Part 1: Mafia Hitman Gregory Scarpa Jr: I Would've Done a Hit on My Dad if I Knew He Was Snitching
--------
In a revealing interview, Gregory Scarpa Jr. opened up about his infamous father, Gregory Scarpa Sr., a notorious Colombo family mobster who doubled as a longtime FBI informant. Starting in 1980, Scarpa Sr. reportedly developed a close relationship with FBI handler Lilly DeVecchio, who helped shield him from arrests despite his ongoing criminal activities. Scarpa Jr. confirmed that his father was rumored to have a "license to kill," a claim he staunchly defended, emphasizing Scarpa Sr.'s ruthlessness and the lethal consequences for anyone who suspected his informant role.
Despite Scarpa Sr.’s involvement in violent crimes and scams—including a major credit card scam for which he was indicted in 1985—DeVecchio's intervention led to probation instead of prison time. Scarpa Jr. also acknowledged the brutal reality of mob life, where suspected informants were routinely killed, underscoring the perilous balance Scarpa Sr. maintained between Mafia loyalty and cooperation with law enforcement.
