The Army arrested Geno vese in 1944, and he was forcibly returned to the U.S. By then the witnesses to the outstanding murder charge against him had disappeared and he was able to assume control of the Luciano crime family. In 1959 he was sentenced to 15 years on a narcotics charge and died in prison a decade later...
