Mafia Empire
Mafia Empire is a comprehensive investigation into the history of greed, treachery and violence of organized crime in America. The three-part documentary traces the origins of the five major crime families from their beginnings in Italy through today. The account includes shocking, first-hand testimony from former Mafioso, historians and government agents.
Beginning with bootlegging during the 1920s, the Mafia quickly developed a stronghold into other sectors: organized labor, entertainment, gambling and narcotics. However, their activities virtually went unchecked by J. Edgar Hoover´s FBI. It is widely believed that Hoover feared being exposed by the mob due to his alleged homosexuality. Thus, crime continued to run rampant and at its height, the Mafia´s influence spread throughout the country.
While the FBI´s success in prosecuting prominent family members may have weakened the old guard, a new wave of organized crime continues behind-the-scenes. The series also explores current wars being waged in global organized crime and looks at the new Mafia.
