"Roy Demeo Cut Nino Gaggi Open and Dug The Bullet Out" | Sammy "The Bull" Gravano 

“I was actually the surgeon who pulled the bullet out of Gaggi.” - Gianni Russo

If Roy DeMeo had a RU-vid channel, imagine the stories he'd tell.

For the first time I got the notification in enough time to beat Gianni Russo to the hit...

I'm perfectly fine hearing all Roy demeo stories

"Got shot in his leg, hada limp for the rest of his life. Nothing serious." - Salvatore Sammy The Bull Gravano

Not only was Roy a serial killer he was a surgeon.

Roy Demeo Career in the mafia was crazy asf. Very few killers in the mafia did what this man did. But then again not many gangsters were that far off. Most mafiosos had only one thing in mind and that was to earn money. But Roy Demeos mind worked differently , he was All about the kill, and so he got what was coming to him in the end, body found in the trunk of a car.

How did Roy do the job Carrying that wheel barrow for his balls everywhere

How on earth this Roy Demeo guy came up with such an idea...? And then pull it off so perfectly... It's extraordinary...

This is the most insane story of them all. To switch a bullet in the hospital, WTF?!!

We need more Roy stories. His stories are off the hook.

Jimmy "The Clam" Eppolito, was the uncle to "Mafia cop" Louie Eppolito.

Just wanted to put out there for y'all if you haven't read For The Sins of My Father by Albert Demeo (Roy's son) you really should. It's a great book. I can't testify to it's 100 percent authenticity but it doesn't read like a lie, everybody interested in Roy should read it.

I thought it was his nephew who smugled that bullet to Nino. Nino was lying there for weeks, not giving his permission to remove the bullet. Doctors said it his body would push it out eventually since it wasnt that critical or bad wound despite it being on neck or head area. Dominick and Roy devised this plan to switch bullets, Dom visited Nino and made the switch. Nino, who was under constant police guarding so that he wouldnt be able to toss away the bullet once it came out of the wound. Nino scratched the wound when his guards eyes were not on him and flushed the actual bullet down the toilet and presented the switched one as the actual bullet. Atleast thats how it went according to "Murder Machine" book.

Roy’s instinct is amazingly scary. High level guy from the top family. just shows how powerful the Gambinos are at that era

Petey 17 was a WW II combat veteran in the Marine Corps. He was at the battle of Guadalcanal and fought in the Solomon Islands.

Jimmy the Clam. Priceless.

It's simple. Roy was a pro.

“I actually gave Roy the knife, can you believe it? Hahahaha” -Gianni Russo

Side note: Patrick Penny was the witness who called the cops on Nino and Roy after the Eppolito hits. He also testified against Nino in court. Gaggi could have had Penny killed at any time during the trial, but feared what he may face at sentencing so he waited. He assigned the hit to Roy. Penny had been warned by detectives that his life was in danger and he should leave town. Vito Arena tracked down Penny and alerted Roy. They stalked him on 5/12/1980, Roy, Vito and Richie DiNome. Roy was so bloodthirsty that even after the crew was questioned by police he refused to abandon the plan. Roy shot him dead in the street and the same person who called the cops on the suspicious trio earlier called them again. The next day, the front page of the New York Times read “Mob Witness Rubbed Out”.

It was really amazing that Roy was that smart and could think that fast. Really smart

I remember reading about this in "Murder Machine" which was a fascinating story.. This version is wildly different..crazy

Roy demeo wasn't the same after richie aprile was thru with him took his jacket

Mafia stories are the only thing that gets my attention these days.

"Guy had a limp ...hit in the leg , nothing serious" LMAO

Sammy, you forgot to mention "Penny's" role in this situation and how Roy hunted him down and disconnected his car battery to trap and kill him.

Roy Demeo was a real prolific killer / genius. legendary.

Roy was wild asf

Roy Demeo was crazy. Who would think about doing something like that. Not even in the movies it would be too unbelievable. They probably regret killing him he was so valuable to the Cosa Nostra.

Imagine the stories Roy could've told us had he been alive

So Demeo saves Nino from going to prison for life but that doesn't keep Nino from killing Demeo. Now that's one way loyalty

Roy was just on another damn level. The butcher of the mob. Never heard something like this.

Roy was something to be taken seriously. Trule a terrifying individual.

Roy was def a jack of all trades type of guy and very loyal , you don't see that to much in these times !

Roy was like John Wick crossed with Walter White, or something, in that story.

Roy was a pretty calculated fella

An 8 minute story or a 45 minute story, they're all great. Thank you Sammy.

I just read about this crazy story in "Murder Machine". Lol. Great book btw.

