| Publisher Description: From Gotti to Gigante, the names atop today's Mafia organizational charts are old ones. But the times have certainly changed for New York's biggest families-and not for the better. In this book we will look at New York City's Five Families. All have bookmaking, loan-sharking, and extortion rackets. The Genovese family and, to a lesser degree, the Lucchese family (like the Gambinos) also have viable labor-racketeering endeavors that let them invest and launder their ill-gotten gains in "legitimate" industries. Every Family has declined as of late, some more than others. |
