Murder, Inc.

Murder, Inc. (or Murder Incorporated) were organized crime groups in the 1930s and '40s that acted as the enforcement arm of the Italian-American Mafia, Jewish mob and connected organized crime groups in New York and elsewhere.

The groups were largely composed of Italian-American and Jewish gangsters from the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brownsville, East New York, and Ocean Hill. Originally headed by Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, and later by the most feared mob boss Albert "The Mad Hatter" Anastasia, Murder, Inc. was believed to be responsible for between 400 and 1,000 contract killings, until the group was exposed in the early 1940s by former group member Abe "Kid Twist" Reles.

Most members were trialed and either imprisoned or executed. The few that managed to avoid the law joined other gangs or were murdered by former rivals. Abe Reles himself died after suspiciously falling from a window, causing many to think he was murdered by a Murder, Inc. associate as revenge.
