Luciano was born Salvatore Lucania on November 24, 1897, in Lercara Friddi, Sicily, Italy. Luciano died in Italy on January 26, 1962, and his body was permitted to be transported back to the United States for burial. In 1946, for his alleged wartime cooperation, his sentence was commuted on the condition that he be deported to Italy. He was sentenced to 30 to 50 years in prison, but during World War II an agreement was struck with the Department of the Navy through his Jewish Mob associate Meyer Lansky to provide naval intelligence. In 1936, Luciano was tried and convicted for compulsory prostitution and running a prostitution racket after years of investigation by District Attorney Thomas E. He was also the first official boss of the modern Genovese crime family. Luciano is considered the father of modern organized crime in the United States for the establishment of the Commission in 1931, after he abolished the boss of bosses title held by Salvatore Maranzano following the Castellammarese War. Luciano started his criminal career in the Five Points Gang and was instrumental in the development of the National Crime Syndicate.
