  • Dragna was born Gaetano Dragna in Corleone, Sicily in 1889. He was the middle child of Francesco Paolo Dragna and Anna Dragna. He had an older sister, Giuseppa, and a younger brother Iganazio. At the age of eight, they moved to New York City on November 18, 1898. The two brothers, who now renamed themselves Tom and Jack Dragna, respectively, then moved to Los Angeles. Unlike his brother, Tom became a naturalized citizen on November 10, 1939. While in California Tom married and fathered at least two children: Louis Tom Dragna and Frank Paul Dragna. He owned a ranch in West Puente Valley, California. During the 1920s they were involved in bootlegging and were closely allied with Joseph Ardizzone. On multiple occasions, Dragna was arrested for violating the national prohibition law, for violation of deadly weapons Act, national firearms Act and for conspiracy to commit murder. Tom was also a suspected major narcotics smuggler. After Ardizzone's disappearance in 1931, Jack became Boss of the Los Angeles crime family and made Tom his consigliere. Another close supporter of theirs, Girolamo "Momo" Adamo, was made underboss.
