The Galea Dynasty

Perce Galea, a prominent figure in Sydney's underworld from the 1950s to the 1970s, ran a network of successful illegal casinos, enjoying close ties with corrupt police and politicians. His son, Bruce Galea, continued the family's involvement in illegal gambling, becoming a major operator in Sydney's Chinatown. The text details both Perce and Bruce's extensive criminal activities, including bribery, connections to powerful individuals, and their eventual encounters with the law. While Perce's influence spanned the realms of casinos and horse racing, Bruce's career in illegal gambling persisted despite facing investigations and imprisonment. The sources highlight the deep corruption within Sydney's criminal underworld and its interaction with law enforcement and political figures.
