In the 1980s, Peter Cassese was known as a successful New York clothing wholesaler. In reality, the store he owned was a front for one of the most brilliant burglary rings in American history.

It was an enterprise that boosted tens of millions of dollars worth of garments from high-end fashion designers without them even realising that they had been hit.

Cassese’s intricate operation and mob connections, as well as the cops on his payroll helped him elude detection for ten years.
