The spies were created in 1914 during world war one to fight the undercover wars.

During the Second World War, Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini was the leader of the Italian Nationalist Fascist government. He was head of the Italian government from 1922 till 1943. The significance of Mussolini is that he played a key role acting as the Italian Prime Minister and established a totalitarian regime, during this time, as the unchallenged supreme leader, known as ‘Il Duce’. Fascism consisted of many contributors of which Mussolini with all his quirks was the key to most of its failures and successes, making him the most significant player that is worthy of being investigated. This topic is worthy of being investigated as Mussolini made a lot of decisions that lead to the death of many, but the question as to

In the case of United States v. Salerno, records indicate that the defendant, Anthony ‘Fat Tony’ Salerno and Vincent Cafaro were indicted on 29 counts of racketeering in addition to gambling violations, mail and wire fraud, extortion, gambling, and conspiracy to commit murder, all considered violations of the RICO Act (Racketeering, Influence, and Corrupt Organizations). Upon determination that Salerno was “the boss of the Genovese crime family of La Cosa Nostra crime family and Cafaro was a "captain" in the Genovese family” (United States v. Salerno, n.d.) and providing evidence of illegal activities via court-ordered wiretaps, the government established that no condition or combination of conditions would ensure the safety of any person

The promise of work and land inspired the immigration of the early 1900’s. The increased immigration of Europeans greatly shaped the American public. Newcomers settled together, creating distinct racial neighborhoods across the nation. Many of these culturally defined neighborhoods can be seen in New York. Millions of Italian immigrants came to America during this surge of migration, many settling in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, appropriately known as “Little Italy” (Bryan Web).

In the 1900’s, Luciano Leggio reinvented the way mafia and crime worked. He used new methods which brought him to become one of the most powerful men in a very mafia influenced community of Corleone. What made him different from other crime bosses had a lot to do with his recruiting methods. He initiated men not strictly from Corleone, but instead men who were already “men of honor” and kept their identities hidden from their family and other members of other Mafia groups. Leggio got his start when he was hired as an estate guard in the 1940’s where his crime riddled life immediately began. He started to take money from local landowners and take advantage of many people but eventually progressed to the livestock business. With the livestock

Henry is an inspirational and supporting godfather who has taught me many values as well as those of a family man. Without Henry I would not be who I am today, therefore I thank him.

Well, you know how I said he gives me a cut still? Well, uh, I’m kind of the master of all gambling stuff. You know, the typical stuff for an old Mafia guy. So I gambled. It was beautiful at first, won 243 grand in one hour, right on the spot. I kept the goods rollin’ in from the stuff, and for a while too. I felt like a god, a gambling god! Then I blews it up. All of it. Right after I met some guy, mysterious guy that said he was high up and could give me and the gang, even if I was retired from it or not, tons of vacation houses in Rome, each of us 2, and then get us some spots on the group that actually ran Italia! And of course, because I’m not some stoopid dumb guy, bet all the goods and stuffs, including a bunch of the gang’s stuff, on me winning just a simple game of cards. Just cards! Then, of course, I lost. Crazy man beat me under 30 seconds! He obviously is not someone high up in the ranks if he’s this good, probably wasted his entire life learning this peccato gigante di un gioco.

This is a criminal action that's purposely undertaken with the aim of acquiring influence, power and gain. It involves a few people that organize themselves on various hierarchical basis and they engage in both illegal and legal activities. The various positions might be assigned according to friendship or kinship notably hierarchical or skill. There is extreme readiness to use bribery or violence to maintain discipline and also to achieve targets that are intended. Organized offenses have taken different names determined by the area but ‘Mafia’ is a universal name that relates to numerous organized groups on the planet.

Russian organized crime in the United States is unique to traditional organized crime, specifically La Costa Notra, in several ways. These unique traits distinguish the abilities and operations of Russian organized crime. It is generally agreed by researchers and practitioners that Russian groups are generally less structured than Italian organized crime groups. Additionally, they have thrived by adapting to and exploiting technology. Many Russian organized crime members are highly educated, including Semyon Moglievich who had a degree in economics (Radanko, 2011). There are also Russian mafia members who have PH.D’s in mathematics, engineering, or physics (Friedman, 2000). Many law enforcement agencies characterize Russian organized crime as organized crime groups who primarily speak the Russian language, thus comprised of groups from different regions of the former Soviet Union. For the purposes of this paper, this author will follow the same guideline to characterize Russian organized crime.

