Until the success of Fidel Castro's revolution 50 years ago,
Havana Cuba was a playground for the wealthy
and a sanctuary for American Mafiosi
Castro and the Casinos
By Thomas Hunt
"A growing law enforcement threat at home in the early 1950s caused the American Mafia to transplant a number of its rackets to the island nation of Cuba - just outside United States jurisdiction. Protected by a friendly and thoroughly corrupt Cuban administration, the underworld pumped millions of dollars into gambling and narcotics enterprises on the island. The Cuban capital became a playground for wealthy tourists and a paradise for organized criminals."Nineteen and a half pages article body
