Clemenza's strongest attribute to the Corleones was his stubborn loyalty, not his intelligence. Thus, regardless of his complaints about Michael, he would never have betrayed the Corleones. Clemenza was known as a superb judge of talent.
Ultimately, Tessio betrays Michael by helping arrange his assassination at a peace summit with Barzini and Philip Tattaglia. The summit will be held in Tessio's fiefdom in Brooklyn, where Michael will presumably be safe. In return, Tessio was to inherit the Corleone family upon Michael's death.
He knew Clemenza was unhappy. He had been promised he could begin his own family. Sonny was a hothead, Michael was a civilian, Fredo was weak. Hagen figured when Vito died, Clemenza would make his move.
Most noteworthy, the novel depicts Clemenza's fatal heart attack (mentioned in The Godfather Part II), and the many conspiracy theories that he had actually been murdered by the Rosato Brothers, former Corleone soldiers who had formed their own gang after a dispute over the future of the family.
Peter Clemenza was scheduled to return in The Godfather Part II, but due to a disagreement between Richard Castellano and Paramount, his character was killed off and was replaced by Frank Pentangeli.

Did Clemenza stay loyal?
Clemenza remained loyal, and personally assassinated Victor Stracci with a gunshot as he was coming out of an elevator during Michael Rizzi's baptism. He also garroted Carlo Rizzi, Connie Corleone's husband, in revenge for Carlo's purported involvement in the murder of her brother Sonny.
Fredo later betrays Michael after being approached by Johnny Ola (Dominic Chianese), an associate of rival crime boss Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg). Ola and Roth tell Fredo that Michael is being particularly difficult in business negotiations between Roth's organization and the Corleone family.
When Hagen's longtime mistress, Judy Buchanan, is murdered by thugs working for Don Carlo Tramonti, Hagen becomes a person of interest in the investigation, though he is later cleared of the charges. In August 1964, Geraci kidnaps Hagen and drowns him in the Florida Everglades.
Michael arranges to have Roth killed at the airport where he is about to be taken into U.S. federal custody. Minutes after disembarking the plane, he is fatally shot by Michael's caporegime Rocco Lampone, posing as a reporter. Rocco himself is killed by federal agents as he tries to escape.
The Clemenza character survived the bloodshed of the first film, which meant Castellano had the good fortune to be asked to appear in the sequel, 1974's The Godfather Part II. But instead of counting his blessings—or cannoli—the actor apparently took the opportunity to drive a hard bargain.
During the meeting, Sonny, the family underboss, expresses interest in the deal, but Vito refuses the offer as he finds narcotics too much of a "dirty business". Barzini then approves Sollozzo's plan to have Vito murdered in the hopes that Sonny, as his father's successor, will accept the deal.
In the film, Vito warns Michael that the one who comes to him with a Barzini proposition was the traitor. Tessio came to Michael during Vito's funeral with the proposition. The funeral is a great setting for this treachery because Vito's memory is lingering in the scene.
Yes, he did, at least according to the unfortunate and ill-conceived sequel The Godfather Part III. In The Godfather Part 3, why does Michael Corleone break down and confess to ordering the death of Fredo when he hates Fredo and wanted him dead and said that he was nothing to him and not a brother anymore?
and Vito's oldest son and heir apparent Sonny ordered Salvatore Tessio to kill Bruno. According to Tessio, the hit took place at 4:00 in the morning at Bruno's own nightclub.
Vito warns Michael that Barzini will set Michael up to be killed under the guise of a meeting; Barzini will use one of the Corleone family's most trusted members as an intermediary. Shortly afterwards, on July 29, 1955, Vito dies of a heart attack in his garden while playing with his grandson, Michael's son Anthony.
As Fredo prays the Hail Mary (which he claimed brought him luck whilst fishing), Neri shoots him in the back of the head, not knowing that Anthony was watching from his bedroom window.
After encountering a homeless Tom on the streets, Sonny took him home and persuaded his father to take him into the family. Although the Don never formally adopted him, thinking that this would have been an act of disrespect to Hagen's real parents, Hagen thought of Vito Corleone as his true father.
Tom Hagen was originally going to return for The Godfather: Part III, and the central plot was going to be a split between Tom and Michael. The character was killed off when the film's producers refused to accommodate Duvall's salary demands.
In the novel, Greene is murdered shortly afterward by Al Neri. At the end of the film, Michael has Greene killed as part of his slaughter of the Corleone family's enemies. Neri surprises Greene while he is getting a massage and shoots him through the eye.
Fredo was aware that Hyman was angry with Michael's aggressiveness in Las Vegas, and he simply allowed Hyman to attempt to kill Michael so that he could hopefully claim the title of Don Corleone. Of course, we all know how it eventually ended up going down.
Hyman Roth was a Jewish mobster and business associate of both Vito and Michael Corleone. His character was inspired by real-life mobster Meyer Lansky. He first met Vito Corleone in the 1920s when he was working as an auto mechanic in Little Italy.
