Mobster - Frank DeCicco

- A brief history of Gambino underboss Frank DeCicco, also known as Frankie Cheech. He served under John Gotti taking part in the Paul Castellano hit on Dec. 16, 1985. He was killed in retaliation by a car bomb on April 13, 1986.
THE REAL TOUGH GUYS ARE THOSE WHO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING AND GO TO WORK TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY EVEN WHEN THEY FEEL TOO SICK TO GET OUT OF BED...THEY BUILT THIS COUNTRY AND THEY ARE NOT SAFE ON THE STREETS THEY BUILT WITH CALLOUSED HANDS...THESE MEN AND WOMEN I RESPECT...GIVE HONOR TO THEM...... NOT A BUNCH OF BEASTS WHO WOULD MURDER THEIR OWN FAMILY.
I think if Mr. Neil was made boss, with his ability to control John and with his masterful way of commanding loyalty from all his guys, he most likely would have chosen Frank DeCicco on his deathbed, as the new boss. Everybody saw Franky as smart, cool and collected. Few people would have argued with that, including John, who looked to Mr. Neil like a father and respected him greatly. People blame John for the downfall of the family--and rightly so, to an extent. He certainly is not the only one who should be held accountable for the fall of the family. But let's not forget that it was him on those tapes, naming names and talking about crimes, something Carlo never did so openly and so loudly. It was John's admission (on tape) about Sammy's direct involvement that spurred Sammy to talk to the Feds. Some ask, "What choice did Sammy have?" Well, for starters he could have kept his mouth shut, but...when the "Boss" isn't keeping his mouth shut, talking loudly about his people--people who were closest to him--then I can see how and why Sammy felt betrayed. I, personally, feel that John, with his flamboyant brass, his ego and flashy style, not to mention that he enjoyed the publicity (that he could not rein in his swagger in the face of the camera) were all contributing factors in the eventual disintegration, from within the Borgata's own highest walls. Simply put, he (Johnny Boy) lacked the discreet sensibilities as well as the ability to exercise and regulate self control that is required to head such a large and powerful organization. He was the opposite of Carlo, who was very secretive and extremely discreet in everything he did. But, back to my original point: It was Carlo's decision to make Big Paul new Boss that was what really brought the whole thing down. Big Paul was a "Businessman" at heart, and not a "Gangster" like Mr. Neil, who lived, walked and breathed "the streets" through and through. I think that the Family would have thrived, and lasted longer under Mr. Neil. Mr. Neil would have run it like a brotherhood, the way it was meant to be run. Big Paul was only in it for himself. He didn't care for his people whatsoever. All he cared about was the money and the power. He had no heart for anybody, unlike Mr. Neil who was always with his guys, around them, checking in on them. Big Paul, I think, was ashamed of them--the kind of people they were, but he had no problem taking their money and telling them what to do. Between Franky, Johnny Boy and Sammy...I think Frank would have made the best Boss. Definitely. He was the smartest, and I think that he would have been much more careful and quieter than John and a whole lot less reckless than Sammy. ( :E
Didi Portia very good👍🇬🇧
Согласен с твои мнением !!! Всё по факту !
Paul should’ve stayed on as a high level capo doing white collar crimes, I completely agree Neil should’ve been made boss. Paul and Gotti wouldn’t be constantly feuding, and money would’ve been made hand over fist. It’s kind of ironic how Carlo brought the family to the monumental heights, then brought it all down by appointing Paul as Boss over Neil
If Carlo had said you gotta go, I woulda come down here with these two Zips....and you would go.
John you can not wack. A made man on some else crew. There are rules.
Best gotti movie made
You break the rules and this whole god damn thing of ours cracks and crumbles! You never break the rules....capiche?!
Someone has watched the HBO movie Gotti. Me too. Gteat movie. I have probably seen it at least 100 times.
John Gotti clipped your scumbag soldier, because your scumbag soldier deserved it. John Gotti is Cosa Nostra.
Gotti had to be one of the worst, if not THE worst mob boss. La Cosa Nostra is supposed to operate "in the shadows" not on the cover of Time Magazine.
Gravano would have been much better than Gotti, i'm sure the Gambinos would have remained much stronger. Gotti ruined them. the only thing Gotti had was a tremendous amount of balls, then his balls became his ego and he thought he was a movie star. Carlo Gambino would have disapproved of his reign.
I dont agree my friend.
@@donjohngotti cmon mange’s right
@@md8syndicate531 I know he is right but my ego ... 😃😃
GOTTI had no brains
A reply that mobsters was forced to dealing drugs just to survive is heartbreaking. I almost cried.
"Almost cried"? Lol ok.
This is a life that takes you nowhere. Why would anyone in their right mind would want to live this life and to allow their children to become a part of this dangerous, backstabbing, horrible life
It'll take you to prison for life.

