Lucky Luciano

Lucky Luciano was a powerful Italian-American mobster in the early 20th century who significantly shaped organized crime in the United States. He led the Genovese crime family and is credited with creating the modern National Crime Syndicate, a coordinated network of criminal groups. Luciano organized illegal activities like bootlegging, gambling, and drug trafficking, helping these operations run more efficiently. His efforts transformed the American Mafia into a more structured and influential organization, influencing crime policies and law enforcement tactics. Despite his criminal activities, he played a key role in shaping the landscape of organized crime in America.
