00:30The officers, to avoid any surprises, handcuffed themselves with the stammerer.
00:33Associated with SimSing, Luciano took about thirty years.
00:36In 1946 he obtained a pardon.
00:38It was said that from his cell the devilish man had helped the war effort.
00:42Arrested again in Havana, he managed to escape.
00:45The United States responded to the breakout by cutting off supplies to Cuba.
00:48Now Luciano is ready to embark for Italy.
00:50His smile does justice to his given name, lucky.
01:07Lucky Luciano was no ordinary man.
01:10The Americans considered him the great boss, the tireless organizer of the international drug trafficking.
01:16And they had been keeping an eye on him for years.
01:18They had sent him back to Italy after he had served many years in prison.
01:22And in Italy, in Naples, Salvatore Lucania died suddenly of heart failure.
01:27The religious ceremony takes place in the Trinity Church.
01:30Then the funeral procession heads towards the English cemetery.
01:33Lucky Luciano's brother follows the cart pulled by eight horses.
01:37It is the same carriage on which the famous king of Poggio Reale was transported to the Navarra cemetery.
01:43Well, a lot of people at the funeral of one of the most mysterious men of the last fifty years.

01:51In a corner of the cemetery, two Americans film the procession.
01:54They are FBI narcotics agents.
01:57They will then examine the film in search of any drug lords.
02:01There is also a girl in tears.
02:03She is the woman Luciano intended to marry.
02:05But for the FBI he is not an exceptional character.