Not that different than the other "business men". We created a society where the dark parts of ourselves is aspired too. Greed, laziness, ignorance and cowardice with no responsibility. These are the true values which our world is run on.
You struggle long enough in life, you'll do anything to make sure you have the means to take care of your loved ones so never judge people's choices; money is evil
Gotti was the shittiest boss of all time, He's got so much recognition because of his ego and well tailored suits.
Gravano and De Cicco would have been the last successors of The Gambino Crime Family
Exactly Gotti killed the mafia pretty much all by himself.
HEY SHUT YOUSE MOUTHS! DO YOUSE HAVE A DEATH WISH OR SUMTHIN!? IF YOU EVA ((EVA)) SAY THAT THAT RAT FINK GRAVANO SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BOSS, YOU'LL BE SWIMMIN WITH THE FISHES!! CAPICE!!?
Gotti was racked with insecurities. Jealous narcissist with a "fame" complex. Bad mix for a gangster.

Sometimes I watch one of these before I go to sleep because your voice is so nice and relaxing 😎
Most ppl commenting don't know the background. Paul C was Carlos nephew. Carlo was married to his 1st cousin and when Carlo was sent from Italy to America when he was 16, it was his cousins, The Castellano's that looked after him, got him work etc. And being old school Sicilian Carlo of course kept the power within the blood family and appointed Paul to capo upon his death.
“Ah...you know me, Don Carlo. If I can’t curse I can’t talk”
I love that movie, I watch it at least once a year. It's on CZcams, good copy.
I wonder what would have happened if Mr Neil became the boss
@@yourmomshouse8993 He would get old and on his deathbed, select Gotti to be a boss. So back to square one.
I wonder what would have happened if the Chin actually whacked Gotti. Then who would have become boss.

