New England’s Godfather: The Rise and Fall of Raymond Patriarca

Описание: From the quiet streets of Providence to the back alleys of Boston, one man ruled it all with fear, loyalty, and blood. Raymond L.S. Patriarca turned the New England Mafia—known as the Patriarca Crime Family—into one of the most powerful and disciplined crime syndicates in America.

Operating from his headquarters on Atwells Avenue in Providence, Patriarca controlled gambling, loansharking, extortion, and union rackets across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine. Nothing happened without his approval. Associates called him “The Man.” Enemies called him something else—a dictator in a three-piece suit.

From the 1950s through the 1980s, the Patriarca family enforced absolute obedience through intimidation and assassination. Rivals vanished, traitors were silenced, and even law enforcement learned that crossing Patriarca came with consequences. But power breeds enemies—and when FBI wiretaps and internal betrayals tore through his empire, the reign of terror that once defined New England’s underworld began to unravel.

This is the story of how one man built a Mafia kingdom—and how it finally fell.
