THE GREATEST UNTOLD TRAGEDY OF THE AMERICAN UNDERWORLD.
It all begins in the 1970s. Exiles who survived Tito’s labor camps and UDBA death squads arrived in New York as ghosts.
While the FBI was busy taking down the Italian Commission in the 80s, the city’s underground was quietly being devoured by a new breed of predator: The Yugo-Mafia. They were brutal, they didn’t fear Gotti or the cops, and they were bound by a street brotherhood forged in the blood of the Balkans.
They had the power to take over the entire city. And then came 1991.
A war erupted six thousand miles away in their homeland. Brothers who just yesterday bled and robbed together in Brooklyn, began slaughtering each other on the streets of Queens over politics.
This is the mechanics of their downfall. An empire brought down not by the law, but by its own poisoned blood.
