In 1910, 41% of its residents had been born outside America. While Germans and Irish were the largest immigrant groups in the 1800s, Jews and Italians were the largest groups by the early 1900s. “Within the brief span of less than a generation the ethnic composition of the metropolis altered radically,” explains demographer Ira Rosenwaike. “[P]ersons of Jewish and Italian background had become numerically superior to those of Irish and German descent.”58 Table 2–1 Demographic Trends in New York City, 1890–1940, ~ Total Numbers and Percentages of New York City Population59 Census Irish Jewish Italian Black NYC Total Year Population 1890 624,000 (26%) 175,000 (7%) 67,000 (2%) 35,000 (<2%) 2,321,000 1900 710,000 (20%) 510,000 (14%) 216,000 (6%) 60,000 (<2%) 3,437,000 1910 676,000 (14%) 1,050,000 (22%) 544,000 (11%) 91,000 (<2%) 4,766,000 1920 616,000 (10%) 1,600,000 (28%) 802,000 (14%) 152,000 (2%) 5,620,000 1930 613,000 (8%) 1,800,000 (25%) 1,070,000 (15%) 327,000 (4%) 6,930,000 1940 518,000 (6%) 1,785,000 (23%) 1,785,000 (23%) 458,000 (6%) 7,454,000 In Chapter Three: The Racketeer Cometh, we will see how these demographic trends bolstered the Mafia’s labor racketeering. Now, let us look at their social effects on the underworld. THE SOUTH ITALIAN COLONIAE IN NEW YORK CITY South Italians especially favored living among fellow paesani. “No other nationality in New York City is so given over to aggregation as the Italians,” observed a writer. Settlement patterns Chapter Two: Page 51 The Mob and the City: The Hidden History of the How Mafia Captured New York Chapter Three: The Mafia Rebellion of 1928–1931 and the Fall of the Boss of Bosses Table 3–1 The Fall of the “Boss of Bosses”: Boss of Bosses, Mafia Families and Major Participants Giuseppe “The Clutch Hand” Morello, Boss of Bosses, ?–1910: Morello was the “boss of bosses” until 1910 when he was convicted for counterfeiting. Sent to Atlanta Federal Penitentiary until release in 1920, then joined Masseria Family. Salvatore “Totò” D’Aquila, Boss of Bosses, 1910–1928: D’Aquila was the highly-secretive “boss of bosses” during most of Prohibition. He was murdered by unknown assailants in Lower Manhattan in 1928. Giuseppe “Joe the Boss” Masseria, Boss of Bosses, 1928–1931: Masseria rose from obscurity to become boss of bosses after death of D’Aquila. Became embroiled in a series of gang fights. Masseria was assassinated in 1928 at Coney Island restaurant by cabal organized by his lieutenant Charles “Lucky” Luciano.

Five weeks after becoming “boss of bosses,” assassinated in Park Avenue office in 1931, by Jewish hit team organized by Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Tom Gagliano and Tommy Lucchese. Maranzano was the last “boss of bosses.” Replaced by power-sharing Commission.

Most of the 10,000 independent ice and coal dealers were from southern Italy. About 90% of the 1,300 licensed pushcart peddlers of fruits and vegetables were Italians. Fully one-third of the 18,000 members of New York’s largest musicians’ union were Italians who, along with African-Americans and Jews, were essential to the nightclub business.37 These were all “fragile” sectors prone to extortion or racketeering. WHY THE MAFIA WAS POISED FOR LABOR RACKETEERING Driven into the most labor-intensive jobs, Italian workers ironically came to dominate key labor forces by the 1930s (see Table 4–1). The Little Italies were still thriving enclaves, skeptical of police, the home base of mafiosi and recruiting grounds for young men. At the same time, second-generation Italian-Americans were increasingly accepted as “white” by society. “[T]he Chinese who seeks to leave his Chinatown is under a severe handicap not experienced by Italian Chapter Four: Page 102 The Mob and the City: The Hidden History of How the Mafia Captured New York Chapter Five: The Mafia and the Drug Trade Table 5–1: Characteristics of Mafia Drug Operations from Federal Cases in the New York Area (≤ 1963)79 Name of Case Conspirators Financing Drug Source Families Involved U.S. v.

