's second in command, he participated in a high-level meeting with representatives of the Sicilian Mafia and Camorra clans to try to put an end to the bloody war between the NCO and their rivals from the Nuova Famiglia (NF), together with Cutolo’s sister, Rosetta.

Famous quotes containing the word command:
“I, who should command a regiment,
Do amble amiably here, O God,
One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.”
