If you grew up in Chicago in the 70"s and 80"s like me these videos are like gold. What a great group of reporters we had on local tv, John Drummond, Jacobson, Bill Curtis and the investigator Chuck Gowdy
MOBFAX, that was a great video. I have to laugh a little when I think about how a 30 year old news story is hands down more interesting than anything else on TV. Good job!
It surprises me how people can come to a channel like this and not see the connections to the mob and politics especially in Chicago, New York ect.. and then want to argue about it. The Outfit back in the day was certainly pretty well put together. Pat Marcy and crew had things working quite well.
Young man, you are wise beyond your years. Read Ovid Demaris' book, "Captive City:Chicago in Chains". The Outfit used political influence, threats and extortion to reward their family members' companies. The Outfit taught the Chicago Machine, who taught Clinton, Obama and Biden. When Biden first ran for President in the 1988 primaries, who squired him around Chicago? Bill Daley.
Boy does this bring back memories! Being a long time Chicagoland guy, (Northwest, IN), and longtime mob watcher, I remember this investigation like it was yesterday. Some great reporting by Chicago journalist legend Carol Marin.
there's a podcast called deep cover: mob land and season 2 is with the lawyer who became an informant, bob cooley, really good series so far, this shows a lot of what he talks about
It was cool seeing the clip on Accardo at his grandson's wedding. I'd love to see some footage of Milwaukee Phil's funeral if you can find it. I don't even know if it was televised or just surveilled.
Excellent Episode 👍 Sadly with the advent of online media. These Sensational NewsCasts are No More! I,d Love to know what Crime& Corruption is going on in 2023🤔😡
Aleman was subsequently retried for the murder and was given a 300 year sentence. The double jeopardy thing didn't come into play because the whole thing was fixed from the beginning. I believe this action was the result of legislation, and Aleman was the first person to be retried for murder.
The problem is Cooley himself said he didn’t know if the judge would find Aleman guilty or not. I’d say his book disputes his claims the double jeopardy case
yeah, if you ever run into these guys, they're pieces of shit. cheat on the wives, cheat on their taxes, they kill, they steal - and it doesn't even make them happy. they're miserable. they're always sweating over who they have to kick money up to next, and it's only a matter of time before they have to take the rap for some dumb shit they didn't do. don't buy the hype, kid. you're better off working at 99.9% of legit jobs. they're interesting, sure, but pick better heroes
Many lived till their 80s and 90s. Borrowing and not paying or stealing or breaking rules or stealing from the Outfit or close friends or insulting higher ranked or violent people might get you killed though. Or even having a business they wanted if you were crooked and not one of them.
At 20:37 Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's super woman, typical woman always trying to look her best? Forgetting the part about not letting us mere mortals know her true identity? Well guess what? She failed big time, I'm in a little place over the pond and I recognised her,
@@histguy101 I'll get back to you about who she was, at this moment I can't remember what I had for breakfast let alone something that was 2 months ago, as this is something to do with the mafia, why do you want to know? Your not the 5,0 are you? I don't want to be giving secret information to everyone so when I do tell you please keep it to yourself,
@@bradybrapples she is what she is. NOTHING is going right there currenty. Mayor Lori is a bigot, thats been proven. And the city's condition speaks for itself.
Learn real young keep your mouth shut when discussing anything in public or inside cars homes restaurants bathroom etc. If you need to speak business go outside literally out side in open area where microphone cannot receive good sound and be near noisy sound for background just saying
They weren't fighting crime so to speak. They were removing the underworld's influence from our political class. They turned it over to our oligarchy who were easily compromised because of their insatiable greed and depraved behaviors. The difference is in who controls the political class.

