who frank costello is

Frank Costello was an Italian-American mafioso and boss of the Luciano crime family in New York City from 1938 to 1957. Known as the “Prime Minister of the Underworld”, Costello was noted for his political connections and for a leadership style that emphasized diplomacy and business dealings. His televised testimony at the 1951 Kefauver Committee hearings caught nationwide attention and brought public awareness to the extent of organized crime in the United States.
