He had connections everywhere, from local politicians to national figures, makin’ sure he always stayed a step ahead of the law. Marcello’s name even got tangled up in the JFK assassination conspiracy theories, showin’ just how far his reach went. He managed to dodge major convictions and lived a long life, passin’ away in 1993. Carlos Marcello was the kind of boss who proved you don’t need to be loud to be powerful; you just need to be smart and ruthless.
