In 1937 Genovese fled to [[Naples]] to avoid an impending murder [[indictment]] in New York,<ref name=Sifakis>{{cite book|last=Sifakis|first=Carl|title=The Mafia encyclopedia|year=2005|publisher=Facts on File|location=New York|isbn=0-8160-5694-3|pages=277|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jgCpxTpPCPcC&q=genovese+reina&pg=PA277|edition=3.}}</ref> so Luciano appointed his ''consigliere'', Costello, as the new acting boss and the overseer of Luciano's interests.
