I dont think that prostitution was banned. Its one of the biggest markets still to this day. The Outfits original boss were heavily involved in brothels and white slavery. Luciano was one of the biggest drug dealers in the country at the time, i doubt it was beneath him to make money off of prostitution.
I think luciano in this day and age would try and put mob back in to the status it had during his time and the control they once had over everything including drugs, but i think he would fail either by going to prison or getting murdered.
Yes. But keep in mind that Colosimo was not part of the Mafia, which back then was a purely Sicilian thing. Colosimo was Neopolitan. The Camorra gangs at that time had other rules and values. It was the Camorra gang who dealt with prostitution and drug dealing.
Luciano, allthough being a Sicilian, was never steeped in Mafia tradition. He was basically a street guy who grew up with the values found on the street. That is why Bonanno referred to himas an "Americanized" mafioso. These "americanized" mafiosi only valued money.
Bonanno stated that he had a great friendship with Luciano. But their "political" views and values was very far apart.
But he also stated that he doubted that Luciano was involved with prostitution.
