Mugshot of Gambino Capodecina Carmine 'Charley Wagner / Wagons' Fatico
following an arrest for felonious assault with a knife. The case was resolved with a $100 fine.
Fatico was inducted into the Gambino Family in the late 1940s or early 1950s.
He sponsored both his brother Daniel and Anthony 'Fat Andy' Ruggiano for membership.
Ruggiano was made in 1953, shortly after he and the Fatico brothers carried out a murder ordered by Family Boss Albert Anastasia.
All three reported to Capodecina Armand 'Tommy' Rava.
After Rava's murder the trio reported to Aniello 'Neil' Dellacroce.
Fatico inherited a portion of the former Rava crew around 1973.
Made members of the crew included his brother Daniel, Ettore 'Eddie' DeCurtis, Guido 'Dolls' DeCurtis, Anthony Guerrieri and Anthony Ruggiano.
Notable associates included the Carneglias, the Corozzos, the Gottis and Angelo Ruggiero. Several were inducted after the books re-opened in 1976 and rose to positions of leadership in the following years.
By 1980 Carmine Fatico had taken a less active role in Family matters. John Gotti served as his Acting Capodecina, and remained in that position until taking the Family over in January 1986.
Fatico died August 1991 in West Islip, Long Island.
