Riggi then designated Vitabile as his consigliere and Girolamo Palermo as underboss. The DeCavalcante family would be under this steady leadership for the next fifteen years. However, the late 1980s brought law enforcement investigations that would shake up the family throughout the 1990s. In July 1990, Riggi was convicted of racketeering and conspiracy and sentenced to prison for 15 years. Still in charge of the family, Riggi named Gaetano Vastola as his acting boss and Vitabile remained as consigliere. However, in 1991, Vastola was convicted of extortion and went to prison.
