In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins sits down with former FBI agent Séamus McElearney, author of Flipping Capo, for a deep dive into one of the most remarkable Mafia investigations and how he took down the DeCavalcante Family. McElearney recounts his unlikely path from the world of banking to the FBI, driven by a lifelong fascination with law enforcement. Despite being told he didn't have the “right background,” he pushed forward—eventually landing in New York's Organized Crime Squad C-10, where he investigated both the Bonanno and DeCavalcante crime families. He describes the rare and demanding experience of working two Mafia families at once, and the teamwork required to dismantle them from the inside out. As the conversation turns to his book, Flipping Capo, McElearney explains the years-long process of writing it and the rigorous FBI review needed to ensure no sensitive investigative techniques were revealed. He shares early memories of notorious boss Joe Massino, and the high-stakes surveillance and arrests that defined his career. A major focus of the episode is the arrest and flipping of Anthony Capo, a feared DeCavalcante soldier—and the first made member of that family ever to cooperate with the government. McElearney walks listeners through the tension of that operation, his calculated approach to treating Capo with respect, and the psychological tightrope that ultimately persuaded Capo to talk. That single decision triggered a domino effect of cooperation that helped bring down the New Jersey mob family many believe inspired The Sopranos. Gary and Séamus dive into the proffer process, cooperation agreements, and the behind-the-scenes strategies used to turn high-level mobsters. McElearney also draws comparisons between real mob figures and the fictional world of The Sopranos, revealing how much of the hit series was grounded in the actual cases he worked. The interview closes with McElearney's reflections on how organized crime continues to evolve. While today's mob may look different from the one he battled in the '90s, he stresses that the methods—and the money—still flow. His candid insights offer a rare look into the changing face of the American Mafia and the ongoing fight to contain it.

Transcript [0:00]Well, hey, welcome all you wiretappers. Good to be back here in studio of Gangland Wire. This is Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective. [0:07]Welcome to Gangland Wire [0:07]I have a former FBI agent as my guest today. And, you know, I love having these FBI agents on. I’ve had a lot of them on and I worked with a lot of the guys and they’re really good guy. Everyone I ever met and worked with was a really good guy. Now they got their deadhead just like we did. But these aggressive guys are the ones that write books and I’ve got one on today. Seamus McElherney. Welcome, Seamus. Thank you. It’s great to be here. All right. Well, an Irish name now working on the Italian mob, huh? How come you weren’t working on the Westie? So they were maybe gone by the time you came around. There’s no such thing. [0:47]Oh, yeah. You got your code. You Irish guys got your code, too. All right, Seamus, you got a book, Killing, or Killing, Flipping Capo. I want to see it back up over your shoulder there. Really interesting book, guys. He flipped a guy named Anthony Capo. And he really took down the real Sopranos, if you will. So Seamus, tell us a little about how you got started with the FBI, your early career. Okay. When I got out of school, I really didn’t know what to do. And I got into banking and I just decided that was really not for me. And I got lucky where I got to meet an FBI agent. and I was just so fascinated by the work. It seemed like every day was different. You know, one day you could meet a CEO and another day you could be doing surveillance. It just, the job just seemed really interesting. [1:38]Like fascinating to me. So I decided to try to become an agent. And I was constantly told, Shane, you should never become an agent. You didn’t have the background for it. And one, one, a motto in life to me is persistence beats resistance. And I was just determined to become an agent. And back then in the late 1990s, it was a long process and it took me close to two years to actually become an agent. And I was selected to go down to training and I was very fortunate to be selected to go down to training. Now it was your first office back up in New York and the, one of the organized crime squads, or did you go out into boonies and then come back? I actually was born and raised in New York, and I was fortunate to be selected to be sent back to New York. So my first squad, I was sent back to the city, back to 26 Federal Plaza, [2:26]Seamus’ FBI Journey [2:24]and I was assigned to a squad called C-10. And C-10 was an organized crime squad, which