Editing Gagliano crime family (section)

==Gagliano leadership==
Gagliano's faction gained control during the Castellammarese War. After Masseria's 1931 killing and the reorganization of New York's families, Gagliano headed the surviving Reina borgata. The transition is best described as internal succession and realignment:

:[[Reina crime family]] → contested Pinzolo administration → Gagliano family → Lucchese crime family.

The organization retained its principal East Harlem and Bronx base while developing construction, hoisting, gambling, loansharking and business interests. Precise roles should be assigned only where sources establish them; later prominence under Lucchese does not prove the same rank during every year of Gagliano's leadership.

In 1932, Gagliano was convicted in a corporate income-tax case involving a lathing business and received a prison term.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1932/05/22/archives/four-bronx-men-draw-tax-evasion-penalties-tomasso-gagliano-gets.html “Four Bronx Men Draw Tax Evasion Penalties”], ''The New York Times'', May 22, 1932.</ref> That conviction documents a specific tax offense and related business; it is not proof of every racket later attributed to the family.
