Who was the nations 1st Mob "BOSS" to be convicted under the RICO statute?Who can answer this correctly before anyone else?

Carlos Marcello, the head of the New Orleans family.

What magazine printed a ground breaking 2-part story about America's organized crime in the 1960's? This article contained a detailed map of the U.S. and named bosses and families from coast to coast.

Carlos Marcello Boss of the New Orleans Mob is incorrect.

TIME??

Time did it, but wasn't it in the early 70s?

Genovese boss Frank "Funzi" Tieri was convicted under the RICO law in 1980. 10 years after it had been passed into law, incidentally. Of course, if one wants to get technical, Tieri was the acting boss at the time. Not the official boss.

Life magazine published a 2 part series on America's organized crime in the early 1960's. I would love to have those mags in my collection.

OFFICIAL BOSS James "Blackie" Licavoli Of the CLEVELAND MAFIA Was the nations 1st official "Boss" convicted under the RICO Statute shortly after being jailed in 1982 for his role in a lengthy war with underworld rivals.

I said Marcello because Frank Ragano, is his book "Mob Lawyer," said that Marcello was "the first bigtime mob boss convicted under the RICO statute." Either Ragano was just plain wrong, or he didn't consider Licavoli "bigtime."

At the Time I would say being "Boss" Of the CLEVELAND mafia actually ment something. Not like today where they probably have a "Capo" from a certain family overseeing operations in the area.James "Blackie" Licavoli was considered "GODFATHER" of the Midwest for many years after being named to succeed longtime Midwest Godfather John Scalish.
His first cousin was Detroit mob lieutenant Pete Licavoli.
He was referred to as the "DON" of the Cleveland mafia by some .
Known on the street as "Jack White"
