Category:Rico granados

The Don of the Mexican Granados family, Rico gained his power through property development, yet it was not long before criminals attempted to extort him, and rather than be cowed, he decided that he could make more money by hiring thugs into his deals which eventually helped him in reaching 'untouchable' status.

Rico was at Hyman Roth's birthday party in Havana, Cuba, where he was to be given a portion of Roth's business empire, specifically the Hotel National. He was also known to be allies with the Mangano family, and was keen to have the friendship of the Corleone Don of New York, Aldo Trapani, whom he was involved in property negotiations with. Trapani wisely rejected Granados' property deal, which was fortunate, as the building in question soon sank into the swamps of Florida.

Miami Empire Edit
Following the collapse of Fulgencio Batista's regime, Rico pulled out Cuba and established his empire in Miami, where he became bitter enemies with Roth after disputes over property, even attempting to kill associates of his such as Vernon Strazzi and Bruce Bindo.

To defeat Granados, Roth called in Dominic, Aldo Trapani's replacement as Corleone Don of New York, who managed to free Roth's rat in the Granados family, Steven Ciccoricco and launch a campaign against the family. Rico was killed during the raid on his compound, wherein his entire empire was wiped out and given to the Corleones.
