Evidently when Guiliani was the US Attorney going after the Mafia, they voted to have him killed...Gotti and Scarpa said yes; but, the 3 other family heads said no. The information was just revealed from court papers...I hope Rudy was smart enough to leak this information.

Back in 1986, Rudy Giuliani worked as a federal prosecutor in New York. He was good at his job, and, evidently, this fact did not escape the heads of the mafia's infamous "five families." After all, Giuliani had indicted each of the bosses. The most famous among them, John Gotti, is said to have proposed a gangland hit on the city's eventual mayor, but the plan was scuttled by the heads of the Bonanno, Lucchese and Genovese families.

ONE OF THE REASONS I LIKE RUDY,
HE WAS THE ONLY PROSECUTOR TO CONVICT ALL FIVE HEADS OF THE N.Y. MAFIA FAMILYS.
THEY RECEIVED 100 YEARS APIECE.
IN FACT HE CONVICTED 6, HE CONVICTED THE 'STAND IN HEAD' FOR THE BATHROBE GUY, VINCENT 'THE CHIN' GIGANTE
(GIGANTE WAS THE GUY WHO SHOT FRANK COSTELLO, YEARS AGO WHEN COSTELLO WANTED TO RETIRE AND COUNT HIS MONEY.)
GIGANTE BOTCHED THE JOB AND ONLY WOUNDED COSTELLO,
BUT VINNY 'THE CHIN' STILL ROSE UP IN THE RANKS TO BECOME BOSS OF THE MOST POWERFUL CRIME FAMILY IN NY..
The Genovese Family
200 to 225 members
Boss: Vincent “Chin” Gigante, 76
Underboss : Venero “Benny Eggs” Mangano, 83 (Incarcerated)
Consigliere: Vacant
The Genovese clan, long considered the Ivy League of organized crime, is the only family whose heir apparent and official boss seem to be one and the same. Vincent “Chin” Gigante took over around 1982. He’s been in federal prison since 1997. The Oddfather, whose crazy-man strolls in Greenwich Village in his pajamas kept him out of prison for decades, is scheduled for release at age 82, in 2010— if he lives that long.
***
RUDY IS A GREAT HONEST MAN AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED.
WHEN HE WAS THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR HE TOOK ON EVERY CRIMINAL WHO BROKE THE FEDERAL LAW.
THATS THE TRUTH!
YOU CAN BET THE FARM ON THAT.

I remember reading about Rudy and his fight on crime. I believe I was living in either Hawaii or Virginia during his tenure with Justice. I have admired him since way back then. Seems that everyone knew the mob wanted him dead but they just couldn't get at him. Guess his people were too loyal to be bought even by the mob.
Paper today was all about how the mob is dwindeling (sp). Guess they are dying off and the young ones are not (in the US) as active as the older generation. That and the Russian mafia are killing out the old mob gangs.
