1:01
children in 1919 Anastasia and his
1:04
brothers illegally entered the United
1:06
States after deserting a freighter they
1:09
worked on in New York they soon began
1:11
working as long shoreman on the Brooklyn
1:13
Waterfront Anastasia quickly discovered
1:15
that life on the Brooklyn docks was no
1:17
fairy tale the docks when Anastasia
1:20
first arrived were a deadly and
1:22
practically Lawless place in no time the
1:25
young and Burly Anastasia established
1:27
himself as a feared figure in this V
1:29
violent Arena he was a strong guy with
1:32
enormous hands for his size they were
1:34
like steel if he hit you you felt it it
1:37
wasn't unusual for a single punch from
1:39
him to break one of your bones being
1:41
known as a tough guy led to
1:43
opportunities to make money at 18
1:45
Anastasia was ready to take the step
1:47
from violence to Crime at that time
1:49
there was a lot of theft with people
1:51
stealing things from shipments shipments
1:54
that never reached their intended
1:55
destinations Anastasia soon commanded a
1:58
successful gang of dock thieves
2:00
however his success brought him into
2:02
competition with a rival on the Brooklyn
2:03
docks a man named Joe Torino Anastasia
2:07
doesn't know it but a brutal chain of
2:09
events will catapult him into infamy as
2:11
far as Torino is concerned if Anastasia
2:14
wants to operate on his docks he will
2:16
have to pay for the privilege Torino
2:18
wants a cut of the action but Anastasia
2:20
has decided he will not let anyone
2:22
extort money from him as the dispute
2:24
becomes physical neither side backs down
2:27
eventually Anastasia erupts in UNC
2:29
rollable rage in front of witnesses
2:32
Anastasia beats Torino to death killing
2:35
wasn't unusual on the violent Brooklyn
2:37
Waterfront in those days but not this
2:39
kind of murder this act was etched in
2:42
the minds of the witnesses and each one
2:44
reported it to the police it was clear
2:46
that Anastasia enjoyed it obviously
2:49
Anastasia would pay for taking this life
2:52
the docks might be a violent world but
2:54
when a man is beaten to death in front
2:56
of dozens of people the police will take
2:58
action convicted Ed for the murder of
3:00
Torino Anastasia was sentenced to death
3:03
in the notorious Sing Sing prison in New
3:05
York yet even there not even the Spectre
3:08
of execution can tame him he continues
3:11
beating people including his fellow
3:13
prisoners Anastasia is as violent as
3:16
ever and even hardened convicts don't
3:18
feel safe around him Anastasia's violent
3:21
and ruthless reputation Works in his
3:23
favor when one of his outbursts is
3:25
noticed by a particular inmate the
3:27
prison Barber but this Barber isn't just
3:29
a Barber he's a scout for prolific
3:31
criminal gangs operating outside the
3:34
prison and Anastasia intrigues him he
3:37
thinks this guy has potential the barber
3:40
believes Anastasia's skill set could be
3:42
ideal for a particular client that
3:44
client is an upand cominging liutenant
3:46
in one of New York's most powerful
3:47
Italian gangs Charles lucky
3:50
luano luano was the quintessential mafia
3:53
boss ruthless knowing what he wanted and
3:56
unafraid to go after it in the New York
3:59
of the 1920s Luciano's gang was one of
4:02
many involved in a violent War for
4:04
control of the lucrative illegal alcohol
4:06
trade coincidentally alcohol is a
4:09
commodity that Luciano can provide if he
4:11
can secure a constant Supply therefore
4:14
Luciano needs to control the Brooklyn
4:16
docks a key source of illegally imported
4:19
alcohol flowing into the city the barber
4:21
believes that Anastasia's violent
4:23
reputation and intimate knowledge of the
4:25
docks could be invaluable to Luciano but
4:29
there is a a problem Anastasia is facing
4:32
the electric chair for a man like
4:34
Luciano however this is just a small
4:37
