Sam Giancana Career

Early criminal career

Giancana was a member of the 42 Gang, a youth street crew under Joseph Esposito's leadership. (The 42 Gang's name was a reference to Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. They thought they were one of the best, hence 42. Giancana quickly established themselves as a top getaway driver, a high earner, and a brutal killer. The 42 Gang was turned into a de facto extension of the Chicago Outfit following Esposito's murder, in which Giancana was reportedly involved, by Frank "the Enforcer" Nitti, Paul "the Waiter" Ricca, and Tony "Joe Batters" Accardo. He was first arrested in 1925 for auto theft. He morphed into "triggerman" quickly, and by the age of 20, he had been the prime suspect in three murder probes, but no one had signed up for any of them. Giancana was found guilty of robbery and larceny in 1929 and sentenced to one-year in the Joliet Correctional Center. He was released in 1932 after serving three years and nine months.

Giancana was the first 42er to join the Chicago Outfit in the late 1930s. He dominated the majority of the illicit gaming, illicit alcohol sale, and a few other political rackets in Louisiana from the 1940s to the 1950s, according to longtime friend H. A. Killian, the Holl. Killian was in charge of the majority of the liquor license issuance by his friendship with longtime New Orleans business associate Carlos Marcello. Giancana was found guilty of bootlegging and was sentenced to four years in Leavenworth Prison and the Terre Haute Federal Correctional Complex in 1939.

According to a new book, Frank Sinatra admired mafia chiefs and served as their courier

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 7, 2022
Frank Sinatra was 'almost married to the crowd,' according to a recent book, despite openly denying that he had any links to organized crime for the bulk of his life and career. In upcoming biography, Frank Sinatra and the Mafia Murders, new information about the legendary mafia bosses, including notorious mobster Bugsy Siegel and Sinatra's role as a mafia courier, is set to be revealed on Thursday, September 8. Sinatra, who was known for championing his working-class Italian roots, had vehemently denied allegations or suspicion that he was also associated with the Italian mafia, slamming the allegations as "vicious lies" during his long career.' Sinatra was actually so enthralled by gangsters that he even wanted to imitate a notorious mobster bug, Bugsy Siegel (bottom left) who chopped up his victims with axes, according to authors Douglas Thompson and Mike Rothmiller. The mafia is also accused of starting Sinatra's career and investing $50,000 on his image as an 'investment' that was then compelled to pay back in favors. Sinatra was also 'central to the scheme' of becoming socialite,' according to the book, who was sleeping with mob boss Sam Giancana close to JFK (right).