Frank was a man’s man. Tough as nails and no nonsense yet down to earth.😢rip
@@anthonydelgrosso4818correct
DeMeo wasn't a capo. Nino Gaggi was DeMeo's capo. In fact, DeMeo was the only made man in the DeMeo crew. The rest of the guys were associates and prospects who hadn't been straightened out yet. After Castellano had DeMeo whacked, Testa and Senter went to work for the Luchese family.
Narrarator is Dominic Montiglio,
Nino Gaggi's nephew and great guy who recently passed...
Frank DeCicco actually passed the hit off to Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso, who in turn recruited the “Gemini Twins” Anthony Senter and Joey Testa to kill they’re boss Roy Demeo. However, Roy was only a soldier in the Gambino family, he wasn’t a capo, he was in Nino Gaggi’s crew but Roy had a crew of associates. The Gemini twins were promised rank in the Lucchese family if they killed Roy. After Roy was killed, they were made in the Lucchese family. A lot of people think Roy Demeo was a capo, and that his crew members were all made soldiers, but that isn’t correct; Nino Gaggi was Roy’s capo. Also, John Gotti’s crew pretended that they were broke in order to gain support from other crews who were actually broke. They were making a lot of money off heroin, they didn’t start selling heroin because they were broke; Angelo Ruggiero’s brother Sal was a major drug dealer who died in a plane crash. Angelo then took over the operation, it had nothing to do with them starving for money.
You have captured it so well.
@@vinnyasin thank u
Damn where are you getting your information from bro because that’s crazy I didn’t know that’s how the Gemini twins got hooked up with Casso I knew Frankie decicco gave the Gemini twins the contract on their former boss but I didn’t casso was involved in that transaction
@@tonydaza8504 it was in Philip Carlo’s biography on Casso, I know some of the stuff probably isn’t completely true, or is Casso’s view on things but this I believed because we all know that the Gemini twins got inducted into the Lucchese family, so it jived with wut casso said
Tony Senter and Joey Testa were not "soldiers" ( 4:05) in the Gambino family, but associates.
They were after they set him up though lol
True. Also, Roy was a soldier, not a capo. Nino Gaggi was Roy’s capo and Testa and Senter were associates, part of Roy’s crew and were his protégées. After Roy was killed, Testa and Senter became made members of the Lucchese family and served as hitmen for Vic Amuso and Gaspipe Casso.
@@pietrosavastano4641 they joined the Luchesse as soldiers.
@@Rockesb888 Roy was a soldier but was acting capo when Nino wasn't around.
@@NoReligion77 you're right. I appreciate the correction
I had a 'no-show' in school but the Nun's caught wind of it and put a contract out on me.
Not.... "The Penguin" !!!!
Max Mason 😂😂😂😂
My father used to be a nun. He was at the unemployment benefit office and they asked him his profession and he said 'nun!'.
I know what you're saying I did eight years hard time with those nuns
They had a ,, sit down'' and gave you a pass.
After that reality show growing up Gotti with his daughter and those obnoxious boys of her came out I decided I had enough of Gotti!
I ran a small business on the North Shore not far from where the daughter lived at that time. I hired seasonal high school aged kids for the summers. I had one one time who was the Gottis kids age bracket. he told me of a house or keg party those kids were going to show up at.
Word spread just to warn people not laugh at them as they were illiterate, not very bright and wore make-up......
Remember they had to put subtitles so you could understand them? In a way i felt bad for those kids, being so spoiled was not their doing.
The entire Gotti clan was and is a bunch of dumbasses.
One of his grandson got arrested for extasis distribution
The picture of Gotti in the car is not with Franki. That's Bobby Boreillo, they look similar though so I can see how the mistake was made.
Isn't that "Jo Jo" Corozzo ?
+dndlionx you are right
That isn’t boriello that jo jo corozzo

Thanks my friend. And Thanks for watching!
@@Bloodlettersandbadmen Volume is a little low...
I like the background music. It brings a more serious and dramatic tone to this documentary. If only they would put it in the next mob movie.
Sammy had the utmost respect for Dicocco who was not only a hard man but had intelligence and respect on the street unlike Castellano towards the end. Sammy says he was the sort of no nonsense guy who called a spade a spade and at the time of the Castellano hit even though he was on the side of Gotti would often call Gotti out if he was wrong rather than agree with everything he said. He told him to listen to Sammy when planning the Castellano hit and the aftermath as Sammy unlike Gotti had been involved in many mafia wars before and said if you hadn't broken the rules then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.
Shut the Fk up, did you know Decicco’s uncle and family members and many others suspect Sammy being responsible for the bombing, it was a remote controlled bomb. Meaning if that car bomb was really intended for Gotti whoever pressed that button would’ve waited till he was in the car
He paid for gotti mistake. I always questioned why he didn’t take the spot and just let gotti take it.
I would love to see one on Frank LoCascio!! Thanks. Awesome channel!
Why have you never done one on Frank Locassio?
Through my research, No one in the Gambino family like Castellano and disagreed with him being made boss of the family.
Correction: No one in Gotti's crew liked Castellano. We aren't sure how the other capo's felt.
@@dazz9268 correction nobody wanted castellano as boss everyone in the Gambino family wanted Neil as boss but carlo made the choice and everyone had to deal with it. It is a fact nobody liked him in his own family...truth be told only chin liked him but chin wasnt in Gambino
@bloodletters & Badmen on 3:07 its not frank de cicco next to gotti but Joseph Corozzo.
+Janno26186 You may be correct. So much on the internet is mislabeled.
Joseph "Jo Jo" Corozzo was Gotti's wheelman "driver" for much of his tenure as boss. He then became a caporegime. His son is an attorney.
You guys know “big hock” from canarsie? He was a fullback for the dragons.

