Taking Down the Fbi's Most Wanted Mafia Godfathers: Frank Costello & Vito Genovese

Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, notorious Mafia godfathers of the mid-20th century, met their downfall through the relentless pursuit of law enforcement. In 1957, Costello was gunned down outside his Manhattan apartment by Vincent Gigante, a young mobster seeking power. Meanwhile, Genovese, known for his violent reign, was finally convicted in 1959 for his involvement in the infamous "Apalachin Meeting" of crime bosses. Both men faced decades in prison, serving as a testament to the FBI's unwavering determination to dismantle the infamous Five Families of New York City and bring down the most powerful criminal figures of their time.
