The reason J. Edgar Hoover denied there was a mafia was because he was being blackmailed for his homosexual activities. The mob wasn't completely heartless though. He still got paid off.

Hoover was an embarrassment and a stain on the Department of Justice. He gets some credit for founding the FBI, but he stayed in his position way longer than he should have. Probably because he would have been prosecuted or exposed the second he was gone. That little rat never got what he had coming.
Navy buddy and I entered the California Bar in Naples, ordered our drinks and waited. Drinks arrive with a number of delicious items,we questioned the waiter about items we didn’t order, he pointed to a smiling gentleman who simply nodded his head. None other than Mr Lucky.
You must be close to 100 then because Lucky was deported back to Italy for good in 1947. So even if you were only 18 at this time that puts you at a minimum age now of 94. Wow so you were born 12 years after WW1 ended 5 years before Elvis was born and the best of all rock n roll didn't exist as it wasn't created for about another 15 years.

Brilliant take on Luciano's role in the dealings of mafia/government. The comparison between Luciano and Bill Gates or Warren Buffet is most poignant. Loved it. Thank you for posting this documentary. I'm not sure if I missed it, but did not see the different speakers identified.
'Lucky' Luciano has always sounded like an intelligent, level headed man. No matter who or what he was, ya have to give this man some level of respect. He had brains and balls and didn't take any crap from anyone.
There was the other side (Not Underworld) who showed their respect sentencing him. That was tyhe only respectable respect respectable judiciary gave to the unrespectable whorehouse pimps and heroin dealers.
Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello, and Joe Bonanno. Are one few Gangsters that made it to old age and died peacefully in their sleep. In modern day, one of the most successful gangster was Michael Franzese that got out of the Mob. He was not a head of family but a street boss or Capo of the Colombo.
Lucky Luciano is one of two of my favorite mobsters. Brilliant man. Both him and Meyer Lansky, hell, it's been said that Meyer could balance the books of the pentagon! Thank you 💛 for this excellent documentary about him. He didn't get enough credit while he was alive. He was used and abused by the USA government!
And Meyer only went as far as the 8th grade in school, while his pal Charlie didn't even complete the 1st grade. How did they achieve this with no school education ?? Must be white privileges
Did you know him personally? I wouldn’t praise someone who I didn’t know and couldn’t vouch for myself and probably has murdered and robbed his way through life .
01:51 Lol! I love how the caption says "Reconstruction" and the narrator says "On September 10, 1931" while showing completely modern footage of NYC. The production designer must've said "Meh, it probably hasn't changed that much in almost 100 years."
Well, some young people may not realize that there aren't many clear photos and movies of the 20s and 30s. I mean, there are kids who can't conceive of a time before smartphones and ipads.
He had a great teacher and mentor in Arnold Rothstein and the great partner in Myer Lansky. Both new when to use brain over brawn to get hints done and to be ruthless when necessary. That’s what separated the long term winners from the gone and forgotten.
Let me tell you I enjoyed the documentary give me some answers about Lucky Luciano which I did not know, so thank you for putting that together I appreciate❤
So Meyer is associated but not part of the Mafia. If there is a successful Mafio's it was Frank Costello. He came from very poor family from Southern Italy. He's one that figure not to go jail for life or get killed. He died a very rich man peacefully in his sleep in the 1970's.
@@Ishbikes Immigrants back then were not finishing school you meant, Charles buddy Meyer only went as far as eight grade. Capone dropped out in six grade, so yeah , those Immigrants in them days weren't much about school as they were about money. That's for sure !
