"Lucky" Luciano

Episode 4.7: “Lucky” Luciano

From the mean streets of Brooklyn, Salvatore "Lucky" Luciano profited enormously from Prohibition in the 1920s, rising through the ranks of the Italian-American Mafia to become the most feared organized crime boss in the United States. A coldhearted killer and a skilled businessman, Luciano transformed the Mob into a powerful and influential nationwide syndicate that controlled large swathes of the economy, with links to politicians, celebrities, and even US military intelligence.
