Episode Details

In the history of the American mafia the sinister fame of the criminal group called the “Good killers” is still indelible. The gang was composed in the 20s of the last century by mafia immigrants from the Bonventre and Magaddino families of Castellammare del Golfo, in Sicily, and their allies, namely Stefano Magaddino, his brother-in-law Bartolo Di Gregorio, Vito Bonventre, Giuseppe Lombardi, Mariano Galante, whose family was related to Magaddino, and Francesco Puma. The gang had been in a constant state of war for a decade and a half. The name of the secret coterie was first published in the New York Times edition of August 17, 1921.
