The Masseria crime family, or the Luciano crime family, is a Sicilian criminal organization run by Sicilian mafia boss Joe Masseria from the 1920s to 1931.
Masseria was murdered by Benjamin Siegel and Tonino Sandrelli in 1931 on orders of Lucky Luciano. Luciano had switched sides to the Maranzano family during the Castellammarese War prior to the murder. After the murder of Salvatore Maranzano, Luciano recanted Maranzano's "Boss of all Bosses" and hence The Five Families or "The Commission" was formed.
