Corleone Family - The Family Falling Apart

The Family Falling Apart

After Don Vito's retirement, followed by his death from a heart attack, the family business was taken over by Michael, who exacted vengeance on the rival family's dons along with Moe Greene, Carlo Rizzi and Sal Tessio for conspiring with the rival heads. After this, Michael moved the family to Las Vegas, Nevada. Michael was attempting to make his business legitimate, but was drawn back into crime after a failed attempt on his life by Miami gangster and old friend and business partner of the Corleone family, Hyman Roth, who was attempting to stop the takeover of Las Vegas. This action eventually resulted in Roth's death. Michael's older brother Fredo, had been ensnared by Roth to conspire against the Corleones. At their mother's funeral, Michael sanctioned the assassination of his surviving older brother.
