Former FBI agent Joe Pistone, who infiltrated the Mafia for six years as Donnie Brasco, reveals how his undercover work led to more than 100 convictions - and resulted in the death of underworld figure Dominick `Sonny Black' Napolitano.
The mob look ! What is that .? Let's talk Colombian cartels pre rock .Cubans love Colombian s Mex. Vs Guat .so on and so on Carter and the boatlift brought Entertainment.
@@craighewes1745Who says he’s in protective custody? I know for a FACT that he’s not hiding from anyone. He’s been back to NY for business and pleasure and doesn’t need any security team on him at all.
An incredible story of bravery and heroism fought along the Mafia corridors of power, using their own weapons...there should be a FBI medal called ' Joe Pistone'..
Donnie Brasco was my favorite movie for a long time! As a Girl, I was teased about my 2 favorite movies. The other movie was "Above The Law" Steven Seagal. These were 2 of the best movies ever!
@@jeffreyferris218 The Hunt for Red October was a great movie as well. I'm not a criminal or do I have any interest in that life but I think I've seen every Mafia movie since the late 70s. I said I'm not a criminal but I did just heist your play list of Bible movies. 😂 I've probably seen many of them but they're all worthy of endless viewings.
These documentaries are pure class, from the research and fact-finding, to the theme music and excellent narration, they are absolutely faultless. I really am grateful to whoever arranged these programmes as they are the very epitome of what a RU-vid documentary should be, and are no doubt enjoyed by people in every country across the world. The second-rate cash-ins and AI codswallop that are polluting RU-vid currently will vanish into obscurity, but these wonderful BD docs will still be enjoyed 50, 100 years from now, when AI will perhaps be starting to catch up.
"You were only here for a short while. You lived a virtuous life of kindness, humility, and selflessness. Your life will be remembered in the stories told by great men and women as someone they revered and held in highest esteem.... you have become a legend." From the eulogies of Marion Morrison (John Wayne)
When you think about it, it's actually insane that this guy went undercover in a Mafia organisation. A time when they were at their peak and insanely ruthless. I wouldn't even want to make eye contact with one, let alone infiltrate them as an undercover cop. What they did to people who owed a little bit of dough was bad enough. Imagine them finding a cop. Palpitations just thinking about it.
@@JS-es3dz he wasn’t a snitch he was an fbi agent. Get your head straight. All you social media tuff guys prob had your mommy bring your lunch on cabbage patch tray wee into your 50’s
@averagejoe9642 you don't know what you're replying about. I've studied "la costa nostra" since I was a teen. My favorite gangster is/was Anthony 'gaspipe' Costellano. Of the Lucchesse crime family.
Moral of the story is..... you may think u big time in these streets they'll even let u get rich until the U.S. GOVERNMENT decides enough is enough yall doin too much it's time to go 😂
My father and uncle used to hang out with Sonny Blacks son. His name is Sammy Nap. He just came home from doing 25yrs. He killed someone in the motion lounge after his father died.
This was awesome to see, i have the movie on DVD i probably look at it different as i know it was a true story and seeing this documentary makes it even better, as you see the real guy and the story behind it. Thanks for sharing this.😎
Joe Pistone, balls of steel. Could have been discovered and killed at any moment but kept going because he believed in the rule of law. The world needs more Joe Pistones.
Dude. You think mafia guys are-or were-so stupid as to murder an FBI agent? Let’s be honest here. Logging and mining are far more dangerous occupations than law enforcement at all levels. A cop was ambushed, shot and killed not far from here last year by some crazed meth tweeker. Tragic? Absolutely. The young trooper left behind a wife and children. But it was national news, his funeral attended by governors, senators, thousands of cops. Today, the intentional killing of a cop is rare. It’s not 1929 Chicago, or 1875 in Tombstone. Let’s be honest.
No when you step into the place Joe Pistone.went. two you are that person. For Life. This is a Fact.Yes you can go back to your true self but. You can never forget who you where.
I could never be undercover and rat out the mob especially if I hung out with them for six years, I couldn’t do that job I would say fire me before I do that job.
They literally didn't come back stronger. In fact, foreign mobsters have taken over. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Beyond that, knowing the exact structure and chain of command was invaluable. Virtually thr entire syndicate in New York is gone thanks to the work Pistone did.
@@Tank4Life Please look up Joseph Messino. He took over as Boss after the Pistons case. I’m not going to get into a back and forth with you; but you really need to do some research. Oh; did you know the the brother of Chin Gigante still gets paid six figures for doing a Longshoreman’s job that only exist on paper. Not bad for an organization with power.
I remember Ruggiero when I was 7 yrs old hanging out by Patsy Pizzeria in Mulberry st. I would see him 3x a week I didn't know that this would be this big of a deal
Why can't no-one pronounce his name right. They're all saying 'Ruggerio'. I read the book, years ago, that's why I noticed they don't pronounce it correctly.
I’ve never seen the Movie, I knew of Donny Brasco as an under cover operative but no details. Glad I didn’t , this video is excellent. The whole atmosphere of Mafia life was alive in the narration and the testimonials . Good work gentlemen and ladies if applicable.
We laud soldiers for a moment of extreme heroism. Where uncommon valor was common. Here is a guy that walked into the lions den for six years. He wasn't a two bit FBI guy raiding a pastors house or an ATF guy executing an airport executive. But a real man going up against real criminals. There's going to be some that disagree with my assessment of today's G-men. That's too bad. They destroyed their integrity themselves. I would've been proud of Joe Pistones FBI.
The strange thing about interviews with Joe Pistone, whom I don't doubt at all, is that the stories he tells in his interviews are different from the way he tells them in his book. Maybe he can talk more accurately after so many years.
Perhaps. Maybe he admits to, omits, or makes up details that suit the story that he's telling at the moment. In his line of work, he had to be a professional liar. I think that it's hard to discern the line between fact and fiction with anyone who participated in what he did.
He also has to make sure he doesn’t say any law that he broke. And we all know he definitely committed crime, how you running with mobsters for 6 years and never broke a law
In the book he was hanging out with the Jilly crew pretty long after the incident and he hit both Frankie and Patsy, Jilly was the only made guy in the crew.
The thing that doesn't make any sense about this is the fact that the FBI didn't arrest Sonny Black when they told him his friend was an FBI agent but yet at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2809">46:49</a> they arrested Lefty when they saw him saving his life. Very strange to say the least.
Yo era muy niño entonces, pero aún puedo recordar el ambiente enrarecido que se respiraba en las calles. Mi madre incluso dejó de llevarnos al parque a jugar, pues la tensión se podía cortar con un cuchillo. Los asesinatos aumentaron exponencialmente durante varios años. El vecindario, antaño muy cercano y familiar, empezó a tornarse peligroso. Todo el mundo sospechaba hasta de su sombra y fue ahí, cuando mis padres decidieron regresar a España... todo un acierto.
I feel like in order to be an undercover agent in that lifestyle. Back then you had to break a lot of rules, if not actually be involved in crime personally and committing crimes right alongside these people in order for them to trust you
Donnie took Sonny Black to the legendary Pappas Restaurant in Tarpon Springs. “Best damn food in the world!!” Sonny told anyone who would listen the rest of his life.
Why not subtitle in Romanian or in all dialects all your posts ?! It's a shame, you have interesting and good posts ,and you could have many more subscribers and visitors !!!
Wow that undercover agent has to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder with a mafia bounty of $500k on his head. Some dangerous work with some dangerous unforgiving scumbags!
In the movie Donnie Brasco,they depicted it like Santo broke up the club in cahoots with Sonny Red.This is why you must do your research on this movies.
