Part 4/11:
The 1930s marked a full-scale power struggle in New York's Mafia world. Old traditions were challenged, and a bloody war known as the Castellammarese War erupted between the old bosses and a new generation seeking dominance. With Masseria’s iron grip weakening, Veto and associates saw an opportunity to orchestrate a coup that would reshape the Mafia landscape. This culminated in the assassination of Joe Masseria in April 1931, leading to the establishment of a new power dynamic.
