Sonny-Boy Granzella

"If I don't get home soon, my wife's gonna murder me."

- Sonny-Boy to Trapani

Santino "Sonny-Boy" Granzella was a soldier in the Fortunato Regime, under Victor Barzini.

Biography
A former investor who got rich due to stock market, Sonny-Boy became a member of the Barzini Family after Don Emilio Barzini met him at the Dixmor Trust. He did a few missions for them around the year of 2005 but instead became an associate of the family, beginning a diamond racket in the basement of Scotty's Biscotts that shipped it's goods to The Shiny Gem Warehouse in Mid Town. Due to his move on Old Town, he became an ally to the Stracci Family, who were already allied with the Barzinis.

In 2010, Granzella gave a large deal of money to Stracci Family capo Leo Grossi, in order for the Barzini underboss, Victor Barzini, to receive a shipment of explosives for his own ends. However, Grossi's delivery boy Plinto Ottaviano was killed by Corleone Family enforcer Richie Pisano and Grossi was forced to renegotiate with Victor over the deal.

Grossi never succeeded, as he was assassinated by Charlie Trapani and Granzella began to pay tribute to the Corleones instead.

Death
According to his good friend, Paul Fortunato, Granzella was being taken in 2016 to answer for betraying the Corleone Family in 2014, but along the way he managed to escape his captors, knocking two out with a pipe along the way. He got loose and left France, eventually ending up in US where he turned to a couple of DeVazzi guys he could trust for help, but they were shot down by Corleone enforcers who tailed Sonny-Boy. In the end Sonny was shot over 20 times with Tommy Guns by Corleone men. Even after his death, the Corleones achieved nothing, as even today their rackets and shops are being taken over by the DeVazzis.

Trivia

 * His death is kind of similar to the way Joe Clemenza was killed, although a lot less brutal and sadistic.
