Part 1: Patriarca Mafia Soldier Vincent Marino on Armored Car Heist That Turned Into Shootout
--------
Vincent “Gigi” Marino sits down with Vlad to discuss the 1989 IHOP shooting of New England mob boss Frank Salemme, the RICO trials that followed, and the sentencing decision he says added 25 years after a jury found the attempted murder allegation not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Marino breaks down the Patriarca crime family war, Salemme’s rise after Raymond Patriarca Jr. and Junior Russo, and the fallout involving John Connolly, Whitey Bulger, Stephen Flemmi, Bobby DeLuca, and FBI informant allegations tied to Boston organized crime. He also addresses the Souza murder enhancement, claims about withheld discovery, Judge Wolf’s courtroom, perjury issues, witness protection, and the legal arguments around double jeopardy and statute of limitations. In a rare admission, Marino discusses his role in the Salemme shooting and why he says the violence unfolded during one of the most chaotic eras in the New England Mafia.
