Criminal Empire: Mafia Mysteries & Serial Killers - A podcast by Charlie Outback - Saturdays

Behind the glamor of New York’s fashion elite, a darker force was tailoring power in silence — Carlo Gambino. In this shocking episode, we expose how one of the Mafia’s most calculating godfathers stitched his way into the fabric of the garment industry, turning union halls into war zones and clothing factories into cash machines. You’ll learn how the Gambino family leveraged trucking, extortion, and labor racketeering to control billions — all while evading the spotlight. This isn’t just mob history. It’s a lesson in quiet domination and criminal brilliance. What made Carlo different from Gotti or Capone? Why did his takeover go largely unnoticed by the public? Discover the bloodstained threads woven into American commerce — and how the mob wore the suit of a businessman while carrying a killer’s knife.
