  • Gun Smuggling, Castro's Cuba and the Pittsburgh Mafia

    Gun Smuggling, Castro's Cuba and the Pittsburgh Mafia
    Dec 12 2024
    Western Pennsylvania’s New Kensington was in the grips of Mafia control throughout the 1950s, with a bevy of bookie joints, gambling casinos and brothels. An outgrowth of the Pittsburgh mob, New Kensington’s Costa Nostra ordered a group of Mafiosi to break into a National Guard station in Ohio and steal a shipment of weapons. The guns were destined for Fidel Castro, who was waging guerrilla war in Cuba. The Pittsburgh Mafia was hoping to get on Castro’s good side if he won the war to secure the reopening of gambling casinos. From a daring heist in Canada to Swiss bank accounts and CIA informants, this infamous gunrunning scheme was a high-speed saga of international intrigue. Join author Richard Gazarik as he presents a harrowing historical narrative of the criminal underworld of Western Pennsylvania. Richard Gazarik lives in Western Pennsylvania. A former journalist, he has written about organized crime, outlaw motorcycle gangs, drug gangs and corporate corruption. Buy the book HERE Learn more about your ad choices.
