During World War II the United States had a top secret operation, now a matter of public record, called “Operation Underworld.” It worked with the Mafia. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was, of course, very much in on it.
In the 1950s and 1960s J. Edgar Hoover insisted publicly that “The Mafia is a myth.” He did that because he couldn’t do anything about organized crime, so he declared it wasn’t there.
New York City paid more than double for its garbage collection because it had to deal with the Mafia. Everybody knew that. This went on for decades, until Mayor Giuliani took over.
