Anthony Strollo, also known as Tony Bender and Tough Tony, was a Mafia powerhouse in the Genovese crime family for several decades. His brothers, Dominic and Emillio, were also members of the syndicate. Strollo's primary territory included the New Jersey docks and the Greenwich Village area of lower Manhattan, New York City. Strollo inherited a large amount of power after the careers of many of his mob associates were ended by Federal and U.S. Senate investigations, i.e. the Kefauver Committee and others. My ebook looks at his versatility. Strollo was involved with labor rackets, narcotics, fake lotteries and numbers running, among his other criminal activities. |
