  • Team 7 Executive Summary
    Team 7 Executive Summary Between the 1950s and 2000s, the Gambino crime family was the most successful and feared organized crime family in the United States. Recent years, however, have seen the family relegated to the background. This report seeks to address the question: how did leadership style contribute to the declining influence of the New York Mafia? Starting from the 1930s, five major Italian-American Mafia crime organizations dominated crime in the New York City. The five organizations were later named as the Five Families, namely the Bonanno/Massino Family, Colombo Family, Gambino Family, Genovese Family and Lucchese Family, with the Gambinos as the most notorious mafia crime family. It was founded after the Castellammarese War of 1931 and was promoted by Carlo Gambino starting in 1957. Gambino’s regime was marked by his iron-fisted toughness and private lifestyle; it was upon these two pillars coupled by his criminal and business savvy that allowed Gambino to lead the family to dominance and made him almost untouchable to the FBI. Castellano had a natural ability as a business leader, but lacked the leadership qualities that were necessary to lead an organization as rooted in tradition as the Gambino family. Though he was the most successful economic leaders in the American Mafia, there was a major disconnect between himself and his employees. Ultimately, neglecting tradition and the “family” aspect of the organization led to his downfall. However, his impact stretched past his own tenure, as he left the organization in a more fractured state then when he arrived. Gotti took an entirely new approach through his irresponsible leadership style by working around core family rules and adopting his own personal idea of what a leader should be portrayed as specifically through his obsession with publicity and fame.

The RICO law was designed to go after mob bosses that were not able to be charged with murder or as intellectual authors of a murder because they were not the ones executing the plan. This law also allowed prosecutors to go after mobsters for crimes such as drug trafficking, extortion, labor racketeering, and other crimes that would usually be under the control of the mafia. In this article, the RICO law will be analyzed. This article will determine whether the RICO law has been a success and if it has fulfilled its purpose after its implementation. 8 UNDERGRADUATE LAW JOURNAL OF FAU SPRING 2021 I EDITION X After years of sending mob leaders to jail for reasons that may not have been the ones authorities wanted to charge them with, in 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act was implemented on a federal level. 1 The RICO law was designed to go after mob bosses that were not able to be charged with murder or as intellectual authors of a murder because they were not the ones executing the plan.

GOTTI, MOB FUNERALS, AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH PATRICK J. GORDONt INTRODUCTION The American mafia has had a long and scandalous history. Glorified in the movies and television, and with names such as "Sammy the Bull," "Bugsy," "Fat Tony," and "Dapper Don" reach- ing household variety, the mafia history will seemingly live on forever. When John Gotti passed away from throat cancer in a prison hospital on June 10, 2002, one might have expected the scandal that trailed his storied life to have died along with him. His funeral procession, however, was proof to the contrary. It could have been the throngs of onlookers, the string of black Cadillacs, or the helicopters flying overhead. Or maybe it was the federal agents working surveillance out of the white van and the heavyset "companions" of John Gotti paying their respects.' Needless to say, John Gotti received more attention in death than he had in the last two years of his life, which he spent locked up in the United States Medical Center for Federal Pris- oners in Springfield, Missouri.
