Mobsters Murder Inc.
Murder For Hire
For other uses, see Murder, Inc. (disambiguation).
Murder, Inc. - or Murder Incorporated or the Brownsville Boys - was the name given by the press to organized crime groups in the 1920s through the 1940s that resulted in hundreds of murders on behalf of the US mafia and their Jewish counterparts who together formed the early organised crime groups in New York and elsewhere. The name was a journalistic invention. In his biography The Valachi Papers Mafia turncoat Joseph Valachi insisted Murder Inc did not commit crimes for the Cosa Nostra.