I guess Sammy got the fact that we wanted to hear more about Roy Demeo 😅 ... Awesome story as always Sammy, keep em coming. 💯 👊

Honestly, Roy's story could make a full movie. Super interesting

*Nino Gaggi is in trouble* Roy DeMeo: I’m gonna do what’s called a pro gamer move.

Yasss! Mr Gravano telling us stories on a Friday night...the weekend can’t be off to a better start! Thank you 👍

Roy also did 3 open heart surgeries before he took out ninos bullet! Than he did a kidney transplant after !

Sammy is everyone’s grandfather 💯

First time ever I have a difficulty believing the story about how Roy managed to put the new bullet without nobody ever finding out about it. The operating doctors would've clocked, the infection would have been a major spoof too. Sounds like something out of hollywood movie tbh.

I own a pair of of tinted glasses that used to belong to Nino Gaggi. I got them from his nieces daughter, when I wear them I feel more sneaky and I leave restaurants without paying. But I always tip well. Just tryin to earn my bones.

If Roy Demayo had gone to university & studied plastic surgery in the legitimate world he would have been very successful.

We all knew Roy was ruthless but never knew his genius mind

OLD MAN PETE PIACENTI (17) WAS A REAL OLD TIMER AND A STAPLE AT THE DINER ON BAY 8TH AND 86TH, THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE HIM ANYMORE, GOD REST HIS SOUL.

Hell yea, the only channel i have notifications on for.

I'd love to see a sit down with Sammy, Crazy Phil, and Dominique Montiglio.

First like. First comment! Looking forward to another story from our guy Sammy G. Stay blessed friends. 🇮🇹

I thought Demeo was under Gaggi. How come he didn’t know this was coming and did anything happen to Demeo for putting Gaggi in this position? There needs to be more info for this story. Also, how horrific.., shot the dude’s son in the head before he killed the Clam (the dad). This Demeo dude is starting to sound like a real jerk.

Ol jimmy the clam. I love the gangster names 👍👍😀😀

They need a movie on nino and Roy, a legit movie even Anastasia and Galante as well... way over due

Roy creeping around the hospital on some Luca Brasi type ish mixed with some Jason Bourne and some Mission Impossible type shit all mixed together in one of those Ninja Blenders. Crazy, crazy stuff.Hard-core. Edit: I was thinking of the hitman that creeps around the hospital in The Godfather to try and kill Roth, not Luca Brasi(Don Corleone's personal bodyguard). I don't know the guy's name, however.

Roy Demeo was a lot of things but the biggest thing of all was loyal. Do you know the chances and cojones it took to put all that together and at the end get killed by the guy you saved,Nino Gaggi

How about stories about Dominic Montiglio (Nino Gaggi’s gofer). He was the go-between between Gaggi and DeMeo.

Had no idea Roy was this clever. More please

I'm pretty sure he just paid the doctor to switch out the bullet and told his mates he did it with a pocket knife to sound like a badass, lol. I would too.

Another great story of Roy DeMeo👍, and I hope a lot more to come🙏. Sammy and all the rest of you, have a nice weekend !!!

What about the jackeeeet?

Wow! That was a skillfully genius tactic Dameo pulled off. 👏👏

I take this story with a huge grain of salt. A guy walks into a hospital and cuts a bullet out of a patient?

Love the channel keep the stories coming read your book like 10 times

Jimmy The Clam nephew was the detective who worked for gas pipe , I think .

This Story is just INSANE...Im cracking up here...UNREAL...lol...What a life Roy lived...Again the story ranks #1 in my book

Jimmy THE CLAM. Probably the best mob name ever

I wish Roy Demeo's ghost would start a RU-vid channel 😁😁

How does this channel not have over a million subs?

Roy is the most interesting wiseguy for me. Fascinating stories.. happy we finally get more insights on him.

Roy did all that just for Nino to end up killing him one day. Crazy

Even tho Roy was a freakin psycho dude was a hell of a money maker as well just got done finishing for the sins of my father by Albert Demeo really good book about Roy and his crew

Facts. Roy demeo uncle was a medical examiner maybe that was the connection to the hospital. Also when Roy demeo n the crew killed Andre kates in the key foods butcher department n threw him out in the dumpster, when a bum was lookin for food n shit he found a leg. Roy demos uncle was the medical examiner on Andre Kats. Love demeo story’s. Great stuff Sammy.

I'd really be interested in listening to a longer video about Nino Gaggi. I don't know what it is, but there's something about him that's always fascinated me.

Nino gaggi really was a strange character, the only stuff we know is from his nephew Dominic Montiglio. Crazy how loyal Roy was

Patiently waiting for some videos on The Chin!

