Editing Colombo crime family (section)

==Profaci and Magliocco lineage==
Joseph Profaci headed a newly formed Brooklyn family around 1928. David Critchley describes its largest hometown bloc as coming from Villabate in Palermo province and treats it as a separate fifth New York family rather than an offshoot name for D'Aquila's organization.<ref name="Critchley">David Critchley, [https://books.google.com/books?id=2eCPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA160 ''The Origin of Organized Crime in America: The New York City Mafia, 1891–1931''] (New York: Routledge, 2009), pp. 160–163.</ref>

Profaci led until his death in June 1962. Contemporary reporting described him as head of a feuding Brooklyn mob.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1962/06/08/archives/profaci-dies-of-cancer-led-feuding-brooklyn-mob.html “Profaci Dies of Cancer; Led Feuding Brooklyn Mob”], ''The New York Times'', June 8, 1962.</ref> His brother-in-law and underboss Joseph Magliocco succeeded him.

Magliocco became involved in Joseph Bonanno's plan against rival Commission leaders. After the plot was exposed, Magliocco was removed or forced to retire. Contemporary reporting on his death described him as having headed a Cosa Nostra family after Profaci.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1964/01/01/archives/magliocco-cosa-nostra-chief-buried-quietly-on-long-island-headed-a.html “Magliocco, Cosa Nostra Chief, Buried Quietly on Long Island”], ''The New York Times'', January 1, 1964.</ref>

Joseph Colombo then became leader. The sequence is:

:[[Profaci crime family]] → Magliocco administration → Colombo crime family.

This was succession and Commission-backed reorganization, not the creation of an unrelated family.
