Colombo Membership (2000)

The Colombo Family was barred from making new members through most of the 1990s as a result of the internal Orena-Persico conflict. The last known ceremonies of the decade were in early 1991. In the years leading up to 2000, nine members were murdered and therefore not officially replaceable even if the books had been open. Another half dozen defected. Around early 2000 the ban was lifted and inductions resumed.
