✅JOSEPH PETROSINO: El PIONERO en la LUCHA contra el CRIMEN ORGANIZADO.

✅JOSEPH PETROSINO: The PIONEER in the FIGHT against ORGANIZED CRIME. Little Italy was a small neighborhood located in Manhattan, New York, where crime, drug addiction and imminent poverty took over the fourth New York population made up of Italians, opening the doors to terrain that was easy to dominate by criminal organizations, of which The feared 'Black Hand' was not excluded. Different criminal groups, indeed, were present in this territory to take control and thus have power over everything that was handled there. The 'Black Hand' was one of the criminal organizations that took over the tranquility of many Italians, but that also frightened and manipulated. Founded in 1911 and formed by members of the army in the Kingdom of Serbia, it was a group dedicated to manipulating and extorting Italian immigrants, who arrived in New York with the hope of having a less hard life and with more opportunities in approximately 1910. The 'Black Hand' was an extortion network that demanded protection money from business owners to maintain economic and territorial control. But, in addition, they left their intimidating letters signed with the imprint of a black hand, according to the media 'Italy'. With power, the gang expanded beyond New York, reaching the Italian-American communities of major cities such as Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, among others. However, the situation at that time was indifferent in the eyes of American society, but not for the scope of detective Joseph Petrosino, who rejected what was happening with the Italian immigrants. For that year of 1883, this criminal group could not even imagine that they would encounter the man who would prevent, at any cost, all kinds of injustices against Italian immigrants. Petrosino was born in Padula, in the region of Campania, Italy. But he did not spend his childhood in that country but rather emigrated to the United States when he was just a child, officially staying in the city that many immigrants dream of with a more stable life opportunity, such as New York. Petrosino, as a teenager, worked as a shoeshine boy outside a police station, where he was very close due to the action that officers face daily. It was then that the man began to admire the work that the police officers in his neighborhood did. When 1883 passed, Petrosino was already part of the New York Police, becoming the first Italian native within the organization.