was responsible for the Bonanno family, and then later became the DeCavocanti family as well, which I can explain to you yeah yeah we’ll get we’ll get deep into that now now let’s let me ask you a little bit about the book tell the guys a little bit about the process of writing a book from your fbi experiences. [2:47]It’s a long process. First of all, I was contacted by someone who was interested [2:55]Writing a Book [2:53]in writing a book based upon my career. People had encouraged me to write a book because I had a very successful career. And when you work organized crime, it’s never just about you. It’s about the people that you work with, right? It’s definitely a team. It’s never just one person. I had great supervisors. I had great teammates. I had a great partner. And so I was approached to write a book. So then I had no idea. So there was an agent, a famous agent, an undercover agent named Jack Garcia. So I kind of really leaned on him to kind of learn how to write a book. And it’s a long process. You have to get an agent, the publisher, a co-author I had. And then when you finally have all that, and you do have the manuscript ready to be written, you have to send it down to the FBI. And that is a long process. The FBI, in this instance, probably took over a year for them to review the book because what they want to make sure is you’re not revealing any investigative techniques. Fortunately for me, a lot of the information that is in the book is public information because of all the trials that I did. Interesting. Yeah, it is. It is quite a I know it was quite a process. [4:00]Now, the banana squad, you work in a banana squad. You know, we know a little bit about the banana squad. [4:07]Was Joe Pacino the boss when you first came in? Yes, he was. And I actually had the pleasure of arresting Joe as well. Ah, interesting. I did a show on Joe. He’s a really interesting guy. I know my friend, who was at the banana squad, I think just before you were, and he talked a lot of, to me personally, he won’t go on the show, but he talked a lot about Joe Massino. He said, actually, saw him in the courtroom one time later on, he hadn’t seen him in several years. And, and Joe looked across the courtroom. He said, Doug, how are you doing? He said, Joe was that kind of guy. He was real personal. He was. [4:44]Yeah, so when I first got to the squad, the supervisor at the time was a gentleman named Jack Steubing, and he had the thought process to go after Joe and his money. So there was two accountants that were assigned to a squad at that time. It was Kimberly McCaffrey and Jeff Solette, and they were targeted to go after Joe and his money. And it was a very successful case. And when we arrested Joe, I think it was in January of 2003, I believe it was, I was assigned to be part of that arrest team. Interesting. You know, McCaffrey and Sled are going to be talking about that case out at the Mob Museum sometime in the near future. I can’t remember exactly when it is. And it was a hell of a case. I think it just happened, actually. Oh, did it? Okay. I actually just spoke to Jeff, so I think it just happened about a week or two ago. Okay. Yeah, I tried to get him to come on the show, and I think maybe he was committed to doing something else, and I didn’t keep after him. And I don’t like to pester people, you know. [5:44]And Fensell was the one that said, you got to get Jeff Sillett. You got to get Jeff Sillett. When I looked into that money angle of it, that was pretty interesting about how they were laundering their money through the parking lots and just millions. And when he gave up, like $10 million or something? I mean, it’s unbelievable. Yes. And that’s that’s one of the reasons why I wrote the book is because I don’t think the public or the press really put this together where that squad, C-10, is a very unique squad where we were dismantling the two families at the same time. Half the family was working the Bonanno family and half the family was working the Cavalcanti family. So it’s a very unique squad during that six or seven year time period where we were dismantling two families at the same time. [6:26]Inside the DeCavalcanti Family [6:26]Interesting and and that gets us into the dekavocante family i could always struggle with that name for some reason but that’s all right guys know i butcher these names all the time. [6:37]Forgive me guys anyhow so you ended up working on the dekavocante family down in new jersey now that you know that’s unusual how did that come about we got we got a new jersey branch of the fbi down there too, Yes, we do. So what happened was I went to training in February of 1998. The case actually starts in January of 1998, where an individual named Ralph Guarino was the mastermind behind this, but he had the idea of robbing the World Trade Center. So he had three people