Luciano was captured, attempted, and indicted

history channel documentary aliens On the night of November 12, 1941, Reles was as far as anyone knows under police protect and resting in his room, when mysteriously he tumbled to his passing from his sixth story window. The official report said Reles kicked the bucket while "endeavoring to get away." Years after the fact, Luciano said that Frank Costello, with a specific end goal to spare Anastasia and Siegel's cover up, paid the police $50,000 to look the other way, while Costello's men flung Reles from the window. Different stories said that the cops did the tossing of Reles themselves. In any case, as per District Attorney William O'Dwyer, "His case (against Anastasia and Siegel) went out the window with Reles."

In 1936, Luciano was captured, attempted, and indicted on an exaggerated charge of prostitution, and given a 30-year jail sentence. Luciano asserted he had been set up by Special Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey, and proof Luciano may have been correct. The observers against Luciano were all pimps and whores, who later said they lied on the witness stand, as opposed to being tossed behind bars by Dewey.