obstacle first Luciano uses top tier
4:40
lawyers to arrange a last minute stay of
4:42
execution for the young killer the
4:44
lawyers secure a new trial by getting
4:46
Anastasia's original conviction
4:48
overturned Luciano's connections managed
4:51
to have the conviction dismissed on
4:53
technicalities Anastasia entered prison
4:55
as a violent young man but in 1922 with
4:58
Luciano pulling the strings a
5:00
transformed Anastasia walks out of death
5:03
row and into a new life the legend of
5:05
Albert was born everyone talked about
5:08
the guy who beat the chair owing his
5:10
life to Luciano it was time for
5:12
Anastasia to return the favor fresh out
5:15
of prison he was sent to the front lines
5:17
of the alcohol war between Italians and
5:20
Irish on the Brooklyn docks the fight
5:22
between Italians and Irish for control
5:24
of the Waterfront was serious business
5:27
in no time Anastasia proved his worth to
5:29
the Italians he was a very valuable
5:32
Soldier and as everyone quickly
5:34
discovered a psychopath if someone told
5:37
him to kill a guy he would say okay and
5:39
do it without
5:41
remorse by the late 1920s Anastasia had
5:44
become one of the key leaders of the
5:46
international long shoreman's
5:47
Association controlling six local
5:49
chapters of the Union in
5:51
Brooklyn as part of the violent Mafia
5:54
disputes in New York the castal laar war
5:57
erupted in early 1931 between Joe Mia
6:01
and Salvatore Marano Lucky Luciano
6:04
wanted to take control he wanted to
6:06
restructure all organized crime so that
6:09
everyone would work together regardless
6:11
of their Heritage Luciano wanted the
6:13
only interest at stake to be making
6:15
money to achieve this he needed to
6:17
eliminate the two bosses involved in the
6:19
castellamare war both traditionalist and
6:22
dictatorial leaders who adhered to
6:24
certain ethnic codes that seemingly
6:26
limited Luciano's ambitious vision for
6:28
the mafia the first Target was Joe
6:31
miseria however Luciano needed a
6:33
trustworthy killer and had to select
6:35
four gunmen for the job these had to be
6:38
perfect and one of those chosen was
6:40
Albert Anastasia Mia was killed while
6:43
dining at a restaurant in Coney Island
6:46
reports indicate that while he was
6:47
playing cards the Assassins who were
6:50
never officially identified or captured
6:52
entered the restaurant and shot him
6:55
repeatedly carrying out this task
6:57
established Anastasia in Luciano's eyes
6:59
as someone who could be completely
7:01
trusted several months later the plan
7:04
was completed when Luciano had the
7:06
remaining boss salvator Marano brutally
7:09
murdered with Marano's death Luciano put
7:13
an end to the castella maray war and
7:15
laid the groundwork for the creation of
7:17
the commission a sort of centralized
7:19
government for New York's five mafia
7:22
families this promoted an era of
7:24
relative peace and organization among
7:27
the various criminal factions with his
7:30
coup complete Luciano could finally
7:32
achieve his vision of a perfectly
7:34
organized criminal Enterprise and knew
7:36
exactly where Anastasia would fit in
7:39
Luciano was not opposed to violence if
7:42
murders needed to be committed they
7:44
would be what he needed was a force that
7:46
would comply a body that would kill on
7:49
behalf of the commission this group of
7:51
Hitmen would later be dubbed by the
7:52
press as Murder Inc Luciano decided they
7:56
needed a group of professional assassins
7:58
to carry out necessary killings and one
8:00
of those chosen to lead this group of
8:02
Hitmen was his favorite killer Albert
8:05
Anastasia Anastasia was the perfect
8:07
model within the mafia recognized as a
8:10
ruthless and unfl flappable killer thus
8:13
with orders from the commission all
8:15
future assassinations would be carried
8:17
out by these professional Killers hits
8:19
were no longer personal vendettas they
