About
In this episode of Mobstercast Chronicles, we dive into the life of Charles “Trigger Happy” Fischetti, the fiercely loyal cousin of Al Capone whose reputation for violence made him one of the Outfit’s most feared enforcers. From his Brooklyn roots to his rise inside Chicago’s underworld, Fischetti operated in the shadows of history’s biggest mob names—yet his influence stretched from Cicero’s bloody elections to the high‑stakes Havana Conference. Discover how a man known for muscle, loyalty, and lethal efficiency became a key player in the national syndicate, only to die on the eve of testifying before the Kefauver Committee.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mobstercastchronicles--6052763/support.
