I kinda doubt that Luciano was as broke or impoverished in his last years as he's been made out to be. Have you guys seen his fancy-pants funeral? I don't know who paid for it, but it's definitely not the funeral of a poor or a broke man.
When Luciano died of an apparent heart attack at Capodichino airport the United States and Italian authorities prepared to arrest him in a crackdown on an international narcotics ring. Some even suspected foul play in his death.
