Wikipedia, Nov. 12, 2021 (Vito Genovese (November 21, 1897-February 14, 1969) was an Italian-born American mobster who mainly operated in the United States. With his release from custody in 1946, Genovese was able to rejoin the Luciano family in New York. In 1959, his reign was cut short as he was convicted on narcotics conspiracy charges and sentenced to 15 years in prison.)
