In 1955 Anthony took the majority of the family's rackets and dealing and moved to Las Venturas. His remaining interests in Liberty were left to his under boss – Mickey Stambolli. The remaining 4 families negotiated the division of Liberty. It was agreed the Leone would control the gambling and the unions in Portland, the Forellis would have all narcotics and prostitution in Staunton. The Santiago's and Clericuzio would control narcotics and bookies in Shore side. And it was like this for the several years - gang violence remained to a bare minimum and the families were happy to be making more money than ever before, The Sindaccos were still operating in Venturas and like promised there was no revenge for Luchiano.
This, however is not to say there were not any hiccups along the way.
In 1970, Salvatore Leone was 20 years old and fast becoming a strong influence in the family; He was known to fly to Los Santos and Las Venturas frequently on "business" with the local police authority, Salvatore seemed to have a good handle on corruption and bribery.
The Leone Family had run into some trouble, two of Antonio's button men, Federico and Vinny, was caught by the F.B.I and decided to squeal on the Leone family's operations to escape a harsh sentence.
Salvatore had his contact in the LSPD find where he was holed up; the Witness protection program moved Federico to a small town outside Las Venturas called Palamino Creek. It was time for Salvatore to "make his bones" – Antonio sent him with 3 of his men to take care of him. Salvatore took him out to the desert and Federico was never heard of again.
Vinny was found many years later in Vice City, once caught Salvatore had him fitted with a pair of "cement boots" and then was made to "sleep with the fishes" just west of the leaf links golf course.