This is far and away the best "mobster" channel on CZcams. Most others, even those including high budget shows, tell me things I already know about people I am already aware of. And many are sloppily researched at that. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Carlo. Be sure to share it with your family and friends. Have a Merry Christmas.
Had Carlo appointed Neal Dellacroache this whole mess would have never happened. I can never understand how anyone would want to live this type of life. God Bless.
I'd like to believe that the mess may never have happened, but based on Gotti's ambitions and flamboyancy, this was practically an impossibility. Let's assume as boss, Mr Neil having to appoint an underboss and since he did not favour Castellano, that would have been either Gotti or maybe DeCicco. If it was DeCicco, he would have been boss for only 4 and a half months with him dying in April 1986 and Mr Neil having died in Dec 1985. Bear with me here....if DeCicco was the new boss, he would have appointed either Gotti or Gravano as underboss. If it was Gotti, could DeCicco fully trust him? No! Gotti would have got itchy feet and eventually taken out DeCicco to become the new boss.
If the underboss was Gravano, Gotti who would be a capo doing the hard yards on the streets, would plot and scheme in taking out both Gravano and DeCicco. This would create a mess that the Feds could not ignore and ultimately would lead to Gotti's demise.
Whichever way you look at the situation, all roads leads back to Gotti and the inevitable mess he created by taking out Castellano. To be fair, Gotti had no choice as he knew with Mr Neil dead, he had to blink first. Had he laid low and waited for Castellano to be sentenced to life, he still wouldn't be safe as Tommy Bilotti as new boss would target him.
Best source for all things "Mob"..thanks for another great presentation.
Dave Sparks Thanks my friend.
Seeing him every other day on Bath avenue, in my neighborhood there were a few clubs on Bath , I grew up seeing all these guys the Goodfellas .
@Dan Chapowski You're the loser
Gotti still owes me a fiver from wen I bought him a kebab after night out in London
I'm from the west side of Ave.U. I used to be on Bath Ave.often.👍🏻
Hello good sir, may I know what is the music in the background. Thank you
I bet that’s where they got the idea in the sopranos when they tried to take out Phil leotardo but got a lookalike
Same with Tony’s reckless gambling came from Gotti.
“A feared killer within the family “.. they were all killers or completely willing to kill , no need to sensationalize it and while we’re on the subject I love how the government persecuted the 5 families for the same things that the government does on a much larger scale .
Exactly
Who was to be in the meeting in the Sparks Steakhouse?
What was the draw that made Castellano leave his White House?
So DeCicco and Gravano plotted to kill Gotti if things didn't work out.
+Algonquin81 No....it was DeCicco and Gravano and it was before Castellano was even killed. They decided to back Ruggiero and Gotti on their plan to kill Castellano, but decided if it didn't work out with Gotti in charge, they would kill Gotti.
+Algonquin81 you are so right man do you read a lot of books on the mob i do
Me too i know i know just about all Mafia history its sad that the Mafia is not what it used to be what do you think of Philadelphia Mafia boss Joseph merlino i think he is a punk and a john gotti wennbe
@Boondock Saint No its a recording of Frank and Sammy. disproving your theory that it was just a story from Sammy.
According to Gravano .. Gravano is full of shit cant trust what he says
Love your vids bro. Hey, do you know much about Frank "Frankie Loc" Locascio? There he is on the left at 9:21 , with his usual big smile, looking like an Insurance salesman. (lol, I say that because he looks EXACTLY like my dad's friend, this really nice insurance salesman.).. Not much is really said on his wiki page, just that he was made in the 50's, was a bookmaker and loanshark. I just have this curiosity because he is so familiar looking, and it's not like he wasn't high up in the family, he was the consigliere (or underboss?) at the time of the arrest.
NateM he was Consigliere which is the 3rd highest position in the Mafia
Nino Gaggi orchestrated the Roy hit not Frank; they have alternative facts in this vid!
@Valdis4418 i always thought the ice man killed demeo but i guess not..

