 Lucky Luciano. That's a great picture or a great piece of artwork. Look at that. Lucky Luciano. And this is card number five, I believe. Isn't it? Card number six. Card number six. Lucky Luciano. Lucky Luciano. It's got a little moon. Operation Underworld. Card number six. During prohibition, Jewish gangsters like Meyer Lansky and Arnold the Brain Rothstein controlled the heroin trade, while Italian and Irish mobsters concentrated on bootlegging. But in 1931, with the end of prohibition in sight, the Italian mafia led by Salvatore C. Luciano, aka also known as Lucky Luciano, forged an alliance with Lansky and moved into the heroin business. In 1936, Luciano was convicted of forced prostitution. His incarceration in the U.S., combined with Benito Mussolini's crackdown on the Sicilian mafia, mafia was a major blow to the syndicate's heroin operations. But World War II gave the mafia a new lease on life. Concerned with German sabotage on New York's waterfront, the U.S. Navy, through Lansky, convinced Luciano to enlist his gang in protecting East Coast docks. Luciano also arranged for Sicily's mafia to help the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943. As a result of these successful operations, and perhaps aided by $250,000 in contributions, Lansky had given to New York Governor, New York Governor Thomas Duly's election campaign. Luciano was released by Duly and deported to Italy in 1946. In 1947, intent on rebuilding their heroin empire, Luciano and Lansky met in Havana with the U.S. leaders of organized crime. Lansky was entrusted with managing the syndicate's finances and negotiating with suppliers. Florida mafioso Santos Traficant Senior was designated to run local heroin operations. Cuba became the major transit point for Luciano's heroin shipments. At first, obtained by diverting Italy's legally produced pharmaceutical heroin, Italy authorities soon disrupted this source, but by then there were new suppliers. Corsican gangs led by the Giorini brothers who ran heroin labs in Marseille. Lucky Luciano!
