Carlos Marcello was best-known as the head of the Mafia in New Orleans. At 19 he was arrested in New Orleans for bank robbery, but the charges dropped. At 20 he was convicted of assault-and-robbery and sent to prision for 5 years. At 25, he was back on the streets.

In 1938 Marcello was arrested in New York for the sale of more of more than 23 pounds of illegal drugs, and served 10 months in prison. Afterwards he associated with Frank Costello, the leader of the Mafia in New York.

By the late1940s, Marcello had taken control of Louisiana's gambling network and joined forces with Meyer Lansky to buy some of the biggest casinos in the New Orleans area, making him the undisputed leader of the New Orleans Mob. He was to hold this position for the next 30 years.

In March of 1959 Marcello appeared before the Senate Committe  invesgating organized crime, facing Robert F. Kennedy as chief counsel to the committe and his brother, Senator [http://real-life-heroes-and-good-guys.wikia.com/wiki/John_F_Kennedy John F Kennedy], as a member of the committe.
