NEW YORK’S IRISH MOB BOSS - BIG HUGHIE MULLIGAN

Hugh (Big Hughie) Mulligan was a top Irish mobster whose real strength lay in his ability to successfully penetrate and corrupt dozens of members of New York’s Police Department where he had close connections and friendships dating back decades with many members of New York City’s then Irish-dominated police force, which in turn helped grease the wheels for the Irish Mob as well as New York's Five Families.

And although Hugh Mulligan was very well known to the police, the prosecutor’s office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he was scarcely known to the general public in the same way that many members of traditional organized crime families are as public figures.

In this American Mafia documentary we delve into the life and times of Hugh Mulligan and discuss his relationship with the notorious Eddie McGrath, John (Cockeye) Dunn, and others.
