 His brother Andrea Di Carlo took over the command of the Mafia family and became a member of the Sicilian Mafia Commission.According to Di Carlo he was expelled in 1982 because he refused to betray some members of the Cuntrera-Caruana Mafia clan (Pasquale Cuntrera and Alfonso Caruana), during the Mafia war in the province of Agrigento that ran parallel to the Second Mafia War in Palermo.Mafia boss Carmelo Colletti, connected with the Corleonesi, had taken over the command after killing Giuseppe Settecasi and his lieutenant Leonardo Caruana.
