Om episode

If there was ever a mobster who looked like a politician it is surely Frank Costello. It is no coincidence that he was nicknamed the minister of the underworld. We can, without a doubt, state that Costello must be classified in a class apart among the many mobsters who gave birth to American organized crime. The peculiarity of Frank Costello is that his criminal power was not linked exclusively to the violence exercised but to his ability to earn illicit money with prohibition, slot machines and other gambling operations. He effectively controlled much of the gambling industry in New York, Florida, Louisiana and other states and the casinos in Las Vegas. He was very influential in the organization that determined New York politics in those years, namely Tammany Hall which collected the votes for the Democratic party.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.
