After informing Vito about the seriousness of his present situation, Leo gives him an ultimatum: kill Carlo Falcone or be killed himself. As Vito leaves his apartment for the meeting, he is approached by Leo Galante and Mr. On September 26th, 1951, Carlo sends orders for Vito Scaletta to meet him at the planetarium, where he intends to kill Vito for vouching for Henry Tomasino and bringing him into his family. Thinking he was above the law and too powerful to be taken down, Carlo's only concern was that Vito had vouched for a rat. When Triad enforcer Zhe Yun Wong found out about Tomasino through one of his contacts in the bureau, he had him killed. It's unclear exactly when Tomasino became an informant, but he managed to supply the feds with enough information that many in Empire Bay were worried. The Federal Bureau of Narcotics sent Henry Tomasino into the Falcone crime family to gather information on his operation. He then set his sights on taking out Frank Vinci, the last person standing in his way of becoming the only crime family in the city. This resulted in the deaths of both Clemente and most of his crime family, putting them out of business for good. When he found out Alberto Clemente had muscled his way in and was stealing his customers, he sent Vito Scaletta and Joe Barbaro to kill him by bombing his family meeting at the Empire Arms Hotel. Realizing that selling drugs like heroin and marijuana could provide a steady flow of money into the family, Falcone set up operations to supply Empire Bay. Upon arriving at the Maltese Falcon, Vito and Joe Barbaro were brought into the Falcone family as made men. After taking out the Clemente men guarding the slaughterhouse, Vito left Tony Balls to finish off Luca to report back to Eddie Scarpa.

The attempted hit was carried out by Rocco, one of Carlo's capos, and his crew, in an attempt to take over the family. In 1950 an assassination attempt was made on Carlo while he was visiting the Garden of Eden club in Oyster Bay. He recognizes that the mob got rich through Prohibition, and that they need a similar revenue stream to stay at peace. Carlo is a ruthless modernizer and an apt strategist who sees the American Mafia as needing to break from its Sicilian traditions. He is known to be a great philanthropist in Empire Bay, as a generous benefactor he took over much of the construction costs of the Zavesky Observatory. His underboss Eddie Scarpa runs the day-to-day business of the restaurant, spending most of his time at the bar. It got its name due to his love of detective novels. Carlo secretly conspired with Frank Vinci to assassinate Tomaso Moretti in 1933, bringing the Vinci-Moretti War to an end and taking control of the Moretti family for himself.Ĭarlo Falcone owns the The Maltese Falcon, a restaurant in Midtown.

He ran their bootlegging operation during Prohibition, working with Eddie Scarpa to run alcohol from Canada. Born in Sicily in 1905, Carlo Falcone arrived in America in 1913 and quickly fell in with the Moretti family.