Lucky changed the Mafia forever. He was Brilliant and deserves respect. He lived the life of a Mob man and died in Style . He helped us during WWIII with the solders and helped win the war . Rest In Peace Lucky ❤❤❤❤
Actually, he may have been behind the the trouble on the docks that got him released. Mussolini, asshole that he was, took on the mafia in Italy. The U.S. didn't help by bringing them back (Shades of El Salvador)
Luciano would never have done what he did without Lansky and vice versa. They perfectly complimented each other and their partnership was why they were so successful in the end.
There was four guys that was very good team. It was Lucky Luciano, and Frank Costello where the two Italians. Then there was Meyer Lansky, and Benny "Bugsy" Siegel the two Jewish gangsters. Together they took out Joe "the Boss" Masseria, and the Sicilian Salvatore Maranzano and about 100 other old time Mafio to created a new crime commission.
Marazano started turning the mafia into an organized unit. However, the first person so far discovered to do so was the great Arnold Rothstein. He started it than Marazano did his version of it ad the rest was history.
He turned it into a business, and that is what makes him the true king of the gangsters and is now studied in law enforcement circles. He was right about the heroin, but he was not as keen on the cocain when it arrived because he felt that because the effects didn't last long, he could see that the people who were using it would be committing more and more crime to feed their habits and he knew it was addictive because he had seen people who were taking it go from normal people to chasing the drug like a greyhound chasing a rabbit. And he was right when he said that if it was imported in large quantities, it would become a problem for the soldiers because they thought it wasn't addictive and it proved true by the 80s and into the nineties and led to many convictions of high ranking. But it was R.I.C.O. that finally came after them and they are not as powerful as they used to be, but they have plenty of legitimate ways to make money now,and the loyalty of the past is a long way in the past.
Be careful, books have covert and overt lies. My brother committed a crime before computers. His crime is no where's to be found. Some of us believe he was connected to the Milwaukee Wisconsin mafia.
@@Gaius-Julius-Civilis all help from USA to allies in WWII were shipped in new York docks. Those docks in those years were a jungle... Strikes, slow shipping... The USA help was too slow. The FBI went there to Talk Who they thought was the boss there... " Its not me... Luciano is the boss" The problem were that Luciano were in jail. FBI went to jail to ask help to Lucky Luciano... New York Docks worked properly since that... 6 months later FBI went to jail again to Talk to Luciano about they plans to invade Sicily... Luciano said " Give me 2 months"... American army landed in Sicily without shot one bullet... No one died... British and canadian army had a hard landing in Sicily. Thas history. Thats the reason why american mafia did what they want in USA in 60'S, 70'S And early 80's
Delusional-he only made deal with FBI if anyone on NY docs would know Germans have any activities around he would provide info...please explain how Luciano was "one of the most important person to win ww2"? So it wasnt 17million soviet soldiers, trillions went in to the arms production ?
@@vanillagorrillayou are delusional. 17million death Soviet soldiers (40,50million all together did less ha)?😂 he made a deal if any word about German activities would be around the docks he would inform Feds..that won the ww2-that not even ever confirmed deal ? Bro-please go to school because you are simply..sorry to say but very highly uneducated and naive
38:13-28:18 "Once the alliance between criminals and politicians is smashed, racketeering will come to a prompt end." It is hard to find truer words. The great question is: has the alliance been smashed?

