黑手黨(Mafia),一個飄蕩在西方百年曆史中揮之不去的黑暗力量,它是怎樣的組織形式,曾經造成怎樣的影響?馬龍.白蘭度在其巔峰之作《教父》中為我們成功刻畫了一個Mafia首領形象,或許多數人都是看了這部經典影片才知曉一些關於Mafia的情況,也許很多人也才知道了Mafia的存在!原因在於Mafia的組織過於嚴密,推崇行事低調,恪守緘默。似乎離普通人很遠,但有時身邊的突發事件有讓人們不得不考慮它的存在!本專輯共四部,通過大量的曆史資料和當事人、法官及探案人員的口述向我們徐徐展開一個關於Mafia的真實描述!
第二集: Going Global
The heroin trade boosted the fortunes of the Mafia in America during the 1960s but the fortunes it brought and the divisions it caused among the Italian mobster families ultimately sowed the seeds of their own destruction. Masterminding the trade was the ruthless and greedy Carmine Galante, head of the Bonanno family and his band of Sicilian killers, assassins who operated under the radar of law enforcement.
The Sicilian Mafia were smuggling vast amounts of heroin into New York inside foodstuffs, distributed via Sicilian-owned restaurants in Brooklyn, hence it was dubbed 'the pizza connection'. But as the reckless Galante operated without the approval of the mob's board of directors, known as the Commission, sneered at their reticence about dealing in drugs and refused to share enough of the heroin proceeds with them, it was decided he had to go.
