FORGERY
Music by Syon (Thomas Nicosia) Prelude in Em
Initially, counterfeiting and the spending of counterfeit notes was, together with the crimes of extortion and kidnapping, one of the first criminal activities, or rather a racket, in which the Italian criminals arrived in the new continent. On July 5, 1865, the federal government, and precisely the Treasury Department, set up secret services to counter counterfeiting. The first phenomena were evident in several cities in the United States such as New Orleans, Washington, Pittsburgh, and clearly they could not miss in New York. The American intelligence branch was headed by an Irish officer named William Flynn. He was an imposing man, very astute and determined.

NEW ORLEANS - THE FACTS

NEW ORLEANS - THE FACTS

Contrary to popular belief, the Mafia made its first officially documented appearance in the United States in 1890 in New Orleans and not New York. On October 5, 1890, New Orleans police chief Captain Hennessy was killed in an ambush by some men, In that city in the south of the United States there was a feud between the criminal families of the Provenzano and that of the Matragna. Following the murder, 19 Italian residents were arrested there. The suspects were imprisoned in the parish prison. At the end of the trial in March, some of them were acquitted. This determined the inhabitants' violent reaction so much so that the next day a huge crowd formed outside the prison. The troublemakers forced the prison doors and 11 of the arrested were lynched to death. Notable is the ruling of the Grand Jury of New Orleans, which in 1891, called to rule on those criminal facts, ruled: "The extent of our investigation has identified the existence of the secret organization called mafia."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.
