Albert Anastasia

Umberto "Albert" Anastasia was an Italian-American mobster, hitman, and criminal leader who lived from September 26, 1902, to October 25, 1957. He was a co-founder and eventually the boss of the Murder, Inc. organization, one of the forerunners of the contemporary American Mafia. In Brooklyn, Anastasia was accused of killing a man, but the witnesses either vanished or declined to appear in court. The Castellammarese War between Salvatore Maranzano and Joe Masseria started in the beginning of 1931. Masseria's family was taken over by Luciano, who had Genovese as his subordinate.
Thousands of murders were committed by Murder Inc., many of which were never identified. The "Mad Hatter" and the "Lord High Executioner" were two of Anastasia's monikers. The Commission was put to the test for the first time in 1935 when Dutch Schultz was told to abandon his plot to kill Special Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey. Anastasia arranged a deal for Mario Luciano, the head of the Mafia, to receive lenient treatment and eventually parole during World War II. He moved to America.
Pennsylvania's Army has trained soldiers to work as longshoremen. A grand jury determined in 1951 that Reles unintentionally passed away while descending to the fifth level using sheets fastened to a heating radiator. Under Vincent Mangano's leadership, Anastasia was the Mangano criminal family's nominal underboss. Mangano vanished in 1951, and his body was never discovered. An arrest was made for fugitive bank robber Willie Sutton after a New York man named Anastasia allegedly gave the order to kill him.
As a result of underreporting his income, New York mafia lord Joseph Genovese Angelo Anastasia entered a guilty plea to tax evasion in 1954. He received a one-year federal prison term along with a $20,000 fine. The Patriarca crime family of Providence, Rhode Island, some drug traffickers inside the Gambino family, and Profaci crime family mobster Joe Gallo have all been mentioned as possible suspects in his murder. In the case, nobody was put on trial. From 1947 until his murder, mobster Anastasia resided in a house in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
The home was just sold for $6.9 million, and in March 2019 it will be torn down. His murder was alluded to in the Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal movie Analyze This from 1999. Several works of literature, including The Shining and The Sopranos, make reference to Anastasia's death. Don Alberto Clemente, who is partially modeled after Anastasia in Mafia II, is infamous for breaking mafia rules by attempting to "sell" manufactured men.