The Gambino went to anthony casso to kill roy.he told anthony center and Joey testa they would have to kill Roy or they would be killed.anthony casso made that happen.
The bottom line! the bottom line! that's business man talk pauly u don't know the streets u never have
The whole mess was Carlos gambinos fault, not choosing the correct successor .
+colin moore Many would agree. But do you believe Gotti was good for the family?
Bloodletters & Badmen
Gotti rose up because Gambino didnt choose a wiser successor,who could keep the blue collar members happy. Gotti made himself a target with his showboating in public..i guess C Gambino thought his own family was more important than his mafia family.
+colin moore I would agree. Thanks for the comments.
colin moore yep
Midnight Rambler That's what I think.After he died I don't think he cared too much about what happened, he wasn't gonna be there.

Nahhhhh, Big Paul owns that title.
Nobody out due big Paul in that title gotti 2nd tho lol
i say vito genovese
Gotti was the antichrist of the mob and Big Paulie was the mob’s savior. No questions asked
Nah what about Vic and Gas? They fucked the family up, killed most of their good guys, then Gas tried to flip, FAILED and both took the family with them
@ 1:31, that’s Paul Castallano and his wife Louise (I think that was her name). Not Don Carlo (Gambino)

I’ve met one “Made Guy” in my life. It was at a huge Labor Union conference. I was a kid at the time and in hindsight, the guy looked like a total cliche. He looked like Paulie Walnuts off the Sopranos except a super expensive suit, gold medallions, gold rings, and tight security.
I asked my father if he “in the Mafia” and he just smacked me in the back of the head.

Was there any retaliation for this hit?
The underboss of the lucchese crime family went after gotti for killing his boss. Anthony gaspipe. I think the genovese supported them in this.
Yes. Gaspipe Casso was shot in retaliation for this bombing. He survived though.
At 6:32. So, I always wondered what the hell was big Paul holding in his hand when he died there?
Umbrella
Decicco had the arm length of a T-Rex
2 things I would like to say .1 if Neil was Boss after Carlo the Gotti crew would still had to follow the rules. 2.Deccico was a sacrafice to the Chin (Comission)for killing Castellano.
Most endings in Life are pretty sad..
And most beginnings.
The only mistake Don Carlo ever made: picking his candy ass brother in law as his successor.
I wonder too but maybe carlo knew if he made Neil the boss that when Neil died it would go to dumbass Gotti
Great videos ... Do a few of the Detroit Family
You would have though Paul watched the Godfather and would have known that kind of meeting at Sparks wasn't designed to end well. Paul was such a trusting soul.
Agree that Castellano was arrogant and he didn't have his 'ear to the ground' like a Boss of a top crime family should. He was more concerned with appearing to be a Fortune 500 businessman and kept his underlings--who were doing the dirty work--away from him.
He was tempted to the steak house by some talk of big money because he was greedy. Gotti was actually on scene to finish him off if it went wrong!
1: 28 LOL, paul's wife is "don carlo"!
Nice video. Next time try doing the narration in the same room as the computer.
that's salvatore "sammy the bull" gravano's picture
Nice doc, but the picture of him with gotti in the car…. It’s Nick Corozzo, not Decicco. 👍
9:20 Gravanos account of DeCicco's body after the blast. 😲I MUST read this book!
great fuckin' book
I don’t know why but Sammy Gravano describing Cheech’s body after the car bombing is funny, espcially with the “he had no ass...” bit.
Awesome job on this one, as always.
Some of these docos have very bad sound levels,way too low even when full volume, shame as they are very interesting.
George Anastasia's new book on John Alite senior associate of Junior Gotti is not a bad read. It portrays a more street level view of the Gotti era.
Most of his crimes were committed after he was chased from Queens. And his murder count rises every time he opens his mouth.
For some men who grew up poor in NYC back in the day and weren't academically inclined I could see where they could be lured in. Having money and women and an easy lifestyle might seem better than dying poor at 80 and experiencing none of those things. They'd rather take the chance of getting a bullet in the head at 47 or spending the last 30 years of their life in jail in exchange for having 30 years of living the perceived "good life". I could see the draw of the mob life back in the heyday when they had a stranglehold on NYC and before the RICO act. Still not good idea but I get it.
Joining the mob nowadays would be insane. You would have to be born into a mob family to even consider it. Everyone rats to save their skin and with DNA and modern day surveillance tactics it's pretty hard to even operate.
This was karma for decicco he set up big paul then the force's of darkness came to get him

Good question Crystal. Its possible. But the reports I read, John expected them to come after him. He may not have realized at the time they would go after Frank too.
where did you get the information about sammy and frank plot to kill gotti?
I believe this is in the book Underboss. But I wouldn't call it a plan as much as I would an understanding. This was the way Sammy explained it.

