About Philip Mangano

Lived 1898 – 1951 (aged 53). Philip Mangano was an Italian mobster.

Philip Mangano (born Filippo Mangano, ; April 13, 1898 – April 19, 1951) was an Italian-born caporegime and second consigliere in what was then the Mangano crime family in New York City and reigned consigliere for 20 years between 1931 and 1951 when his brother, Vincent, was boss.

Mangano was involved with the International Longshoremen's Association and in New York City politics.

In 1923, Mangano was indicted on murder charges, but was never convicted. Mangano had been shot three times; once in the neck and twice in the face. He, along with his brother Vincent, who disappeared that same day, are believed to have been murdered on the orders of family underboss Albert Anastasia in Brooklyn in 1951. No one was ever arrested in the Mangano murders, but it was widely assumed that Anastasia had them killed.
