| dbo:abstract | Philip „Benny Squint“ Lombardo (* 1911 in New York City; † 1987 in Hollywood (Florida)) war ein hochrangiges Mitglied der US-amerikanischen La Cosa Nostra und Oberhaupt der Genovese-Familie. 1933 war er Stellvertreter von „Underboss“ Michael Coppola, der die „116th Street Crew“ anführte, welche die Repräsentanz der „Familie“ in East Harlem darstellte. Er musste aus gesundheitlichen Gründen seine Position als Oberhaupt aber nach nur zwei Wochen wieder abgeben; allerdings wird von vielen heute angenommen, dass er bereits seit den späten 1960er Jahren der eigentliche Boss gewesen war, da die FBI diesbezüglich über entsprechende Tonband-Aufzeichnungen z. B. von John Gotti verfügt. Selbst Thomas Eboli und Frank Tieri seien demnach nur Strohmänner von Philip Lombardo gewesen. Als am 31. März 1981 Frank Tieri an Krebs starb, wurde Anthony Salerno das Oberhaupt des Genovese-Clans, da er aber ebenfalls wie Lombardo schwer krank war, kann ab diesem Zeitpunkt Vincent Gigante als eigentliches Oberhaupt gesehen werden. (de) Philip Lombardo (October 6, 1908 in New York City – April 29, 1987) also known as "Benny Squint" and "Cockeyed Phil", was the boss of the Genovese crime family from the late 1960s until the beginning of the 1980s. He succeeded Vito Genovese as Boss in 1969 and was succeeded by Vincent Gigante in 1981. Lombardo began his career as a soldier on Michael "Trigger Mike" Coppola's powerful 116th Street Crew in the East Harlem section of New York. During the 1940s, Lombardo served a brief prison stretch for narcotics trafficking, his only imprisonment. Due to his thick eyeglasses Lombardo earned the nickname, "Benny Squint." In 1959, family boss Vito Genovese was sent to prison. However, Genovese used a series of acting bosses to maintain control of the family from prison. His three acting bosses, or Ruling Panel, were Capo Michele Miranda, underboss Gerardo "Jerry" Catena, and acting boss Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli. The trio panel was known to authorities but in 1962 former mobster turned government witness Joseph Valachi stated before a US Senate subcommittee that Lombardo was also a part of this same panel. In that same year Anthony Strollo disappeared and was presumed murdered. Strollo's role as a front or acting boss was given to Thomas Eboli. Eboli himself was later gunned down in 1972. It had been theorized that Commission chairman Carlo Gambino had orchestrated Eboli's murder in order to install his own candidate for Genovese boss in the form of Alphonse Frank "Funzi" Tieri who would replace Eboli as front boss shortly after Eboli's murder. However, according to FBI informant Vincent Cafaro, Lombardo had been boss since 1969 and had been using Eboli and Tieri as decoys to insulate himself from the FBI. In 1981, Tieri died and Lombardo stepped down as boss due to poor health, naming Vincent Gigante as his successor, while at the same time making Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno the new front boss in order to disguise Gigante's transition into the new boss. This way the FBI would still not know who was really in charge and would continue to go after the wrong people, which they did, sentencing Salerno to 100 years in prison in 1986 in the Mafia Commission Trial. Although Lombardo resided in Englewood, New Jersey, he spent his remaining winters in Hollywood, Florida. He made it clear that Gigante was to become the new boss, and Salerno would continue as the front boss. He was 78 years old and living in Florida when he died on April 29, 1987.
