Frank “Three Fingers” Coppola: The Transatlantic Mobster Who Lived Two Criminal Lives

Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mobstercastchronicles--6052763/supportFrank “Three Fingers” Coppola lived not one underworld life, but two—first as a Detroit mob figure tied to robberies and narcotics, then as a quietly powerful Sicilian Mafia broker after his deportation. In this episode of Mobstercast Chronicles, we trace Coppola’s journey from a small Sicilian town to the streets of Prohibition‑era Detroit, and finally into the shadows of Italy’s heroin pipeline. It’s the story of a man who reinvented himself across continents, built criminal networks on both sides of the Atlantic, and left a legacy far larger than his nickname suggests.