8:21
were business Luciano imposed strict
8:24
rules governing how Anastasia and the
8:26
new crime syndicate should operate one
8:29
of the main rules was Thou shalt not
8:31
kill a boss that was an absolute nogo
8:35
they didn't kill politicians judges or
8:37
prosecutors due to the intense backlash
8:39
such murders would cause with these
8:41
rules in mind Anastasia was now ready to
8:44
kill whoever luano instructed him to
8:47
Luciano's vision of multinational
8:49
cooperation was taking shape while the
8:52
Italian Anastasia worked with the Jewish
8:54
Louie LEP Balter to carry out sanctioned
8:56
killings Anastasia proved to be the
8:59
perfect person for this job luano being
9:02
Italian instructed Anastasia who then
9:04
worked closely with Lepa it's estimated
9:07
that Murder Inc committed thousands of
9:09
murders during its 10 years of operation
9:11
many of which were never solved with a
9:14
new way of killing came a new way of
9:15
speaking an assassination order was
9:18
called a
9:19
contract sometimes the body was left on
9:21
display as part of what they called the
9:23
advertising budget someone who had
9:26
stolen money might be found with their
9:27
hands cut off some who talked too much
9:30
with their tongue cut out seeing
9:32
Anastasia at the helm of it all but far
9:35
from staying on the sidelines Anastasia
9:37
was an actively participating leader he
9:40
could have simply said you know what
9:42
kill this guy but he didn't he enjoyed
9:44
killing and being part of it it said he
9:47
personally participated in 60 murders he
9:50
was a guy who could just go out and kill
9:52
without remorse but The Merchant of
9:54
death was a home loving psychopath they
9:57
used to say he was a devil on the street
9:59
and an angel at home and that's
10:02
basically what he was he was married to
10:04
Elsa a Canadian immigrant 16 years
10:07
younger than him who loved him dearly
10:10
from 9 to 5 he was out there executing
10:12
people but back home in New Jersey he
10:15
led a fairly quiet life the mafia
10:17
commission was tested for the first time
10:19
in 1935 when Dutch Schulz was told to
10:22
abandon his plans to kill special
10:24
prosecutor Thomas dwey according to
10:26
Luciano Dewey's murder would lead to
10:29
severe police crackdowns and the
10:31
syndicates rules were already known an
10:33
enraged Schulz left the meeting after
10:36
threatening to kill dwey out of anger
10:38
Anastasia informed Luciano that Schultz
10:41
had asked him to surveil Dewey's
10:42
apartment complex on Fifth Avenue
10:45
another version suggests that Anastasia
10:47
also had a strong desire to eliminate
10:49
the metalsome Dewey ultimately the
10:51
commission called for a secret meeting
10:53
to discuss the situation and they
10:55
decided to eliminate Schulz after
10:58
deliberating for nearly hours on June
11:00
7th 1936 reasons seemed to be on
11:03
schulz's side at least as far as Lucky
11:05
Luciano was concerned Luciana was
11:08
convicted on 62 counts of forced
11:11
prostitution as a result of an
11:13
investigation conducted by Unice Carter
11:16
Eunice Carter who belonged to Thomas
11:18
Dewey's investigative office was
11:20
sentenced to 30 to 50 years in prison on
11:23
July 18th
11:25
1936 after Luciano's imprisonment the
11:28
crime syndicate led by Anastasia
11:29
suffered another heavy blow their
11:31
Nemesis Thomas dwey decided that his
11:34
friend Lepa buchalter was the next
11:36
Target word spread that lepka was next
11:39
on Dewey's hit list then in November
11:41
1936 with a murder charge against him
11:44
Lepa had to flee for many years Louie
11:47
Lepa bukala had been known as the worst
11:50
industrial racketeer in the United
11:52
States fearing for his friend and crime
11:55
partner Anastasia used Marano's Hitmen
11:58
Network to keep keep Lepa hidden for a
12:00
long time some say he was abroad perhaps
12:03