that actually tried to execute that plan. They did rob the World Trade Center, but when they came out, they took their mask off and they were identified by the cameras that were actually there. So those individuals were actually arrested pretty quickly. I think two were arrested that day. The third person, I think, fled to New Mexico and was found pretty quickly. Ralph was smart enough to know that he was going to be apprehended pretty quickly. So he reached out to an agent named George Hanna, a legendary agent within the office, and George was able to convince him to become a proactive witness, meaning he would make consensual recordings. That was in January of 1998. I think it was January 14th. [7:51]Approximately nine days later, there was a murder of an individual named Joseph Canigliaro. Who was a ruthless DeKalocanti associate assigned to a wheelchair. How he got in a wheelchair was back in the 70s, a DeKalocanti soldier and him went to go collect money from a loan shark victim. And the story goes that Jim Gallo, James Gallo, actually shot Joseph Canigliaro by accident and paralyzed him. No hard feelings. It was just the course of doing their business back then. But he was paralyzed from the 70s to the 90s. He was a ruthless individual. though. And the reason that they killed him is his crew around him had him killed. They actually killed him because he was such a ruthless person and who would extort people and just really was a bad person. There were stories that he would call people over to him in his wheelchair and shoot them. So a ruthless guy. And he was killed in, I think, January 23rd of 1998. [8:50]So that’s how this case starts. Ralph Guarino, as I said, became a proactive witness. When you have a proactive witness. You just don’t know where they’re going to go. What I mean by that is you would direct him through mob associates and many guys, and you’re trying to gather evidence on tape. [9:05]The Process of Flipping [9:06]Where Ralph Guarino led us was the Brooklyn faction of the DeCavalcanti family, namely Anthony Capo, Anthony Rotondo, Vincent Palermo. [9:17]Joseph Scalfani, a whole host of DeCavalcanti people that were located in Brooklyn. And that’s how we start to build this case. Now, granted, I was just in training at that time in February of 1998. I don’t get sent back to New York until May of 1998. And from May of 1998 until December of 1998, they put you through a rotation, meaning I go through the operations center, I go through surveillance, and then I finally get assigned to C-10 in December of 1998. At that point in time, Jeff and Kim are already on the squad, so they’re operating the case against Messino. I come to the squad, and the Decalvo Canty case has now started. So I’m assigned to the Decalvo Canty portion of the squad to work them. And as I said, that’s why we’re working two parallel cases at the time. One is against the Bananos, the other is against the Jersey family. And we operate, Ralph, proactively from January 1998 up until the first set of indictments, which was in December of 1999. So compare and contrast the Banano family structure and how they operated in [10:27]Comparing Families [10:24]a DeCavocante family structure and how they operate. Were they exactly the same or were there some differences? [10:31]They’re into the same types of the rackets that the Waldemar people are into, but I would say related to the Decalvo Canty family, since they’re based in Jersey, they really had a control of the unions out there. There was two unions that they basically controlled, Local 394, which was the labor union, and they also started their own union, which was the asbestos union, which was Local 1030. [10:53]And those were controlled by the Decalvo Canty family, so that was the bread and butter of the Decalvo Canty family. So, as I said, the first set, you know, we operated Ralph proactively for almost close to two years. And then in December of 1999, we executed our first set of arrests because there was whispers that Ralph, why wasn’t he arrested yet? Where he was the mastermind behind the World Trade Center being robbed, but he hasn’t been picked up yet. So there was whispers that he might be cooperating with the government. And for his safety, that’s why we took him off off the street and we executed our first round of arrest in December of 1999. [11:33]I’m a relatively new agent. I’d only been on the squad now for a year and we arrested 39 people that day. I get assigned to arrest Anthony Capo, who’s a soldier within the Decavacanti family based out of Staten Island. And I was really surprised by that because, as I said, I was just an agent for about a year. Usually when you’re a new agent, you’re assigned to the back, you know, like we are security. I was even surprised that I was going to be on a team. And I was fortunate enough to be the team