Dude was so powerful that the Allied high command made a deal with him to make sure the Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy succeeded during WW2, he made sure his Italian connections provided crucial intel, partisan activities and sabotage as well as subversive support to hold "liberated" territory ultimately even forcing the Allies to have mafiosi as formal Governor and Mayor roles for small towns all over the place in Sicily and Calabria among other places Let that sink in for a moment Of course the Allies have tried covering this up as much as possible but it eventually came back up and this story is mind-boggling
Despite the last warning by Colin Tierney, most of the commentators on the video cannot hide their admiratoion for Lucky Luciano. I don't blame them. Many others have also left a terrible wake of misery and suffering behind them, but are considered national heros and even saints. Luciano was by no means the worst of them.
Serait il possible you tube de mettre des pubs toutes les 10 secondes car on a presque trois minutes sans coupure on risquerait de voir de documentaire
The burning question is what was the driving force behind Lucky? He was single, so no family to look after financially and he would struggle to spend 00.1% of his share to life his life style. It’s possible he Had illegitimate children although no mention in any videos. It is most likely that he was driven by the challenge and the ultimate power he obtained. The mind boggling part is that, once they made their first $40 Billion they could have stoped the illegal business part and started a normal successful Multi National business (other than drugs) Even owned GM and perhaps a legal drug company or whatever and never paid a Penny in Tax due to expenses. All the Capo’s and soldiers well paid and they would pay Taxes and invest in a Superfund for retirement, Health Care even owned an Insurance company. Thereby having no problems. just like a company such as Black Rock.
Not Salvador(Charlie, Lucky) but Most Italian,s(Catholics) Were Racist about Jewish people. And still are. Like Most people it's been understood,, And Still is, to Hate Jewish People is Excepted. But in spite of that, They've Persevered. 🇮🇱🙏🏻👍🏻
Good documentary but no mention of Bugsy Siegel the main hitman for Lucky and Lansky. He also eliminated fellow Jewish rivals under the loyalty towards his two friends. Bugsy was the main character behind the buildup of Las Vegas (Flamingo). He was the only person in this trio of friends who didn't die a natural death and was assassinated in Las Vegas through the window of his sitting room. He had looks of a Hollywood star and was known as a ladies man. Whether these guys were good or bad, it is matter of personal opinion. I just wanted to add something interesting here about Luciano. The reason he was called Lucky. He survived a near fatal beating by his rivals (that left him with a paralyzed eyelid) and that he once got lucky with a policeman's daughter.
Lucky is my favorite mob but i know he some bad thing to stay on top of things but he came from a long way from being broke to a rich guy i think he love America to save ber from the war
There're are no short cuts in life. Gangsters who go to their grave steeped in violence and blood on their hands will one day be raised by God to be judged by his law and found guilty.
@@KeithGreenan-e7d Not a mere glance but a careful thoughtful study of the bible reveals God's plans in perpetuity. Take the history books on one hand the bible on the other and see how well both line up. With once exception before events come to pass God warns his people a head of time so they aren't taken in by surprise. ie the Books of Kings, Daniel, Mathew Mark Luke and John..
And what evidence do you have that that is true. Because it has been proved that he actually did nothing as he didn't have the connections and power that the gilovernment thought he had in sicillly. He was only released because Lansky pretended that only lucky could get those in control of the docks to protect the ships against the Germans/Nazus. When in reality, they already including kanjsky, who was a Jew, would have protected the docks against the Germans anyway. It was just a scam by lansky to get Lucky out of jail.
Why is it necessary to have the background music LOUDER than the effing dialogue ! There are people like myself with poor hearing, keep this in mind please !
Well he was from Eastern Europe, and as borders have shifted a lot since then, let's concentrate on the main things in the narrative: an Italian mob boss threw away old mob traditions and opened the Black Empire's gates to whoever was efficient in the mob sense of the word, including jews like Lansky and Siegel.
We do ... People even use my first name as their rap name ... I may just start rapping an just use my first an last name as my stage name lol just take off the jr. At the end
For some reason, most of the Italian immigrants who came to where I grew up (before my time) anglicized their names upon moving to America. I can’t remember exactly which year, but my grandfather came here from Frosinone, Italy in the early 1900s and changed his last name from “DePastina” to “Pastine”. Most Italians who came here to work for the coal company did the same. I don’t know if this was to simplify spellings, or if it was to avoid being treated poorly, as most Italians were at the time. I have some relatives who are surnamed “Mastroguiseppe”, but we called them “the Mastrojoes” back when I was a kid to make it easier.
he stopped World War II through the ports NYC. He knew the German UBoats operators who came to NYC and had private parties. Hiltler was scared of him. Thats why they let him out of jail. He was that strong.
عيسى المسيح نبي مرسل من الله للبشر لهدايتهم كحال الكثير من الأنبياء اللذي نحبهم ونحترمهم لكن يضل مخلوق من طين مثلنا الله هو العظيم وهو رب كل شي والخالق العظيم لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفؤا أحد
@@Saintm-lk5iu its good weather and the foods not bad yeah, but it was basic living compared to the US, especially back then, and he hated being there, after living a fast life in the US and thwn suddenly been sent to a quiet small island without all the modern luxuries and travel that he had become acustomed too at home, and he was constantly trying to get back to the US. He even arranged to be flown bk to be buried in the us after his death because he missed it so much.
To add one more thing to the ending, the mafia couldn't get what they wanted without threats and intimidation! The overwhelming majority of people would *never* get involved without the threat of violence against them! So I do not believe these mafioso are all so charming and smart!
Man, if Martin Scorsese is to retire soon, his last movie has to be about Lucky Luciano. His story is incredible & that could be his swan song to Hollywood

