New Orleans
|
The first boss of the New Orleans outfit of La Cosa Nostra was Corrado Giacona, who was in power from the organization's
formation until his death in 1944. Frank Todaro succeeded him but was killed less than six months later in a move that was
said to be orchestrated by Silvestro Carollo, who ruled from 1944-1947. As a matter of fact, the New Orleans family is often
referred to as the Carollo family. Carlos Marcello became the boss in 1947 and was still in power in 1994. The New Orleans
family is famous for its possible involvement in the murder of President John F. Kennedy along with the Dallas, TX faction of
LCN. If you have ever seen the Oliver Stone movie JFK, it focuses on the possibility of a conspiracy and also the Mafia's
involvement in the assassination.
