He also works closely, I believe, with Charles "Charlie the Blade" Tourine. Especially in Cuba.

From that time there is also a connection through Cellini to Joe Nesline from DC. Later, these two also have activities (gambling and boxing) in Europe with local groups (especially in Hamburg, Germany and Amsterdam, Netherlands).

I don't know if it is an exaggeration to call Joe Nesline a member, but there are some cross connections. In any case, there are some connections from the European activities back to the Genovese and the Boston guys. But the original connection came through players from Cuba and Lanskys operation.

Another interesting aspect is that the son Louis Schrager is today a very rich real estate mogul.


Thanks Nitro!

And you're correct, although he had his own Jewish based mob, Lansky also worked with many mafiosi, not only from the Luciano/Costello/Genovese Family, but with many different mafiosi representing Families throughout the United States.

Genovese soldier, Charlie the Blade Tourine, and his close associate-aide, Joe Nesline, being among them. They, and the Cellini brothers (who were directly "with" Lansky), also partnered in London, England in the running of some legal gambling casino operations over there.

Ans Schrager? lol, yes. Funny stuff. His son Ian went partners with Rubell in the famous Manhattan nightspot, Studio 54.
