Albert anastasia

It had been decades since a mob boss had been killed in New York, until Wednesday. In other famous slayings of mob bosses, the cases often went unsolved.

Albert Anastasia (born Umberto Anastasio, September 26, 1902 – October 25, 1957) was one of the most ruthless and feared Cosa Nostra mobsters in U. S. history. A founder of the American Mafia, Anastasia ran Murder, Inc. during the prewar era and was boss of the modern Gambino crime family during most of the 1950s.

Frederick J. Tenuto (aka 'The Angel') suspected of killing Arnold Schuster on the orders of Albert Anastasia. It was also suspected that a Anastasia had Tenuto killed after the Schuster murder.
