He was also the first official boss of a modern Genoese criminal family. In 1936, Luciano was convicted and successfully convicted of forced prostitution and prostitution racketeering after years of investigation by District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey. He was sentenced to 30 to 50 years in prison, but during World War II, through his assistant Meyer Lanky, an agreement was reached to provide naval intelligence. In 1946, for his alleged military cooperation, his sentence was commuted on the condition that he be deported to Italy. Luciano died in Italy on January 26, 1962, and his body was allowed to be transported back to the United States for burial. Early life Luciano was born Salvatore Lucania on November 24, 1897 in Lercar Frieddi, Sicily, Italy. Luciano's parents, Antonio Lucania and Rosalia Capporelli, had four other children: Bartolomeo (born 1890), Giuseppe (born 1898), Philippe (born 1901) and Concetta. Luciano's father worked in a sulfur mine in Sicily. His father was very ambitious and persistent to eventually move to America. In Lucky Luciano's Last Testament: A Mafia Story in His Own Words, the alleged semi-obibia that was published after Luciano's death, Luciano described how his father always had a new Palermo-based steamship company calendar every year and would save money on the boat by keeping the jar under his bed. He also mentions in the book that his father was too proud to ask for money, so instead his mother received money in secret cousin named Rotolo, who also lived in Lercar Frieddy. Frieddy. The book is largely seen as accurate, there are numerous problems that point to the possibility that it is, in fact, fraudulent. The book was based on conversations Luciano allegedly had with Hollywood producer Martin Gosh years before Luciano's death. According to The New York Times shortly before the book was published, the book quotes Luciano, recounting the events that took place years after his death, repeating mistakes from previously published books about the mafia and describing Luciano's involvement in encounters that occurred while he was in prison. In April 1906, when Luciano was eight years old, the family emigrated from Sicily to the United States. They settled in New York city in the Manhattan neighborhood of the Lower East Side, a popular spot for Italian immigrants. At the age of 14, Luciano dropped out of school and started working, supplying hats, earning $7 a week. However, after winning $244 in the dice game, Luciano quit his job and started making money on the street. In the same year, Luciano's parents sent him to the Brooklyn Truant School. As a teenager, Luciano founded his own gang and was a member of the old Five Points Gang. Unlike other street gangs whose business was a petty crime, Luciano offered to protect Jewish youth from Italian and Irish gangs for 10 cents a week. He also studied pimping trade in the years around World War I Luciano also met Meyer Lanky as teenagers when Luciano tried to extort Lansky for protection money on his walk home from school. Luciano respected the younger boy's defiant response to his threats, and after that they formed a lasting partnership. It is unclear how Luciano earned the nickname Lucky. Perhaps this was due to a severe beating and slit throat by three men in 1929 as a result of his refusal to work for another mafia boss. The nickname can also be associated with his gambling luck, or the simple incorrect pronunciation of his surname. From 1916 to 1936, Luciano was arrested 25 times on charges including assault, illegal gambling, blackmail and robbery, but did not spend time in prison. It is also not clear how his last name was given to Luciano. This, too, may have been the result of constant typos in the newspapers. Prohibition and early 1920s On January 17, 1920, the eighteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution came into force and the ban continued until the amendment was repealed in 1933. The amendment prohibited the production, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages. The demand for alcohol naturally continued, resulting in the black market for alcoholic beverages providing criminals with an additional source of income. By 1920, Luciano had met many future mafia leaders, including Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, his longtime friend and future business partner through the Five Points Gang. A what Year, Lower Manhattan gang boss Joe Masseria recruited Luciano as one of his fighters. Around the same time, Luciano and his close associates began working for player Arnold The Brain Rothstein, who immediately saw a potential surprise from the ban and brought Up Luciano to manage bootleg alcohol as a business. Luciano, Costello and Genovese started their own bootlegger operation with Rothstein funding. Rothstein served as Luciano's mentor; among other things, Rothstein taught him how to move in a high society. In 1923, Luciano was caught in the sting of selling heroin to undercover agents. Although he has not seen jail time, being outed as a drug dealer has damaged his reputation among his high-end partners and clients. To salvage his reputation, Luciano bought 200 expensive places to Jack Dempsey-Louis Firpo boxing match in the Bronx and handed them out to top gangsters and politicians. Rothstein then took Luciano on a shopping trip to the Wanamaker department store in Manhattan to buy expensive clothes for the fight. The strategy worked, and Luciano's reputation was preserved. By 1925, Luciano was collecting more than $12 million a year, and he earned personal income of about $4 million a year from illegal gambling and bootlegging operations in New York, which also spread to Philadelphia. The rise to power and the end of the 1920s Luciano soon became a top aide in the criminal organization of Masseria.
