Article · Nederlands

Meyer Lansky, geboren als Maier Suchowljansky (Grodno (tegenwoordig Hrodna), 4 juli 1902 – Miami Beach (Florida), 15 januari 1983) was een Amerikaanse gangster. Hij wordt wel omschreven als een van de grondleggers dan wel "de voornaamste architect van de Amerikaanse georganiseerde misdaad". Samen met Lucky Luciano transformeerde Lansky in de jaren twintig en dertig de rivaliserende straatbendes en de multi-etnische clans (waaronder de traditionele maffia) in een nationaal misdaadnetwerk waarin het economisch nut moest prevaleren boven onderlinge verschillen. "Net als zijn mentor: Arnold Rothstein, lag de basis voor Lansky niet in een bende maar in de gokindustrie als zodanig."
