Carmine Galante was an American Mafioso who was acting boss (unofficial) of the Bonanno crime family of New York City. Galante was rarely seen without a cigar hanging from his mouth, leading to the nickname "The Cigar" and "Lilo". He was assassinated on Commission orders in 1979 while dining in a restaurant.

The Cotroni crime family, originally Cotrone, is an Italian-Canadian 'Ndrangheta-type organized crime syndicate based in Montreal, Quebec. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) considers the family a branch of the Bonanno crime family of New York City.
