Global Crushers was a 'chop shop' run by Silvio Cervantes and part of a racket chain run by Esteban Almeida, who gained a monopoly on organised crime following Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959. It was located in the centre of Havana, Cuba and it was known to provide a good deal of income for the family. In 1960, following a failed assassination attempt on Castro, Global Crushers was taken down by Dominic.
