11. Lucchese Crime Family
The Lucchese Crime Family has a storied history as one of New York’s Five Families, established in the early 1930s by boss Tommy Lucchese. Known for its business-like approach to organized crime, the family has traditionally focused on a blend of legitimate enterprises and illegal activities, such as drug trafficking, extortion, and labor union control.
Key figures include Anthony “Tony Ducks” Corallo, who led the family during its peak, and Vittorio “Vic” Amuso, known for his violent tactics and leadership style. Despite facing significant law enforcement pressure, the Lucchese family has shown remarkable resilience, evolving its operations while maintaining a low profile in the criminal underworld.
