Page "Carlo Gambino" Paragraph 27

Gambino was seen at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas on August 2, 1967, where he is supposed to have met Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, the group known as " The Rat Pack.

" They were excellent singers, and the mob, and Gambino in particular, lived for their music.

Gambino allegedly gave each of them $ 10, 000 after performing at the Desert Inn, while Gambino was present in the VIP-lounge.

Gambino also allegedly said to Castellano: " I want a picture of me and Frankie ".

Sinatra of course, happily obliged and Gambino, Castellano and other mobsters got a picture with Sinatra in the middle.

Sinatra would later testify about this in court, but announced that he didn't know any Carlo Gambino, but it got to a point where he had to explain why he was attending the Havana Conference in Cuba in 1946, showing up with $ 2, 000, 000 in a silver suitcase and a picture that showed Sinatra, Charles " Lucky " Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Albert " The Executioner " Anastasia, and Carlo Gambino having a drink by a pool.