leader, which is very surprising to me. And the case was out of the Southern District of New York. And in New York, just for the public, there is two districts. There’s a Southern District of New York and the Eastern District of New York. And the Eastern District of New York also had charges on Anthony Capo as well. So for my arrest team, I had members from the Eastern District of New York as well. There was a separate squad that was looking into Anthony Capo there. [12:30]The First Cooperation [12:27]So I got the ticket to arrest Anthony Capo in December of 1999. And that’s how this case starts. [12:33]Interesting. Now, nobody’s ever flipped out of the DeCavocante family before, I believe. It’s been a pretty tight family, really rigidly controlled by this Richie the Boot. I mean, he’s a fearsome, fearsome guy. I mean, you did not want to get crossways with him. And a smaller, tighter family, it seems to me like, than the New York families. That was right. Well, like up and up until that point, up until that point and unbeknownst to me that no made member in the DeKalbacanti family had ever cooperated with the government before. [13:08]So I had watched George Hanna, how he operated Ralph Guarino for those two years, and he always treated him with respect. And prior to going to arrest Anthony Capo, Anthony Capo had had a reputation of being an extremely violent person, hated by law enforcement and even hated by a lot of people within the mob. But I was going I wasn’t going to let that, you know, use that against him. I was going to treat him with respect regardless. Right. I didn’t know I didn’t know him. I never dealt with him before. And I would basically before I went to go arrest him, I was going to study everything about him, learn everything about him. And I was going to use the approach of treating him with respect and using some mind chess when I was going to arrest him. What I mean by that is I was going to learn everything charges about him, everything about his family. I wanted him to know that I knew him like the back of my hand from head to toe, the start of the book to the end of the book. [14:02]And when I went to arrest him, I remember when we went to his house, he wasn’t there. So all the planning that you do related to going into an arrest, the checks that you do, he’s at the house, you knock on his door, and guess what? He’s not there. So his wife basically tells us that he’s at his mom’s house. So then that throws all the planning out the window, and now we go to his mom’s house. And when I met him, you know, I saw that he had a relationship with his parents, which, you know, it gives me a different perspective from what I heard from him. Interesting. And that says something about him, that’s for sure. So everything that I heard of this violent person and hated person, the way he treated law enforcement, he wasn’t that way with me. [14:49]So when I get him in the car and I start to read him his rights and start to ask him questions, every question that I would ask him, I already had the answer to, like, your date of birth, social security number. And then he would invoke his right to counsel, and then you’re not allowed to ask him any more questions. So what I would do is I would let the mind game start then. And I would ask him, you know, tell him about the charges that he had at that point in time. He was only charged with a conspiracy to murder Charlie Maggiore, who was an acting panel boss of the Decalvo Canty family. At that time, that point in time, they had three panel bosses. It was Charlie Maggiore, Jimmy Palermo and Vincent Palermo. Vincent Palermo was known as the stronger personality and really known as the acting boss. And they wanted to kill Charlie Maggiore. So he was charged with that. conspiracy to murder. And he was also charged with, I believe, stock fraud or it was mail fraud that would lead to stock fraud. So when I would question him, I would tell him, since he already invoked his right to counsel, don’t say anything, just listen to me. For an example, I would say your plan was to murder Charles Majuri. Your plan was to ring his doorbell and shoot him right there with James Gallo, Joe Macella. But you guys didn’t do that because there was a cop on the block. So instead of just doing a ring and run, you guys were going to ring and shoot him, right? [16:17]And now you’ve got to think, I told him, don’t say anything. Just listen to what I just said, right? Because I can’t have him answer any questions. And this wasn’t a question. This was a statement. Yeah. So that gives him food for thought, because you got to think, how would I know that? He doesn’t know at that point in time, this is an indictment. How do I know that? He doesn’t know who the cooperator is. He doesn’t know who made a recording. So I’m just throwing this at him. And this is the first