Prohibition Raid Ties French Nobleman to Smuggling Ring
New York police and federal agents arrest Count Maxence de Polignac and about 20 others in a spectacular dry raid tied to a large liquor smuggling operation. Seized were 10 tons of imported wines and spirits, with offices and warehouses linked to the Go-Bart company and James Plant Advertising Agency. The count faced property seizures and movements to a substation as investigators traced a vast network supplying Park Avenue millionaires. The raid, part of Hoover era enforcement, followed raids on related sites including a Savoy Plaza suite and a Forty-Second Street office, with charges and arrests extending to several Dooley firm members and others connected to the ring.
