Buffalo Mobsters(Russell Bufalino)

Russell Bufalino - Buffalo Mobsters

Time: 1920s

Place: U.S.

Details: Bufalino worked alongside many Buffalo mobsters, some of whom would become top leaders in the Buffalo crime family and other future Cosa Nostra families along the East Coast of the United States. These relationships proved very helpful to Bufalino in his criminal career. Family and clan ties were important to Sicilian-American criminals; they created a strong, secretive support system that outsiders or law enforcement could not infiltrate.
