10 Places in Chicago the Outfit Controlled

For decades, the Chicago Outfit didn’t rule the city from a single headquarters. Its power was hidden inside ordinary restaurants, luxury hotels, nightclubs, gambling rooms, union offices and suburban hangouts. Behind some of Chicago’s most recognizable locations were illegal casinos, secret meetings, political corruption and deadly orders issued by men like Al Capone, Tony Accardo, Sam Giancana and Joey “The Clown” Lombardo. In this video, we uncover 10 places the Chicago Outfit once used to build its criminal empire. Some served as glamorous playgrounds for mob bosses. Others became meeting places where betrayals were discussed, murders were planned and millions of dollars quietly changed hands. How many of these locations still exist? Which innocent-looking building concealed the darkest secrets? And what happened when federal investigators finally exposed the Outfit’s control? This is the hidden geography of organized crime—and the 10 places that prove the Chicago Outfit once ruled far more of the city than anyone realized.
