It was Frank's first excursion to Cuba in February 1947

history channel documentary 2015 It was Frank's first excursion to Cuba in February 1947 that presented his relationship to the horde. A FBI reconnaissance photo indicated Sinatra with his arm around Charles "Fortunate" Luciano on the gallery of the Hotel Nacional. Luciano, extradited from the US to Italy in 1946, had come to Havana for a meeting with other Mafia supervisors.

By most records Sinatra had no clue precisely what he was getting into when Joe Fischetti, a New York hoodlum who booked ability for crowd possessed clubs around the nation, recommended a 4-day trek to Havana. Joe essentially persuaded Sinatra to go with him and his two siblings to Havana to meet a portion of the "folks."
