Confrontation mafias and the law of the second century is firmly in the public life of modern society.This is especially true of countries such as America and Italy.And many American gangsters, who left a significant mark in the history of the underworld United States, arrived there in the late XIX century, escaping from the fascist regime of Mussolini.This is due to the relative freedom and social order, and the imperfection of the legislation.Anyway, America was a country in which flocked people from different classes and states having trouble with the law and society in their homeland.For example, American Gangster 30s are widely developed and expanded its activities controlled territory through the "dry law" prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages.
As culture shaped by the people who have very serious problems with the rule of law, some of the "godfathers" mafias were shrouded in a kind of halo of glory and is well known throughout society.But while American gangsters, members of the "Cosa Nostra", were particularly brutal.By the way they were Italian or Americo-Italian roots origin.Although, of course, the United States has flourished not only the Italian mafia.All criminal organizations and gangster groups position themselves as "fighters for freedom and equality" that are only engaged in self-defense against social injustice.
most famous American gangster - is Al Capone.It is called the number one among the "distinguished" representatives of the Mafia.He was born in a family of Italian immigrants in Brooklyn, in 1919 because of problems with the law, he moved to Chicago and began working for Johnny Torrio.This is also not the mafia should get attention - he laid the foundation for the Syndicate.So named a commission on the distribution of areas of influence and conflict resolution.It included American gangsters of Italian Mafia families.After Johnny Torrio retired, Al Capone took his place.He loved the attention, was intellectually developed, but differed cruelty.His income he received from the control of prostitution, betting kontrollers and lessons from bootlegging.Smuggling of alcohol brought him the most revenue during the "dry law".It Capone gangsters unleashed a bloody war in 1925.But he was arrested for tax evasion.To prove the involvement of the mafia in the illicit trade in alcohol or murder it was not possible - there were no witnesses or simply silent.
deserves attention and the American gangster of Italian origin Frank Costello.He was born in Italy, and at the age of 4 years old he moved to America.In the United States at age 13, he was in a street gang.After his release from prison he took to his famous American gangster Charlie Luciano.With him Costello subsequently linked by strong bonds of friendship.If Capone ruled with the help of controlled violence, then this mafia was somewhat different method.It was a kind of link in the policies and criminals.By Don Costello turned many American gangsters to communicate with members of the government.And thanks to the close acquaintance with politicians, Frank avoid police harassment.
The fact that US culture is permeated with thoughts about the Mafia and its criminal activity, evidenced by the fact that they have been written many books and filmed many movies and documentaries.
