The infamous Nazarian is alleged to have been the hit man for Raymond Patriarca and to have pulled off one of the biggest hits in mob history - the hit on Albert Anastassio, the head of the Gambino Crime Family.

As it has been reported:

On the morning of October 25, 1957, Anastasia entered the barber shop of the Park Sheraton Hotel, at 56th Street and 7th Avenue inMidtown Manhattan.

Anastasia's driver parked the car in an underground garage and then took a walk outside, leaving Anastasia unprotected. As Anastasia relaxed in the barber chair, two men—scarves covering their faces—rushed in, shoved the barber out of the way, and fired at Anastasia. After the first volley of bullets, Anastasia allegedly lunged at his killers. However, the stunned Anastasia had actually attacked the gunmen's reflections in the wall mirror of the barber shop. The gunmen continued firing and Albert Anastasia finally fell to the floor, dead.

The murder was reported on the front page of the New York Times “ANASTASIA SLAIN IN A HOTEL HERE; LED MURDER, INC.”

The murder was allegedly contracted by the Genovese family to Patriarca and that the hit was led by Nazarian.

Patriarca had applied for a cigarrette vending machine license in Massachusetts (possibly Boston) that he received trouble from “an Irishman” who is head of the Licensing Board for the State of Massachusetts, and the reason that his license request was denied was due to the fact that this “Irishman” had 400 cigarette machines of his own out on location that these machines were in a company, possibly under a “dummy” name.
