PAUL RICCA PART 2

PAUL RICCA PART 2

In the early 1940s, Nitti convinced Ricca and the rest of the Outfit's management to extort money from film studios in Los Angeles, California . Chicago gangster John "Handsome Johnny" Roselli controlled the film industry workers' union Projectors Union and threatened the studios with strikes and other union problems. To avoid labour unrest, RKO, Paramount, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and 20th Century Fox paid several hundred thousand dollars to the Outfit. However, two Chicago Mafia men, Willie Bioff and George Browne, were arrested for extortion and agreed to testify against the Outfit's management. In March 1943, Ricca, Nitti and other Mafia leaders were indicted for extortion.