time he’s hearing this. So it’s got to make him think, like, what else does this agent know? And I did this with the other charges as well. And then I would just throw these little tidbits at him. And then I would speak to the driver. How are you doing this? just give him food for thought. And then we just developed a bond that day, just talking sports back and forth. He actually was a cowboy fan. I’m a Steeler fan. So we have that little intensity going back and forth about that. And then we just developed a bond that day. I think that was the first time that he had an interaction with law enforcement, where it was more of a respect thing, as opposed to someone yelling at him or being contentious with him. I don’t think he’s ever or experienced that before. [17:27]Also because of his delivery as well, right? You know, it works both ways where you can, he can have his delivery really angry and that could, you know, provoke law enforcement to be angry towards him too. [17:43]The Proffer Process [17:40]So I think that helped it that way that day. And then just throughout the whole day. And I think one of the things that I do talk about within the book is just explaining processes to people, which is generally, I haven’t seen that done in a book before about how pretrial works. So what is pretrial? How cooperation works? How trial works? So I think there’s a lot of tidbits within the book that kind of explain things like that. Even some crimes, too. Like everyone hears what loan sharking is. I go into detail as to what loan sharking is and how it really works, because it’s a very profitable way to make money. So we have our day together. And, you know, then I had to meet his stepfather. I think he had heard that I treated his stepfather with respect. And then approximately a week later, I get a call from his lawyer and I basically almost fell out of my chair when his lawyer said he wanted to cooperate. [18:37]I bet. And then, yeah. And, you know, keep in mind, I’ve only been on the job for a year and I immediately call the assistant who is a seasoned assistant. Maria Barton, what was her name? And she’s really concerned, like, what did I say? Right. So I told her in these situations, less is more. I just told her I was going to call you. That’s all I said. I didn’t say anything else. Didn’t promise anything at all. I said I was going to call you. So, you know, that started with the process and then you go through a proffer. So I explained what the proffer is and how that process works. Interesting. Yeah. A proffer, guys is is like a kind of agreement you know and you you have to be totally open and admit to every crime you ever did and and we’ll cover you but to a certain point the basis you’ll lie down the basics. [19:31]Right. So what, you know, what we kind of like call it is queen for a day, right? Where you come in, we can’t use your words against you unless you lie to us, right? If you were, if you were to lie to us and then go, go to trial and, you know, we could, if you were to take the stand, we could, we could use it against you. But as long as you come in and you tell us the truth and you tell us everything, all the crimes that you’ve done. And the beauty of the mob is when they do a crime, they never do a crime alone, right? They involve a lot of people within a crime. So that’s the beauty of that. So when we have our first proffer, you know, in time, you only have a short amount of time to actually speak about this because you can only be away from jail for a certain amount of time right before the bad guys start to realize that something might be up. Right. So he comes in. And even even before that, on his on his way back, when we’re taking him back to 26 Federal Plaza, one of the things that he tells us is and it makes sense when we went to his house, he wasn’t there. He was at his mom’s house in the car ride back. He throws a little shot at me and he goes, we knew you were coming. [20:33]Meaning that there was a leak. They got a leak. Yeah. Right. So then when we have the first proffer, he explains the leak to us. And it appears allegedly there was a court reporter within the Southern District that was feeding them information. So that’s not good. And then in the proffer, he tells us about two murders. So, and there might be the bodies, a body might be buried up in Phil Lamella, who was a DeCalvo County soldier, up in Marlboro, New York. So that’s the first thing that he tells us. So these are jewels to us, right? He tells us about a leak. He tells us about two murders. Bodies might be buried. So we have to huddle and we have to decide, is he telling us the truth or not? We all decide that he’s telling us the truth. The proper takes place with George Hanna, as I mentioned him before. Kenny McCabe, a legendary Southern District investigator, and me. And in these situations, again, I’m