Meanwhile, on the same day…
In one of the safe houses of the Luciano family, there was a ceremony going on. This ceremony was a meeting, an induction for the newest recruits into the Luciano family.
There were a total of ten recruits and they all sat down at the large table while the captain and guards stood before them.
Normally in the past, the whole family - including the boss - would be there to witness the initiation event, however, due to the FBI surveillance of ceremonies like this, the practice was stopped.
Thanks to the surveillance, it had resulted in a host of indictments and arrests with crime families losing honor and favor as a result of the sacred ceremony being taped under their watches.
Hence the rules were changed to ensure the survival of the remaining crime families. Even if the initiation ceremony were to be found out, the boss would be spared from arrest and prison and ensure the prosperity of the gang afterward.
