Once he was an adult he joined the mob that rivaled the Bertinelli family. While in the mob he grew a strong disliking for a man named Pete. Pete was the same man he believed molested his sister but he was too powerful to do anything. That was until years later when Pete screwed up and a hit was put out on him. Tony volunteered for the job and strangled him outside of a restaurant.
The Bertinelli family however, was becoming more powerful and destroying Tony’s allies and taken over their territory so Tony went to South America to hide.