La Gaipa (1937) 70+ Unclear Europe Mangano members THE FRENCH (CANADIAN) CONNECTION When viewed against this background, the famous “The French Connection” case of the early 1960s looks less the mark of something new, and more like another Mafia drug operation. The case was immortalized by William Friedkin’s 1971 Academy Award-winning film The French Connection starring Gene Hackman. The reporter who wrote the book on which the film was based trumpeted the case as “The World’s Most Crucial Narcotics Investigation.”81 It wasn’t. In reality, the scheme was a small, family affair involving Pasquale “Patsy” Fuca, his brother Joe and father Tony. Patsy’s uncle was Angelo “Little Angie” Tuminaro, a trafficker for the Lucchese Family. With their Corsican partners, they refined Turkish opium into heroin in Chapter Five: Page 146 The Mob and the City: The Hidden History of How the Mafia Captured New York Chapter Five: The Mafia and the Drug Trade convicted traffickers. This is astounding given how weak narcotics enforcement was at the time. As late as 1950, the NYPD’s narcotics squad had 18 officers; in 1965, the FBN had only 433 employees nationwide. Many mob traffickers evaded the law. Valachi estimated that about “75 tops, maybe 100” in the 450-man Genovese Family were into narcotics—about one in six.86 MAFIA LEADERS INVOLVED IN DRUGS Contrary to myth, drug trafficking was not confined to low-level mobsters. Table 5–2 below shows that all five Families had high-ranking leaders with early narcotics convictions: Table 5–2: Known Leaders of the New York Families with Narcotics Convictions (≤ 1963) Individual (earliest narcotics conviction) Top Position Obtained Family Charles “Lucky” Luciano (1916) Boss Genovese Dominick “Quiet Dom” Cirillo (1953) Boss Genovese Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno (1958) Boss Genovese Vito Genovese (1959) Boss Genovese Vincent “The Chin” Gigante (1959) Boss Genovese Natale “Diamond Joe” Evola (1959) Boss Bonanno Carmine “Lilo” Galante (1962) Boss Bonanno Anthony “Tony Ducks” Corallo (1941) Boss Lucchese Salvatore “Tom Mix” Santoro (1952) Underboss Lucchese Stephen Armone (1935) Caporegime Gambino Joseph “Joe Piney” Armone (≤1963) Caporegime Gambino Joseph “Jo Jo” Manfredi (1952) Caporegime Gambino Rocco Mazzie (1959) Caporegime Gambino John “Big John” Ormento (1937) Caporegime Lucchese Nicholas “Jiggs” Forlano (1935) Caporegime Magliocco Chapter Five: Page 148 The Mob and the City: The Hidden History of How the Mafia Captured New York Chapter Five: The Mafia and the Drug Trade Table 5–3: Mafiosi in the New York Area with Narcotics Convictions, 1914–1963 (born ≤ 1920 with conviction ≤ 1963)105 No. Individual Year of Year of Approx.

  • “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli, Irving Davidson, and Israel
    Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Addendum to Chapter 4 “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli, Irving Davidson, and Israel By Jonathan Marshall “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli’s international circle of business contacts and political allies extended far beyond the Caribbean. In particular, he teamed up with adventurers, criminals, lobbyists, and intelligence agents involved in creating and defending the state of Israel. Their unorthodox tactics were reminiscent of the China Lobby’s. Both groups were dedicated to saving a small and beleaguered nation by any means necessary. Like the China Lobby, this pro-Israel network illustrates the deep political nexus between organized crime, corruption, and intelligence. In the early 1950s, according to the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Zicarelli was “alleged to have been involved in the traffic of arms and munitions sold to the government of Israel.” Probably not coincidentally, the gangster was also a business partner of two leading Jewish bootleggers, Abner “Longie” Zwillman and Schenley CEO Lewis Rosenstiel.1 More than a few prominent Jewish gangsters, including Meyer Lansky, Zwillman, “Bugsy” Siegel, and Mickey Cohen, supported the Jewish underground with money and logistics help in the late 1940s.2 Zicarelli’s partner in the sale of arms and stolen securities, Steven Irwin Schwartz, had been a prominent gunrunner to Jewish armies in Palestine. Schwartz was an officer in ABCO, a New Jersey cigarette vending company controlled by Zicarelli and New York Mafia underboss Carmine Galante. “Since 1946,” the FBN report noted, “Schwartz has been engaged in the traffic of arms, a good portion of which have been obtained from Communist Bloc nations and shipped first to Israel and later to Cuba.”3 Associated with Schwartz in those ventures were Irving “Swifty” Schindler and TWA flight engineer Adolf Schwimmer.

