  • Summary

  • Vito Genovese didn’t rise from New York’s slums to rule La Cosa Nostra by playing nice. This episode unearths never-before-heard FBI wiretaps of Genovese ordering hits on rivals, bribing judges with gold-filled coffins, and orchestrating the infamous "Night of the Sicilian Vespers" purge. Discover how he betrayed Frank Costello in a Broadway ambush, manipulated J. Edgar Hoover to avoid deportation, and turned his wife into a heroin mule to fund his empire. Featuring interviews with retired NYPD detectives who found bodies buried under Genovese’s favorite bakery, this is the definitive story of the mob’s most calculating boss.
