Frank, like many Mafiosi, was born in Italy. He was the boss of the famous and most mysterious Mafiosi family – Luciano.

When he was 4 years old, he moved to live in America. And then, when he was growing up, he first encountered a criminal life, he began to lead the gang. When, however, another authority in the mafia world – Charles Luciano was taken into custody, what happened in 1936, Frank did not miss the moment, hurried up the «career ladder,» and finally led a gang of mafiosi Luciano, later renamed Genovese.

Costello received the nickname «Prime Minister,» for his desire for rapid career growth, the long lead of the gangs, as well as for the craving for political activity. Costello linked the Mafia and the democratic political society of the United States. Frank was the director of many gambling machines and casinos, not only in the country, but also in large areas of the Caribbean Sea.

Costello was popular with «his people.» Many people think that the image of the protagonist from the movie «Godfather», namely Vito Corleone, was copied from Frank Costello. Even regardless of the fact that he was in the gangster circles a respected person, he had enemies. So, in 1957, he was assassinated in the course of which, he was wounded in the head, but somehow remained alive. He died after 22 years.