a new agent. Less is more. I don’t want to say something stupid. So I kind of keep my mouth shut, right? And just listen. So that went really well. And that kind of started this whole process. So now, as we said before, you have… No one cooperated in 100 plus years of this family. And now we have the first [21:49]A Spiral of Cooperation [21:48]made member to cooperate. And basically, Anthony starts a spiral effect of cooperation. [21:56]After he where he reported to in the family at that particular time, since he was such a violent person and hard to control within the family himself. Well, he reported to Vincent Palermo, who was the acting panel boss out of that panel that I talked about, but viewed as the acting boss because of his strong personality. So you have Anthony cooperating. He reports to the acting boss. So from our perspective, our perspective, that’s golden, right? Because now Vinny is going to have to make a decision. Is he going to cooperate or not? And then about three months later, guess what? Vinny decides to cooperate. So now we have a soldier and we have the acting boss who’s going to cooperate. So we go from no one in a hundred years to basically two people in three months. [22:45]Then we have an associate, Victor DiChiro, decides to cooperate. So we go and we arrest him. So now we have three people in four months. So we take all their information, and they have to plead guilty, and they get a cooperation agreement. I explain all that. And when you have a cooperation agreement, as I mentioned before, Anthony was initially arrested for conspiracy to murder, and I believe it was stock fraud. When he pleads guilty, he has to plead guilty to all his crimes that he committed throughout his entire life. Off the top of my head, I remember he pled guilty to two murders. [23:23]11 murder conspiracies, boatload of extortions, and basically every other crime you could think of. And then the same thing with Vinny and Victor. We take all their information, and then we have our next series of indictments. So the first series was 39 indictments. And then the second series of indictments is in October of 2000, October 19th, which we just we just passed the 25th anniversary of that. And that was known as the hierarchy arrest, where we arrested the official boss, John Riggi. We arrested the two other panel bosses, Charlie Maggiore and Jimmy Palermo. We arrested the consigliere, Steve Vitabli, a bunch of captains and soldiers. So that’s a significant arrest, right? So now, as you know, when you have an arrest, there’s trials, there’s plea negotiations. So now we arrested 39 people plus another 13. We’re already up to like 50 something like something people out of that arrest. We get a little shockwave in the sense is that there’s an associate named Frank Scarabino. Frank Scarabino comes forward one day and tells us that there’s a contract on Anthony Capo’s family and Anthony Capo. [24:43]And also, there’s a contract on law enforcement. They want to go back to the old Sicilian ways and basically send a message. So, you know, that’s basically a little bit of a jolt where now we have to try to move Capo’s family. [25:03]Protecting Cooperators [24:59]And Capo’s in prison. He’s defenseless. And I explain all that. People have this sense of you go into the witness security program, you get a whole new life and you’re off and having a great time. They don’t realize that there are prisons within the United States that you have to go to prison. So I can’t say where the prisons are, but I kind of explain that process of how the WITSEC program works, which is run by the marshals. So that’s in that’s in the book as well. Yeah, they have a whole prisons that are just for people in WITSEC. I heard about a guy that said he was in one out west somewhere. Yeah. So and, you know, for those prisons, it’s not like you have to prove yourself. They’re all doing the same time. So they’re basically just trying to do their time and try to get out and get into the next phase of the WoodSec program. So that was kind of a jolt, right? So now we have Frank Scarabino cooperate. So now we have another person. So it’s the list is just getting more and more now. You got to stop taking cooperators and start putting people in jail for the rest of their life, man. [26:03]So it got to after that, we had like two more people cooperate. So we went from having nobody to having seven people cooperate in this period. And it’s interesting. And I know we’re going to go back and forth, but we went from 100 years of having no one to having seven people during this three year period. And since that time period, no other members have cooperated since. So we’ve started the clock again. I think we’re at 25 years plus again since no one cooperated during that period. And I mentioned the murder that we started this case, Joseph