About Carlos Marcello

Carlos Joseph Marcello (Italian: [mar'tʃɛlːlo], born Calogero Minacore, Italian: [kaˈlɔːdʒero minaˈkɔːre]; February 6, 1910 – March 3, 1993) was an Italian-American crime boss of the New Orleans crime family from 1947 to 1990. Aside from his role in the American Mafia, he is also notorious for the reason that G. Robert Blakey and others have alleged that Carlos Marcello, Santo Trafficante Jr., and Sam Giancana conspired in the 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in retaliation for federal investigations and prosecutions that threatened both the power and the multibillion-dollar profits of organized crime. The family changed all their other names, and Calogero Minacore became Carlos Joseph Marcello. On his release from prison, Marcello became associated with Frank Costello, the leader of the Genovese crime family, in New York City.
