National Crime Syndicate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Crime Syndicate was the name given to an organized crime syndicate, set up in the 1930's, by Charles "Lucky" Luciano and based out of New York City. Similarly, an outsider encroaching on the turf of one of the families would be declaring war on the entire syndicate. The heads of the various crime families would meet to decide who had the rights to the various territories. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Commission   (363 words)

Meyer Lansky Other leaders of the emerging national crime syndicate objected to the kill-happy Siegel, feeling he would be too loyal to Lansky and would give Lansky too powerful a hold on the apparatus of the extermination crew should the confederation fall apart in a war of extermination. Meyer Lansky had outlived Lucky Luciano by 20 years but, in the end, Luciano's handiwork in the national crime syndicate - the American Mafia- was the portion that survived, simply because it was a structure, an apparatus that needed running, that automatically filled all vacancies because it remained a money-making machine. There was a godfather of the national crime syndicate, the parent organization of what became the American Mafia- and thus a real godfather of the American Mafia. www.carpenoctem.tv /mafia/lansky.html   (1940 words)

The Hoffa Wars: Chapter One Because Bonanno's son was implicated in the plot, the National Crime Syndicate's ruling council ordered the elder Bonanno to respond to the charge. Without the daily burden of defending his professional friendships with organized crime figures to the press and to the rank and file--as Hoffa had spent much of his career doing--Fitzsimmons used his free time backing up his union subordinates and making new friends in politics and big labor. Without a national organization the reform groups were crashing their heads into brick walls. www.moldea.com /Hoffa.html   (4356 words)

crj401_1.htm The committee was was charged with ascertaining whether a national crime syndicate existed in the use of the wire services to transmit the outcomes of horse races to bookies. The official version of organized crime rests on an argument that the Mafia in Sicily was and is a more or less unified group of families operating within a highly organized structure, which has dominated the political and social life of Sicily for at least the last century. Smith's view of organized crime is that it is merely a series of "enterprises" occurring along a spectrum of legitimacy. www.jsnet.eku.edu /matt/potter/crj401_1.htm   (5475 words)

As the National Crime Syndicate evolves into a structure able to supply influential people who do not have a personal criminal record, the government will be more inclined to use them.

Lucky Luciano Together with Meyer Lansky, Luciano was also a founder of the Mafia's "parent" organization, the national crime syndicate, a network of multi-ethnic criminal gangs that has ruled organized crime for more than half a century, a criminal cartel which has bled Americans of incalculable billions over the years. The remnants of the old Mafia were incorporated in a new national crime syndicate, a more open society that combined all the ethnic elements of organized crime.

Know your BFEE: Know your BFEE: Corrupt Craftsmen Hoover and Dulles Organized crime, the American Mafia and the national crime syndicate were chartered in the 1920s, concurrent with the establishment of J. Edgar Hoover's Federal Bureau of Investigation. Illiterate punks became the great robber barons of the 20th century, and it was these men who provided the muscle to create organized crime in America (in its truest meaning of a syndicate with interlocking relationships with other mobs around the country). Edgar Hoover was the best FBI director organized crime could ever have wanted; it was difficult for syndicate members to be antagonized by a law enforcement official who claimed neither organized crime nor a Mafia existed in knowyourbfee.blogspot.com /2005/06/know-your-bfee-corrupt-craftsmen.html   (1913 words)

Murder, Inc.COM - Thomas E. Dewey Before his death in 1944, Louis Lepke, a major crime figure in the National Syndicate, offered a deal to Dewey that could have possibly ensured him the highest elected position in the United States, the Presidency.

Carlos Marcello During the course of its investigation of specific organized crime leaders and their activities, the committee had devoted special attention to the degree to which such figures were subject to electronic surveillance by Federal or State agencies during the period of the early 1960's. In evaluating various assessments by organized crime specialists during the early 1960's, the committee had noted that the likelihood of identifying the commission of criminal acts by organized crime figures during that period varied with the scope of electronic surveillance of those figures. In early 1953, partly as aresult of the national attention he received from the Kefauver committee investigation, Marcello finally became the subject of deportation proceedings; these proceedings continued for over 25 years and were still being conducted in 1979. mcadams.posc.mu.edu /russ/jfkinfo/jfk9/Hscv9e.htm   (9744 words)

Luciano even toyed with the idea of dropping the syndicate's Mafia affiliation but was dissuaded by Lansky who felt that the specter of the Mafia would help them keep people in line even though at one point the Jewish members outnumbered the Sicilians.