The mind boggling part is that, once they made their first $40 Billion they could have stoped the illegal business part and started a normal successful Multi National business (other than drugs) Even owned GM and perhaps a legal drug company or whatever and never paid a Penny in Tax due to expenses. All the Capo’s and soldiers well paid and they would pay Taxes and invest in a Superfund for retirement, Health Care even owned an Insurance company. Thereby having no problems. just like a company such as Black Rock.
YOUR RIGHT. BUT HE WAS A DEGENERATE!
But how would he explain how he made the money in the first place?
He’s my #1
Meyer lansky was the head, charley was the frontman because lansky was Jewish and being Jewish was frowned upon in the mob.
Not Salvador(Charlie, Lucky) but Most Italian,s(Catholics) Were Racist about Jewish people. And still are.
Like Most people it's been understood,, And Still is, to Hate Jewish People is Excepted.
But in spite of that, They've Persevered. 🇮🇱🙏🏻👍🏻
Super 👍
Good documentary but no mention of Bugsy Siegel the main hitman for Lucky and Lansky. He also eliminated fellow Jewish rivals under the loyalty towards his two friends. Bugsy was the main character behind the buildup of Las Vegas (Flamingo). He was the only person in this trio of friends who didn't die a natural death and was assassinated in Las Vegas through the window of his sitting room. He had looks of a Hollywood star and was known as a ladies man. Whether these guys were good or bad, it is matter of personal opinion.
I just wanted to add something interesting here about Luciano. The reason he was called Lucky. He survived a near fatal beating by his rivals (that left him with a paralyzed eyelid) and that he once got lucky with a policeman's daughter.
Lucky is my favorite mob but i know he some bad thing to stay on top of things but he came from a long way from being broke to a rich guy i think he love America to save ber from the war
Yeah he loved America it made him super wealthy
New York has been running fixed trials for decades.
Yeah, they just displayed that with the true President Donald J.Trump!
Even in 2024, they're running fixed trials of the world's biggest names (and most people are buying into it, just like back then.)
Best Siller❤
There're are no short cuts in life. Gangsters who go to their grave steeped in violence and blood on their hands will one day be raised by God to be judged by his law and found guilty.
You believe in fairy tales
@@KeithGreenan-e7d Life is way to short for fairy tales. I deal in realities....
@@davidsowens you have no facts to support your beliefs
@@KeithGreenan-e7d Not a mere glance but a careful thoughtful study of the bible reveals God's plans in perpetuity. Take the history books on one hand the bible on the other and see how well both line up. With once exception before events come to pass God warns his people a head of time so they aren't taken in by surprise. ie the Books of Kings, Daniel, Mathew Mark Luke and John..
He helped american soldiers during war, to avoid german resistence in Sicilia-
And what evidence do you have that that is true. Because it has been proved that he actually did nothing as he didn't have the connections and power that the gilovernment thought he had in sicillly. He was only released because Lansky pretended that only lucky could get those in control of the docks to protect the ships against the Germans/Nazus. When in reality, they already including kanjsky, who was a Jew, would have protected the docks against the Germans anyway. It was just a scam by lansky to get Lucky out of jail.
I heard rhat but ist seems it's urban legend.
Admiro esses mafiosos inteligentes sagas influente lindos maravilhosos
Lucky was the Boss of Bosses he was a true gangster he thought way ahead like Magnus. Plays chess
Magnus lost to prag for first time

