history channel documentary The answer is straightforward. Amid this timeframe, in spite of the fact that Hoover went violently after such Number One Public Enemies like John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson, Hoover totally declined to perceive that the Mafia, or the "Cosa Nostra" even existed.
In any case, not by any means Hoover's impact and security could keep Costello out of the spotlight until the end of time. In 1951, Senator Estes Kefauver from Tennessee, and his five-man uncommon board of trustees to examine sorted out wrongdoing, trained in on Costello. On March 13, 1951, Costello was summoned to affirm before the Kefauver Committee. In any case, Costello did not need his face seen on national TV, so through his legal counselor, George Wolf, it was settled upon that exclusive Costello's hands would be appeared on TV.
With a broadly broadcast group of onlookers tensely viewing, Costello, in his gravely voice, reluctantly addressed the board's inquiries. He took a stab at fighting verbally with Kefauver and his men, however it was clear to all that Kefauver had uncovered Costello for precisely what he was - a hotshot Mob manager.