Totalitarianism refers to a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state. Despite the common association between fascism and totalitarianism, and attempts by the Italian state to implement fascism in theory, in practice Italian fascism did not show the signs required of a totalitarian state.

The Italian Mafia in the U.S. can trace its origins all the way back to the Sicilian Mafia which was founded in Sicily during the 1800’s (Italian Organized Crime). After thousands of years of different armies with different nationalities conquering Italy and exploiting its people, the Sicilians became to be more clannish and family focused. Originally they were just resistance fighters that were protecting their friends and family. They were relied on for protection, justice, and survival. Nobody cared if they got money from it because it came from the oppressive authorities. Members of these groups were known as “Men of Honor” and they were well respected and even admired because they looked out for their family and kept silent sometimes even unto death. They didn’t become an organized crime group until the 1920’s however (Italian Organized Crime). It was around this same time that the US began to see what later became La Cosa Nostra or “our thing,” better known as the American Mafia which was aided by the “thousands of Italian organized crime figures, mostly Sicilian Mafiosi” who came to the United States illegally (Italian Organized Crime). The modern American Mafia is credited to Charles “Lucky” Luciano who came over in the 1920’s (Italian Organized Crime). Luciano structured La Cosa Nostra just like their Sicilian

The Russian Mafia: Protectionism in the New Capitalist Russia The Russian Mafia has always exercised an important role in the Russian economy. The contemporary mafiosi are descendents of the seventeenth Century highwaymen and Cossack robbers. These men occasionally murdered families prior to raids preventing them from being captured. The Russia mafiosi made a point to remain aloof from the state. Mob men were actually spurned when returning home from fighting in the Great Patriotic War. The gangs begin to dominate markets such as car sales, spare parts, cigarettes, food distribution, and other markets that the Communist Party failed to provide under the Bolsheviks (Remnick196). Since the collapse of Communism and the

Ermanno Sangiorgi was the police chief in Palermo at the time and he wrote an extensive report on the mafia of Sicily between 1898-1900 that would be the basis for the arrest and trial of 89 mafia members, among them Antonino Giammona. However, due to the political landscape at the time, most were released and only 32 criminals were convicted of belonging to a criminal network, i.e. the mafia. One of the people which Dickie points his fingers to as a possible villain in the story is Vincenzo Cosenza, the chief prosecutor (Dickie 2004). “Cosenza had written to the new Minister of the Interior and declared, ‘During the course of performing my duties I have never noticed the mafia” (Dickie, p110, 2004). This reveals a disturbing fact concerning the relationship between the mafia and the Italian state, namely that the mafia had already gained ground in the politics of the state and that the notion of the non-existing mafia became a leading viewpoint in Italian politics. The reason to why this claim hold some validation is that the politicians, or higher ups, such as a prosecutor, managed to influence a police-case to the extent that leading Mafioso’s such as Antonino Giammona was released and could resume their

Well you want to know about Leonardo da vinci. Let’s talk about him. Leonardo da vinci was born April 15, 1452. He then died on May 2, 1519 at the age of 67. Leonardo da vinci was known for his art and science smartness. It was honestly insane how smart he was by the time he was 18. When he was 18 he was doing all kind of sorts of stuff that was almost impossible. When Leonardo da vinci was 5 years old he was taken from his mom. He had very very little education but when he was 14 he was interested in anatomy which is the study of the human body. He was studying bones and all that is in the body and how it functions. When he saw what the human body looked like he then drew very detailed drawing in his notebooks. When he would them though he would draw them backwards. With all of the objects that he had seen with exploring a lot he found objects to make different machines or vehicles. When he would draw in the notebooks he would draw so many things that it kind got overwhelming. When he would draw some of the drawing he got so many ideas he couldn’t remember some of them because there were so many. When he would draw in his notebook he would just draw those things he would also do his sculptings and his weapons of war. He was also the one who painted one of the most famous paintings. The mona lisa. Around 1495, Ludovico Sforza, then the Duke of Milan, commissioned to leonardo da Vinci to paint ‘the last supper’ on the back wall of the dining hall inside the building of