in Jerusalem a reward of $10,000 was
12:06
offered to anyone providing information
12:08
leading to his arrest but it turned out
12:11
he had been in Brooklyn all along now
12:14
fearing lepy might face a fate similar
12:16
to lucano's Anastasia took action and
12:18
prepared to dismantle Dewey's case this
12:21
time he didn't hold back he was a guy
12:23
who believed that Witnesses had to
12:25
disappear if someone God forbid saw him
12:28
kill someone that person was as good as
12:30
dead Anastasia made sure there was no
12:32
one who could testify against him in
12:34
court with a list of informants provided
12:36
by lepi he put the crime syndicate to
12:39
work eliminating key Witnesses five
12:42
former Associates of lepy had been shot
12:44
and two had disappeared one had to be
12:46
found dead or alive but there was a
12:49
problem none other than FBI director Jay
12:52
Edgar Hoover now insisted that lepy must
12:54
be caught so Dewey's team increased the
12:57
pressure there was too much at stake
13:00
this had to end the commission called
13:02
Anastasia and presented him with a
13:04
shocking solution they would have to
13:06
sacrifice Lepa to protect themselves and
13:08
Anastasia would play a vital role in
13:10
this action they told him this is what
13:13
we're going to do because you're the
13:15
only one lepy really trusts you'll
13:17
deceitfully tell him that we've agreed
13:19
to a deal with
13:20
Dewey facing the ultimate predicament
13:23
Anastasia would have to betray his
13:25
friend acting on these orders Anastasia
13:28
meets with lepy and convinces him that
13:30
there's an agreement that will save him
13:31
from the death penalty lepy believes him
13:34
after all they've worked closely
13:36
together and Anastasia has given him
13:38
orders and seen him kill people he has
13:41
no reason to believe Anastasia would lie
13:43
to him on August 24th 1939 after an
13:46
astonishing three years on the Run
13:49
Anastasia leads the unsuspecting lepy to
13:51
a meeting with the FBI where he believes
13:54
he'll surrender in exchange for leniency
13:56
but Anastasia has betrayed his friend
13:58
and CRI partner there is no deal lepy
14:01
obediently surrenders and of course
14:03
immediately faces serious charges 5
14:06
years later on March 4th 1944 Lepa
14:09
becomes the only major Mafia member to
14:11
be executed in the electric chair a
14:13
burden Anastasia would carry for the
14:15
rest of his life if he ever felt remorse
14:18
about anything this would likely be the
14:20
only time he had to sacrifice a friend
14:23
but he knows there's little he can do
14:24
about it on the other hand while Lep's
14:27
movie was running Morris sond who was
14:30
known for resisting Mafia control
14:31
attempts over unions especially in the
14:33
Garment district in Manhattan was
14:35
allegedly murdered by Anastasia in May
14:38
1939 according to subsequent accusations
14:42
Anastasia was also accused of planning
14:44
the murder of Peter panto in the summer
14:46
of
14:46
1939 panto was an activist with the
14:49
international long shoreman's
14:50
Association leading a push for
14:52
Democratic reforms in the Union's local
14:54
chapters and refusing to be intimidated
14:57
by association officials
14:59
panto disappeared on July 14th 1939 and
15:03
his body was not found until later on a
15:05
farm in New Jersey the effective end of
15:08
Murder Inc occurred when AB rels a
15:11
Brownsville gang leader who had been
15:12
providing Hitmen to Anastasia and the
15:14
organization for 10 years was captured
15:17
by the police realis decided to
15:19
cooperate with the government to avoid
15:21
execution which resulted in the
15:23
conviction of seven union members
15:25
interestingly reis's statements also
15:28
played a part part in further
15:29
implicating Lepa Balter rais had
15:32
knowledge that could link Anastasia to
15:34
the murders of panto and diamond and