Very well done. Whoever put this together, hats off. Amazing trip down Chicago memory lane.
This is when new reporter's did a good job . Know they just read what's in front of them

His book is really good too, When Corruption was King.
Hell yeah! And the book is fantastic as well. When Corruption was King.
Cooley really was the slimy attorney you hear about
Thanks bro!! Nice as usual
Now they just look up your NSA file and look at everything you've ever done in your life.
Very cool please keep it coming!!
Love these News clips. I remember many of these stories 👏👏👏👏👏👏
MORE CHICAGO PLEASE
fantastic job, as always
These are great. It's funny how they talk about Pat Marcy as if he's a legitimate citizen.
Superb compilation
This restaurant exists in most communities in America.....shocking

Huge shout out to MOBFAX for covering the outfit and corruption in Chi-Town
Very well put together! Always enjoy Chicago Cosa Nostra.
Chicago mob very merciless and dangerous

John D'Arco Sr. Connected? C'mon No Way.....lol
Awesome outfit stuff again mobfax!
Is Fred Roti any relation to Nicholas Roti, who resigned as chief of the organized crime bureau after the Homan Square scandal?
Don't know about that but his father was Bruno "the bomber" Roti, an extremely powerful and violent gangster from the Al Capone days.
Met one of Roti's grandsons. Very nice and funny guy.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I was born and raised in Chicago and still live here nice too see a video about real gentleman and good fellas!!!!😎👍

Why do many people from Chicago seem to take great pride in their hometown mafia family?

Think how small they are now and wireless
Oh, yeah! I bet they felt "outraged"! What a "shocking" discovery! :D :D
Good Old Days in Chgo!😜😝😠
ANOTHER GOOD ONE MOE…
Carol’s hairdos seemed extremely flammable!
Isn't it strange a restaurant finds recording equipment and just rings up the fbi OC task force?
If you were a bookie for the mob or working in mob rules areas you knew your life would be short.
Many lived till their 80s and 90s. Borrowing and not paying or stealing or breaking rules or stealing from the Outfit or close friends or insulting higher ranked or violent people might get you killed though. Or even having a business they wanted if you were crooked and not one of them.
The mob will never be the same, bc they Hate competition!
More Chicago! Spilatro
Wish they put the year in description s
Roughly 30 years ago.
Thanks
31st amd Princeton ain't that the block Freddy's is on?
A bygone era in Chicago
What a shame
Is this from the early 90s, maybe late 80s?
Seems to me the MOB ran Chicago pretty well back in the day lol
Was Vito Marzullo made?
naw he wasn't made. Knew a lot of made guys but only an associate.
He owned Kringas and Marzullo funeral home. All Chicago Italians wear waked there. My Great Grandmother included……He was also a politician.
Busboy ruins the FBI wiretap….i am sure that place was a ghost town the next day.
BLATANT!!
The Outfit had a good thing going in Chicago.
But it wasn't a good thing for the law abiding citizens of Chicago
Is being a human parasite a good thing?
Shot 9 ball with Ron Majors once. Miami bowl Archer Ave Chicago.
I always has a crush on Carol, smart tall redhead.
Agree 100%
Same
She really looks good here
All is fair in love and war ..and the mob
👍
bravo! legit -- media monitoring, e.g. -Bacons- Cision -- deep cut
A better Chicago then than now
Met Solly D at his son's bar. Absolute gentleman and super nice guy.
What's the bar?
@@rowdiken4837 rather not say.
probably at that place up north. Same place where I met him.
@@codychandler8930 until you crossed him intentionally or unintentionally.
@@codychandler8930 Because you will get whacked for typing the name of the bar? Maybe you have no idea and your making up a story.
Didnt it later come out that along with Marcy, Fred Roti was also a made man?
Gotta love Chicago mob
Yeah their great if you love thieves, extortionists, drug dealers, and murderers.

pro-crime, pro-racism, pro-anarchy, pro everything thats detrimental to society.

Back when the FBI actually fought crime.
They weren't fighting crime so to speak. They were removing the underworld's influence from our political class.
They turned it over to our oligarchy who were easily compromised because of their insatiable greed and depraved behaviors.
The difference is in who controls the political class.
No surprise about the COURRPTIon in Chicago biggest surprise was an honest lawyer
Do not fuck with the Outfit!👿💀☠🔪
