Pepe Sabato was a key Genovese capo who never did a day in jail but rock-and-rolled in the New Jersey underworld for over six decades. He was said to have started inauspiciously as a fledgling gambling runner and pick-up man for the infamous Joe Adonis. He must have greatly impressed his superior because, within a short time, Pepe was being tapped more and more to act in Adonis’ stead.
