Nicknamed ‘Momo’ from the slang term ‘Mooney’, meaning crazy, Sam Giancana was the boss of the infamous Chicago Outfit from 1957 to 1966. He had joined the mob as a young man, working under Al Capone, before eventually taking over the criminal enterprise.
Known for his unstable behaviour and hot temper, Giancana rubbed shoulders with everyone from dangerous underworld criminals to high-profile figures such as Phyllis McGuire, Frank Sinatra and the Kennedy family.
Giancana’s rise to power is as sensational as his reputation: born in New York to Italian immigrant parents, he climbed through the ranks of the Chicago underworld and was later recruited by the CIA in a plot to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, some suggested Giancana had been involved as payback for the president’s crackdown on organised crime.
A man of many faces, Sam Giancana remains a fascinatingly difficult figure to pin down. Here’s an introduction to the infamous mobster.
