The Untouchable Godfather of the South | Mafias Greatest Hits E10 | True Lives

Video Description

He was quiet, calculated, and almost invisible to the public—yet Santo Trafficante Jr. was one of the most powerful Mafia bosses in American history. Ruling Florida’s underworld with an iron grip, Trafficante expanded his empire into Havana, Cuba, where he ran luxurious casinos and rubbed shoulders with mob royalty like Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano. When Fidel Castro took power, Trafficante’s Cuban dream collapsed—but his influence didn’t. This documentary explores how Trafficante allegedly worked with the CIA to plot the assassination of Castro, and the swirling conspiracy theories linking him to the JFK assassination. Despite countless investigations and testimonies, Trafficante remained one of the few major mobsters never convicted.
