How Mafia Made Millions From New York's Garment District

They didn’t rob banks or smuggle drugs — they owned the streets of Manhattan’s fashion empire. For fifty years, the Italian-American Mafia, led by the Gambino crime family, quietly turned New York’s Garment District into a multi-million-dollar racket. Through union control, trucking monopolies, and silent extortion, the mob taxed every bolt of cloth and every delivery truck that passed through Seventh Avenue. From the 1940s sewing floors to the 1980s RICO trials, this is the real story of how organized crime built its fortune from the clothes on America’s back. Based entirely on verified historical records, FBI investigations, and contemporary reports, this episode of American Gangster History reveals the business side of the Mafia — where violence was replaced by paperwork, and loyalty was bought with envelopes of cash. 📍 Featuring: Carlo Gambino’s quiet takeover of Manhattan’s garment trade Thomas Gambino’s trucking monopoly and “consultant” network Paul Castellano’s white-collar empire and the Sparks Steak House hit FBI raids, RICO indictments, and the fall of a billion-dollar racket If you love true-crime history, organized-crime documentaries, and stories about power hiding in plain sight, hit Subscribe and step into the underworld of the American economy. 🔖 Hashtags #MafiaHistory #AmericanGangsterHistory #GambinoFamily #OrganizedCrime #TrueCrimeDocumentary #GarmentDistrict #NewYorkHistory #MobStories #CarloGambino #PaulCastellano #JohnGotti #RICO #FBI #LaborRackets #UnionCorruption #MafiaDocumentary #NYC #TrueCrime #CrimeHistory #WorldWarTalesStyle Source: U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations — “Organized Crime and Illicit Traffic in Narcotics” (1951–1963 Hearings) Early congressional records showing mob infiltration in labor and trucking unions. 📎 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/C...