15:37
some hallway rumors suggest that
15:38
Anastasia offered a $1,000 reward for
15:41
reis's murder rais had to disappear for
15:44
fear of legal action the attention
15:47
surrounding Anastasia posed a clear and
15:49
present danger it was something that
15:51
needed to be addressed
15:53
immediately ultimately realis was found
15:56
dead after falling from his room onto
15:58
the roof of a restaurant in a hotel in
16:00
Coney Island on November 12th
16:03
1941 surprisingly he was under police
16:06
custody and it was never precisely
16:08
determined who ordered his murder and
16:10
how it was possible to carry it out Reis
16:13
was always remembered as the canary that
16:15
could sing but couldn't fly perhaps the
16:18
commission intervened to save Anastasia
16:20
or maybe it was Anastasia himself who
16:22
saved his own skin but no matter what
16:25
even though rais never made it to
16:26
testify the crime syndicat suffered the
16:29
aftermath of Thomas Dewey's Relentless
16:32
campaign three more members of The
16:34
Syndicate were sent to the electric
16:35
chair with two of them becoming State
16:38
Witnesses so with luano Behind Bars and
16:41
these hard hits the commission dissolved
16:44
the crime syndicate and relegated
16:46
Anastasia to a new position within the
16:48
Mangano criminal family for Anastasia
16:51
this was a slap in the face he felt he
16:54
was ready to be the king he didn't want
16:55
to be second fiddle he wasn't in the
16:58
mood to follow the commission's rules
17:00
and it didn't take long before Anastasia
17:02
showed how dangerous he could be but
17:04
before causing any trouble in his new
17:06
family he needed to gain more ground in
17:08
his reputation within the surrounding
17:10
Circle reportedly Anastasia was also The
17:14
Mastermind behind the idea of using the
17:16
war effort to secure Luciano's release
17:18
from prison during World War II it said
17:21
that Anastasia orchestrated a deal to
17:23
get a lighter sentence for Luciano
17:25
eventually securing Parole in exchange
17:27
for Mafia protection action on the
17:29
waterfront and Luciano's assistance with
17:31
his associates in Sicily as the United
17:34
States needed allies in Sicily to
17:36
advance the invasion of Italy in 1942
17:39
Anastasia joined the US Army seemingly
17:42
motivated by a desire to escape the
17:45
criminal investigation that dismantled
17:47
the crime syndicate he achieved the rank
17:50
of technical Sergeant training soldiers
17:52
to be stevors in
17:54
1943 as a reward for his military
17:56
service he was granted us citizenship
17:59
the following year Anastasia was
18:01
honorably discharged and moved with his
18:03
family to a farm somewhere in New Jersey
18:06
in 1948 he purchased a dress Factory in
18:09
Pennsylvania relinquishing his Port
18:11
activities to his brother Anthony
18:13
despite only a few years passing
18:15
Anastasia had already become a powerful
18:17
Mafia figure in his own right he
18:20
currently served as the underboss of the
18:22
Mangano criminal family which was led by
18:25
Vincent Mangano Mangano had harbored
18:27
resentment towards Anastasia's close
18:29
ties with Luciano and his actions over
18:32
their 20-year Reign especially hiring
18:35
Anastasia's services without Mangano's
18:37
consent the two Mobsters had numerous
18:40
heated almost physical arguments over
18:42
business matters eventually Vincent

Mangano disappeared on April 19th 1951

and his body was never found Phillip
18:52
Vincent's brother was found dead on the
18:54
same day although no one was ever
18:57
arrested in connection with the ano's
18:59
murders speculation widely circulated
19:02
that Anastasia was behind their deaths
19:05
Anastasia who had been acting as the
19:07
head of the Mangano family at the time
19:09
of their deaths appeared before the
19:11
commission claiming that the brothers
19:13