    Polizia di Stato Trapani: Operazione ?Ruìna? Blitz della Polizia di Stato a Trapani e provincia, dove gli uomini del Servizio Centrale Operativo, delle Squadre Mobili delle Questure di Trapani e Palermo, hanno eseguito 13 fermi di indiziato di delitto, disposti dalla Direzione Distrettuale Antimafia di Palermo, nei confronti di altrettanti indagati, di cui alcuni vicini al boss latitante Matteo Messina Denaro, accusati, a vario titolo, di associazione mafiosa, estorsione, incendio, furto, favoreggiamento personale e corruzione elettorale, aggravati dal metodo mafioso o comunque per essere stati finalizzati a favorire Cosa Nostra.Le indagini, sviluppatesi mediante l&rsquo;utilizzo delle più recenti e sofisticate tecnologie, hanno permesso di ricostruire una fitta rete di affiliati e fiancheggiatori della compagine mafiosa facente parte del mandamento alcamese, operante principalmente nel comune di Calatafimi &ndash; Segesta, nota località di interesse storico e termale.Personaggio centrale, al vertice capo della locale famiglia mafiosa, Nicolò Pidone, già condannato per 416 bis nell&rsquo;ambito dell&rsquo;indagine denominata Crimiso, che nel 2012 aveva portato all&rsquo;arresto di altrettanti affiliati appartenenti anche alle famiglie di Castellammare del Golfo e di Alcamo.A lui facevano riferimento gli odierni fermati, che riceveva riservatamente all&rsquo;interno di una fatiscente dependance attigua alla sua masseria.In quel contesto venivano assunte le principali decisioni riguardanti gli accadimenti ritenuti rilevanti per Cosa Nostra, monitorate le dinamiche criminali del contesto territoriale di riferimento e risolti i dissidi nascenti all&rsquo;interno della stessa comunità rurale.A dimostrazione dello spessore del referente della famiglia mafiosa locale, è stato progressivamente accertato che egli fosse diventato interlocutore privilegiato di soggetti e personaggi provenienti da altri contesti territoriali, gestiti da altre famiglie mafiose.

    378 Obviously, the possibility cannot be dismissed, although it can hardly be said to have been established. At this point, it is, in your words, Mr. Chairman, perhaps only a little more than a "suspicion suspected," not a "fact found." The committee decided early in its investigation, as soon as it realized that a Mafia plot to assassinate the President warranted serious consideration, to assemble the most reliable information available on organized crime in the United States. The details of this phase of the committee's investigation will, of course, appear, hopefully in full, in its final report, a report that will consider the background of organized crime in America, the structure o£ the Mafia in the early 1960's, the effort by the Kennedy administration to suppress the mob, and the evidence that the assassination might have been undertaken in retaliation for those efforts. To scrutinize the possible role of organized crime in the assassi- nation, the committee early brought on one of the country's lead- ing experts on the subject. He is Ralph Salerno, whose career as an organized crime investigator with the New York City Police De- partment goes back to 1946. Mr. Salerno has since retired from the New York City Police Department and I would note that on the day of his retirement, the New York Times was moved to comment that he perhaps knew more about the Mafia than any nonmember in the United States. It would be appropriate at this time, Mr. Chairman, to call Ralph Salerno. Chairman STOKES . The committee calls Mr.

ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, THE MAFIA, AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM* Benjamin M. Shieber** I. INTRODUCTION The United States Constitution affects the ability of federal, state and local governments to combat criminal activity. Since the relevant constitutional provisions are in the form of broadly stated legal commands,' the constitutionality of specific law enforcement practices can only be determined when the courts, ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States, interpret these commands in cases in which they are challenged. As has long been recognized, the judicial role in the interpretation process is a creative one, for when conflicting policies compete for ac- ceptance, a court's interpretation will further one policy at the expense of another.' The court's policy preference can only be rational and respon- sible when it is based on "considerations of what is expedient for the community concerned."'3 This requires the court to know the communi- ty, determine how implementation of each competing policy would af- fect it, and choose the policy of greatest utility for that community.'

Salerno: The Constitutionality of Regulatory Detention Daniel Richman In the custody of United States Marshals in March 1986 after his arrest on racketeering charges, Anthony Salerno, known to his associates and a federal grand jury as “Fat Tony,” did not look particularly dangerous. Indeed, even before his arrest, when holding court at the Palma Boy Social Club in East Harlem, the cigar-chomping 74-year-old “Boss” of the Genovese Family of La Cosa Nostra did not look like the kind of person one crossed the street to avoid on a dark night.1 But under the recently enacted Bail Reform Act of 1984, federal prosecutors could seek the pretrial detention of Salerno and his long-time associate Vincent (“Fish”) Cafaro on grounds of dangerousness.
