Part 6 Frank Nitti

Frank “The Enforcer” Nitti was a mobster with unusual business sense. While Capone got the headlines, Frank Nitti was running the show. He caught his big break in 1932 when Al Capone was sent to prison for tax evasion. Nitti took over Capone's criminal empire, and expanded the Mob's influence into labor racketeering and extortion of Hollywood studios after the end of Prohibition.