had wanted to kill him however he
19:16
refused to confess to their murders
19:18
despite some doubts the mafia commission
19:21
agreed to elevate Anastasia to the
19:23
position of boss of the Mangano criminal
19:25
family which would now be known as the
19:27
Anastasia fact action one of those who
19:30
supported Anastasia's Ascent was the
19:32
well-known Mafia prime minister Frank
19:35
Costello who saw Anastasia as an ally
19:38
against the ambitious and resentful veto
19:41
genovesi Joseph banano who simply wished
19:44
to avoid a gang war also backed
19:46
Anastasia if any commission members
19:49
still had doubts about Anastasia's
19:50
Psychopathic profile they would have
19:52
fewer now Arnold Schuster a New Yorker
19:56
who helped capture bank robber Willie
19:57
Sutton was allegedly murdered by
20:00
Anastasia in March
20:01
1952 Schuster who had no connections to
20:05
the police or organized crime simply
20:07
recognized Sutton on the street from
20:09
seeing his photo in the newspaper and
20:11
decided to follow him and alert the
20:13
authorities leading to Sutton's capture
20:16
it is said that Anastasia saw Schuster
20:18
being interviewed on television and
20:20
allegedly said I can't stand informance
20:23
get rid of that guy Schuster was shot
20:25
dead on a Brooklyn Street on March 8th
20:27
in connection with his murder no one was
20:29
ever arrested on the other hand power
20:32
hungry veto genovesi needed to get rid
20:35
of Costello to take control of the
20:37
family Luciano genoves sought allies
20:40
because he couldn't achieve it without
20:41
also eliminating Anastasia a strong
20:44
Castello Ally so he portrayed Anastasia
20:47
as an unstable killer threatening to
20:49
disrupt laosan norra under legal
20:52
pressure through his brutal actions veto
20:54
genovesi began talking to other
20:56
commission members saying look I told
20:59
you this guy's a lunatic he's a
21:00
homicidal maniac he's doing crazy things
21:04
veto genovesi is an ascending boss
21:06
ambitious and calculating eager to
21:08
eliminate any competition genoves is
21:11
everything Anastasia is not if your
21:14
ultimate goal is the top spot genovesi
21:16
has little trouble persuading a nervous
21:18
commission that Anastasia is a major
21:21
threat in an effort to gain followers
21:23
genovesi also cited the selling of
21:26
memberships in the Anastasia criminal
21:28
family for
21:29
$50,000 as another clear instance of
21:31
commission rule infringement many
21:34
high-ranking mafiosos were infuriated by
21:36
this others claimed that Anastasia had
21:39
been losing a lot of money in horse
21:40
races making him even more irritable and
21:43
unpredictable in the following years
21:46
genovesi subtly gained the support of
21:48
Carlo Gambino by promising him control
21:50
over Anastasia's family in exchange for
21:53
his cooperation with genovese's green
21:56
light the wheels of murder were set in
21:58
motion
21:59
but first genovesi decided to act
22:01
against Costello in early 1957 Costello
22:05
was shot by Vincent Gigante outside his
22:08
apartment complex on May 2nd
22:10
1957 though the injury was minor
22:13
Costello was persuaded to seed control
22:15
to genevi and as a result Frank scales
22:18
Anastasia's underboss and the man
22:20
allegedly directly responsible for
22:22
selling memberships was also murdered on
22:25
June 17th of that same year now an
22:28

Sheran hotel in Manhattan Anastasia's
22:39

22:41
his vehicle in an underground garage and
22:43
taking a stroll outside two men with
22:46
their faces covered by scarves burst
22:48
into the barber shop while Anastasia was
22:51
seated calmly in the chair they shoved
22:53
the barber aside and opened fire on him

23:16
public interest and sparked a
23:17
high-profile police
23:19

mafia members of the prachi crime family

Joe Gallow and some drug dealers from

The Gambino family initially it was
