Organized Crime: The Mafia And Their History In The State Of California (9/21/24)

Costa Rica, known for its peaceful image and eco-tourism, has become a crucial transit hub in the global narcotics trade due to its strategic location between drug-producing nations in South America and major markets in North America and Europe. With over 800 miles of coastline, the country has become a key point for drug smuggling by cartels, particularly the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartels, which have also fueled rising violence and corruption within the nation. The influx of drug money has led to increased money laundering, particularly through tourism, real estate, and legitimate businesses. Despite efforts to combat trafficking through international cooperation and enhanced law enforcement, Costa Rica's future remains precarious as the nation struggles with mounting cartel influence, violence, and institutional corruption, threatening its identity as a stable, peaceful democracy.(commercial at 8:37)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Mafia's history in California is a complex and captivating tale of power, violence, and influence that spanned nearly a century. Beginning in the early 1900s with Sicilian immigrants like Vito Di Giorgio and Joseph "Iron Man" Ardizzone, the Mafia established roots in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Prohibition fueled their rise, with figures like Jack Dragna and Mickey Cohen controlling bootlegging, gambling, and labor racketeering, often clashing in violent power struggles. By the 1950s, the Mafia’s reach extended into Hollywood and Las Vegas, but law enforcement crackdowns in the 1970s and high-profile informants like Jimmy Fratianno led to its decline. Today, while the Mafia's influence is a shadow of its former self, its legacy endures, overshadowed by the rise of international criminal organizations like Mexican drug cartels.(commercial at 8:56)to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
