  • Charles “Lucky” Luciano , Nascut Sub Numele De Salvatore Lucania (24 Noiembrie 1897 – 26 Ianuarie 1962) , a Fost Un Renumit Gangster Americano-Sicilian
    Charles “Lucky” Luciano , nascut sub numele de Salvatore Lucania (24 Noiembrie 1897 – 26 Ianuarie 1962) , a fost un renumit gangster americano-sicilian . Luciano este considerat parintele crimei organizate moderne si creierul din spatele expansiunii postbelice a traficului de heroina . Revista americana Times l-a adaugat in top 20 al celor mai influenti constructori si titani ai secolului 20 . Salvatore Lucania s-a nascut la 24 Noiembrie 1897 in localitatea siciliana Lercara Friddi , din parintii Antonio si Rosalia Lucania . Promisiunea unei vieti mai bune a determinat familia sa se mute in America , la inceputul anului 1907 . Odata ajunsi in Insula Ellis , Lucania se imbolnaveste de varicela , boala ce ii va afecta aspectul fetei tot restul vietii . Stabiliti la New York intr-un cartier de evrei , Salvatore isi incepe cariera de infractor jefuind tinerii evrei in drum spre scoala . Dupa mai multe “vizite” in centrele pentru infractorii juvelini , se hotaraste sa isi schimbe numele in Charles datorita rusinii cauzate familiei . In 1919 guvernul american a interzis productia si comercializarea alcoolului pe teritoriul Statelor Unite ale Americii , fapt ce a dus la expansiunea industriei ilegale de alcool . Intre 1920-1925 Luciano isi dezvolta , cu ajutorul altor gangsteri ai vremii , o uriasa afacere cu alcool , afacere ce ii aducea un profit anual de cateva sute de mii de dolari . Importa scotch direct din Scotia , rom din Caraibe si whiskey din Canada . Pe langa afacerile cu alcoolul , mai era implicat in jocurile de noroc , dar in acest moment Luciano deja facea parte din bossii mafiei din New York . In curand Luciano isi va uni fortele cu Joe “the Boss” Messeria .

  • Gang Wars Background Guide.Pdf
    Chair’s Letter Dear Delegates, We are delighted to welcome you to the Gang Wars Crisis Committee as part of the third Kent School Model United Nations Conference. Your chair for the committee is Brandon Schuster ‘19; he have been part of KSMUN for the past three years. Brandon has chaired the EU Committee on Migration (KSMUN ‘17) and the Cuban Missile Crisis (‘18) in the past two years and is now the Under Secretary-General for Logistics. He also runs cross country, is a coxswain for the crew team, and is co-president of Grilling Club. I am so excited to have you in my committee! Our committee deals with the Apalachin meeting of 1957, where the five main bosses of the New York crime scene gathered in upstate New York to discuss their futures. After decades of a stable conservative majority in The Commission, the structure of organization for America’s mafia, the 1950s have brought about a new liberal movement. At this meeting, some expect to be elected the new Chairman of the Commission, some are pushing for liberal reforms, and some are trying to cling on to power. Your goal will be to gain power and influence, represent your delegate and family’s views, and to eventually choose a new leader of the Commission. All are welcome in to join in this committee, but a basic knowledge of the workings of MUN procedure, the history of the American mafia, and the position of your delegate you represent will aid you in preparation for the committee. All delegates are expected to research these things and come ready with the information that they will need, as electronic devices will not be allowed in the debate room.

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.