My input? It's bullshit, take it form me. I've heard it from people who're in the know.
Nino Gaggi true sammy bullshited alot dont listen to anything that guy says i truely believe that john would have taken sammy out
+The mafia they all bullshited.sammy,hill,kuklinski
Why does it sound like your recording from your living TV?
That was Paul Castellano's wife Nina Manno in the car with him, not Carlo Gambino but thanks BB this was a good find on Frankie Cheech. Not enough about him on the net.
+Trevor Philips Which one?
+Bloodletters & Badmen 5:21
Trevor Philips Okay. But who said it was Carlo Gambino?
+Bloodletters & Badmen 1:30
Trevor Philips You are correct. My bad.
the volume is so low
Whenever I hear his name I think of the the movie Coneheads.
Loved this channel. I wonder why he hasn't uploaded in years?
I think Gravano might be partially responsible for DeCicco's murder. He might knew John won't come and tip Gigante.
He was "king of backstabbers" and also he needed to manipulate John, which was impossible with smart man as Frank in his place.
I think Gravano just needed John to take a rap. He was on his own all the time.
He did manipulate Gotti into killing whoever Sammy wanted.
What John didn't realize is every murder brought Sammy profit.
I really don't know (as in this treacherous world, even government whitnesses play their games) but I just think it's possible.
El, it is possible. But who knows.

Um, no... The FBI had tapes on Gotti bad mouthing Sammy.
+Nick Smith Please comment when you hit the age of 10. Then you'll be able to use magic tool called calendar.
I truly think that is very possible. We also know for a fact he was feeling something of that nature because he was starting to get really aggravated with gravano. He was even bad mouthing gravano. But I have to say I think Gotti was mostly a prop to take the bosses position. The government and media was all over the place. It's hard to operate a criminal Empire when you're being recorded and conversations are being recorded all the time.
What's the music playing in the background, please?
Sorry my friend. I don't remember. I get all my music from a royalty free site.
It all fell apart when don Carlo died
As smart as Carlo was, he should've realized that giving the top job to Castellano instead of Dellacroce would split the family into dangerous factions and ultimately lead to its decline. I understand he wanted things to turn toward more legitimate avenues of making money, but the truth is, the Mafia was built on the underbelly activities of loan sharking, gambling, prostitution, porn, money laundering and drugs, so the idea of turning it into some kind of Fortune 500 organization was ill-conceived. Also, Castellano did not have the same kind of shrewd understanding of basic human nature as Carlo did and removed himself from his underlings as if he was too good for them and treated them like peons. His dismissive arrogance coupled with Gotti's simmering resentment and ambition was a recipe for a disaster and when Dellacroce died, the die was cast.
All empires fall
@@DarlingNikki2 If Dellacroce became boss, he would probably have picked Gotti as his own successor so you would end up in the same place.
Hello Good Sir, love your channel!! What place is the eatery seen through a key-hole style lense?
Frank was best friends with Sammy Gravano. He still talks of the horror of his bombing murder. Check out Sammy the Bull’s CZcams channel. U won’t be disappointed.
What about Allie Boy?

This is an excellent video, I haven't spotted any incorrect data, and it is very helpful at summarizing the information on Frankie I was looking for for a book I am writing on the DeMeo crew and the cops involved. I am going to include you in an acknowledgement. The only thing I disagree with on the Roy part was that it wasn't really Paul's paranoia that caused Roy to get killed. Roy should have been whacked many times over for many reasons by the time he died.
At 1:29 You write "Paul Castellano and Don Carlo. LOL. That's not Carlo in the car with him. Its his wife!!!
That pic of two guys in car at 3:11 is John Gotti and Joe Corozzo not DeCicco...tighten up....
They were all dealing,big Paul was making so much money from drugs by Roy D
Wish the audio was better
