Why Has Nobody Told You About Capone's Cousins?
Dec 9, 2025
Everyone knows Al Capone. Nobody knows the cousins who inherited his empire and made it ten times bigger.
This documentary exposes the Fischetti Brothers—Charlie, Rocco, and Joseph—Al Capone's blood relatives who silently took control when Scarface went to prison and built a criminal dynasty that lasted fifty years. We're investigating how they transformed a regional bootlegging operation into a national enterprise controlling Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Chicago's underworld.
You'll discover how Charlie Fischetti invented the mob's Hollywood shakedown that extracted millions from major studios. Why Rocco Fischetti served as the Outfit's national diplomat, negotiating with crime families across America. The true nature of Joseph Fischetti's relationship with Frank Sinatra and how it shaped Las Vegas. The secret 1943 meeting at Chicago's Drake Hotel that created the first national entertainment industry conspiracy. And why the FBI spent four decades investigating the brothers without achieving significant convictions.
This investigation draws from FBI surveillance archives, Kefauver Committee testimonies, IRS financial investigations, and court records that document the family's incredible rise. Every claim verified. Every secret exposed.