Sammy I’m absolutely loving all the Roy stories!!!

Roy was a genius a crazy one but , never the less a genius . Roy made alot of money for castellano and had a army of killers by his side. We need a Roy demeo documentary. Too bad Roy did not live a longer life and we could of gotten more stories like this.

Wild story !! Lol next I wanna hear another story with you n your caption taddo lol he’s was a true gangsta too school you well !! Man Everytime you tell a story sammy a movie plays in my head ! Shit if we can’t turn these all into movies we def can do a show 🤣🤣 but I would love a long 3hr/4hr movie on all this man it would be epic !!

Nino's nephew Dominic Montiglio said "My uncle Nino.. His only dream in life was to die in the streets with his gun in his hand." That's gangsta..

I heard about this story and always wondered how Nino Gaggi got away with that case. Well I guess now we know how.

Sammy. You got a few things wrong about this but thanks for sparking my memory. The beef was Jimmy and his son, well his son got ripped off by Roy in one way or another over drug's. Jimmy went to Paul and told Paul that Roy and Nino were dealing drug's and asked for permission to kill Roy and Nino. Paul told Nino and Roy what Jimmy had said and asked gave Roy and Nino permission to Kill Jimmy and his son. Under false pretenses which Jimmy should of known better Roy and Nino invited Jimmy and his son to a peace deal and a sit down at the Gemini lounge. So eventually Jimmy and his son meet up with Roy, Nino, Peter and pick them up. Jimmy's son was driving and Jimmy was in the passenger seat. I think Jimmy knew something was about to go down and started insisting that his son pull over because he had to piss. Roy Nino and Peter executed Jimmy and his son in broad daylight in the car. Roy was able to take off on foot meanwhile Nino and Peter were being followed by a witness who eventually tried to hail down a cab to call the police.. IT just so happened that the cab driver was a housing cop moonlighting for extra money and tried to stop Nino and Peter. By this time Roy already took off.I don't know to much about Peters role but I think he was bamboozledand had no clue what was about to go down or he did know but didn't expect it to happen like it did but he did take part in the shooting. And yes Roy did try and switch up the bullet at this point though Nino was in the hospital ward on Rikers Island. I forget the whole story. I think one of the jurors was bribed in this case. The crazy thing about this whole thing one of the responding officers to the shooting was Louis Eppolito Jimmy Eppolitos first cousin. That's right the responding officer's was one of the Mafia cop's Louis Eppolito and Steven Carracappa. Imagine that. What a coincidence.

You have one hell of a memory Sammy!

Jimmy "The Clam" 😂😂😂 The NY mafia names kill me.

More Roy Demeo stories please. Do you think Roy and the Gemini twins would havedone a podcast?

When are we going to hear about why and how Roy got killed. I'm waiting for that story.

A 9 minute story isn't long enough.. we need the hour long podcast episodes back.

How about a Dominick Montiglio story?

That was some story. Very smart of Roy to sort it out and come up with a plan that fast.

This dude would give even Jesus the creeps.

I don't believe this story for a minute, like how tf would Sammy know things like this?!

Nino WORE IT.

I love the slight little smirk Sammy gets when some beats the charges they are 100% guilty of.

Dimeo wouldnt have flipped like castrllano thought .. I think

I’ve been dying to hear a Roy Demaeo story.

Dont believe this pish fur a second

Sammy that’s the most amazing story I ever heard ✌️✌️🙏

From Wikipedia. On October 1, 1979, Gaggi and DeMeo shot and killed both Eppolitos. However, a witness alerted an off-duty policeman, who soon found Gaggi walking away from the crime scene (DeMeo had gone in a different direction). After a brief shootout, the policeman wounded Gaggi in the neck and arrested him. Although charged with the murders, and the attempted murder of the police officer, Gaggi was only convicted of assault. He was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in federal prison. While Gaggi was in prison, DeMeo became acting capo of Gaggi's crew. In 1981, Gaggi's sentence was overturned on appeal and he was released from prison. Gaggi had bribed a juror to make false claims of government misconduct during the trial.

One thing about watching Sammy's videos make mme rather sad when I think about things. I love the stories, and the first hand history presented to us, the viewers, in Sammy's videos. It make me wish I had been a bit more aware when I was a much younger man and took time to sit down and listen to stories from my Grandmother, and some older family members from her generation when I had the chance. Especially Grandma. My grandfather was a Texas Ranger for most of his career. He passed away long before I was born so I never had the pleasure, and privilege of knowing him. The stories I could have learned from Grandma would have been priceless to me today. Thank you ever so much for the stories Mr. Gravanno!