And he was a brutal killer and thug who ruined a many lives. Let's not turn him into a kind of hero, shall we ? Please ?
Why is it necessary to have the background music LOUDER than the effing dialogue !
There are people like myself with poor hearing, keep this in mind please !
Hoover was just as corrupt as th rest
Right and gay !
*more. Dude was the definition of corruption.
When Salvatore came around ""LUCKY" they ran. They knew something was coming down.
Meyer Lansky was from Grodno Belarus. Not a polish immigrant!
Well he was from Eastern Europe, and as borders have shifted a lot since then, let's concentrate on the main things in the narrative: an Italian mob boss threw away old mob traditions and opened the Black Empire's gates to whoever was efficient in the mob sense of the word, including jews like Lansky and Siegel.
Ma era ebreo?
excellent history of OC in America.

Ngl Italians have the hardest names in the game 😂🔥
We do ... People even use my first name as their rap name ... I may just start rapping an just use my first an last name as my stage name lol just take off the jr. At the end
For some reason, most of the Italian immigrants who came to where I grew up (before my time) anglicized their names upon moving to America. I can’t remember exactly which year, but my grandfather came here from Frosinone, Italy in the early 1900s and changed his last name from “DePastina” to “Pastine”. Most Italians who came here to work for the coal company did the same. I don’t know if this was to simplify spellings, or if it was to avoid being treated poorly, as most Italians were at the time. I have some relatives who are surnamed “Mastroguiseppe”, but we called them “the Mastrojoes” back when I was a kid to make it easier.
Personal income of $75M/year in today's dollars...good honest businessman in today's business world
He started the five points gang. Till this day still exists.
Luciano was a part of them, but they began before Luciano was born.
Dobrý dokument 👍
Impresionante
They sent him back to Italy. Yet he returned secretly. Nobody ever knew that.

What's the soundtrack here?
Essa dublagem ficou muito boa... nem parece que foi feito com IA 😮
😊😊😊😊😊😊 der beste lucky lucano
Lucky probably was best gangster of all time he changed that it was run which was for the better
If mafioso your idol, this means something wrong with your 🧠
he stopped World War II through the ports NYC. He knew the German UBoats operators who came to NYC and had private parties. Hiltler was scared of him. Thats why they let him out of jail. He was that strong.
I cant believe 1 of the 5 famalies still dont bear his name
Funny how mob bosses didn't have any security 😊
Jesucristo es el Señor de señores.nadie será ni puede alcanzar el nivel de Jesucristo. Arrepiéntete para que tus ojos sean abiertos hoy.
And GOD help you all to see Trump for the smarmy, underworld gangster/con man he is - NOT THE MESSIAH he claims!!
عيسى المسيح نبي مرسل من الله للبشر لهدايتهم كحال الكثير من الأنبياء اللذي نحبهم ونحترمهم لكن يضل مخلوق من طين مثلنا الله هو العظيم وهو رب كل شي والخالق العظيم لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفؤا أحد

If nothing else says he's got what the others didn't living a full life does.
Spent like fifteen years in a shitty cell, then gets booted out of USA, to eat pizza in Cuba and Sicily, 😂
@MarleneWalker-su8ku hahaha and died of a heart attack in his early 60's whilst travelling around on planes because he wasn't allowed back in the US
@@MarleneWalker-su8ku But I'm sure Sicily has great food and weather.
@@Saintm-lk5iu its good weather and the foods not bad yeah, but it was basic living compared to the US, especially back then, and he hated being there, after living a fast life in the US and thwn suddenly been sent to a quiet small island without all the modern luxuries and travel that he had become acustomed too at home, and he was constantly trying to get back to the US. He even arranged to be flown bk to be buried in the us after his death because he missed it so much.
@@dannick9442 that gives me a much better picture. Especially New York back in the day was hopping!
You forgot the covenant about Sicily invasion...
One of those guys in the thumbnail pic is supposed to be Loy Factor, an indian from Oklahoma that lived outside of Dallas.

To add one more thing to the ending, the mafia couldn't get what they wanted without threats and intimidation! The overwhelming majority of people would *never* get involved without the threat of violence against them!
So I do not believe these mafioso are all so charming and smart!
