🔍 Carlo Gambino Series 7: The Fall of Luciano, The Rise of Gambino, and the Global Mafia Shift 🌍
In this gripping new chapter of the Carlo Gambino series, we enter the volatile period of the late 1940s—a time when Lucky Luciano’s fall triggered a chain reaction that restructured organized crime from Sicily to Havana to New York.
We begin with Luciano’s sudden deportation from the U.S. to a broken postwar Italy. Was he still feared? Was he still respected? And how did the Sicilian underworld receive the man who once ruled the American mob?
While Luciano tried to find his footing in Palermo, Carlo Gambino was already planning his next move. Rumors of a powerful sit-down in Cuba reached New York, and Gambino—silent, calculating—was watching. Would Luciano try to reclaim the spotlight through press, clubs, and parties? Or would he work the shadows? Gambino intended to find out.
As we step into Cuba, 1946, we witness one of the most significant mob sit-downs in history. Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Luciano, and other top figures gathered to discuss heroin routes, government protection, and internal betrayals. But behind the charm and cigars, serious cracks were forming.
We then turn to Luciano’s escalating conflict with Vito Genovese, an old enemy with a long memory. Their feud would shape the underworld for decades. Eventually, Luciano was deported from Cuba—just as the CIA and Operation Gladio were beginning to use the Sicilian Mafia as a Cold War asset. Everything was shifting.
Meanwhile, back in the U.S., Frank Costello’s empire came under fire. After appearing on the cover of Time Magazine, Costello was targeted through a 1949 drug bust. The establishment attempted to tie him to narcotics networks—a move that would change everything.
We also examine the disappearance of the Mangano brothers and how that affected the power structure in New York. Anastasia rose, but not without suspicion. What did Costello know? And what did Gambino stand to gain?
This episode also explores Gambino’s long-term connection to the Sicilian Mafia. From 1943 to 1966, he quietly built relationships with key Sicilian figures—eventually controlling Palermo through proxies, giving him transatlantic power unmatched by any other boss of the era.
From Luciano’s exile to sit-downs, assassinations, and global power plays, Carlo Gambino Series 7 ties together the Mafia’s major postwar events like never before. You’ll know who was who, who did what, and when. No gaps. No myths. Just history told straight.
We end with the fallout from the Mangano hit and Anastasia’s defense before the Commission, a tense moment that set the stage for even more chaos to come.
