| Opplysninger | A riveting tale of great power, crime and betrayal. For much of the century, they were the most powerful force in American organised crime. But internal strife and the tireless work of law enforcement have brought this once-dominant organisation to its knees. The Gambino crime family ruled New York's streets for years. Today, there are only 200 members left of a force that used to number a thousand. BIOGRAPHY follows Carlo Gambino from his childhood in Sicily to the top of an empire that embraced everything from pizza joints to hi-jacking and extortion. He was the undisputed king of New York crime but, when he died, the Gambino fortunes started on a long decline that ended with the sentencing of John Gotti to life in prison. In the story of Gambino, Castellano and Gotti the history of the Mafia in America comes into focus. It's a riveting tale of greed, power, crime and betrayal.