Canigliaro. So he was the guy that was in the wheelchair. So as I said, they wanted to kill him because he just tortured his crew. We were able, one of the guys who was initially arrested as part of the December 1999 arrest, he sees everybody’s, he is deciding to cooperate with the government. So he decides to cooperate. His name is Tommy DeTora. So Tommy DeTora decides to cooperate. He’s out on bail. So since he’s out on bail, we decide, let’s make him make a consensual recording. And he makes one of the best consensual recordings the Bureau has ever made. He gets everyone involved in that murder together. [27:28]And they talk about the murder from A to Z. It’s a priceless consensual recording that we used at trial. And it just, you know, one of the things that does stick in my mind is the shooter was Marty Lewis, who got a life sentence. [27:44]The Murder of Joseph Canigliaro [27:45]Marty Lewis is describing when he shot him. And he’s like, I shot him like five or six times in his car. Right. And then Marty Lewis gets out of the car. Joseph Canigliaro drives away, gets to the top of the block in Brooklyn, puts a signal on, put a signal on. And drove the traffic laws, drives to Joseph Wrightson’s house. A guy who was part of the murder conspiracy honks his horn for Joseph Wrightson to come downstairs. So can you imagine Joseph Wrightson looking down the window seeing the guy that’s supposed to be dead right now and telling him to get in the car to go to the hospital with him? [28:32]Unfortunately, when they go to the hospital one of the things that does happen is joseph brightson has uh unfortunately an nyp detective cop who’s a cousin and involves him in this as well and the cop takes shells from the car and he becomes he gets locked up by us as well they all go to trial they get convicted and. [28:55]You know, we also arrested a Genevieve’s captain related to the leak. So in total, I think the numbers were 71 defendants were convicted, 11 murders were solved, seven trials transpired. You know, as everyone knows, you have the arrest, but then you have the trials, right? And I know that from December 2002 up until November of 2003 was the year that I was on trial. There was three trials that I had, and then there was another trial. There was two trials that one was a mistrial. Then we had another trial. So during that one year, we had a year of trials, and the biggest trial I had went on for two months. [29:42]Life on Trial [29:38]So I basically had a year of no life where it was just trials. And as you know yourself, when you have trial, it’s not just you just show up at trial. You have trial prep beforehand. And then when you’re actually on trial every day, it’s 20, it’s 24, seven, you have a trial, you have trial, then at night you have to prep a witness. So there’s just constant stuff throughout the day. Yeah, really? It’s a, it’s a long, boring process for you guys. [30:05]You know, these are like what we would say the real Sopranos, you know, the Sopranos, Tom Soprano, and that’s kind of based on this New Jersey family. I tell you, that Soprano, so much of it was ripped from real life. I don’t know. They interviewed you for details. They interviewed some agents and looked some court cases in order to write those scripts. I know that. And in particular, I think of the gay member that was killed. [30:28]The Real Sopranos [30:27]You know, you guys had that down there. So there’s a lot of references in your book or things in the book that the guys will say, oh, yeah, they did that in the Sopranos. Can you tell us about some of them? [30:37]Well, the thing that was great, especially for trial, is in March of 1999, the show starts in January of 1999. And we have a consensual recording in March where we have DeCavocanti members talking about the show and them saying, saying, this is you, this is you, and this is you, which was priceless for trial. Right. It’s like a jury’s going to hear that. And even during the trial, the judge had to give the jury instructions about the show to make sure that it wouldn’t sway their decision. Then if you watch the show, the first season, the official boss in the show dies of stomach cancer. In real life, that’s happened in real life. In June of 1997, Jake Amari was the acting boss of the Decaval Canty family. He dies of stomach cancer. So that’s a… [31:40]It’s a part of the show right there. Then I know everyone sees the strip club, right? Well, the acting boss, as I told you at the time, Vincent Palermo, he had a strip club in Queens, Wiggles. [31:53]So there’s a similarity there. Then they have the meat market that they go to, right, back and forth in the show. That’s a real meat market. I don’t want to say the name of the real meat market here, but there is a real type of meat market there. We discussed the union angle, the two unions that they have. So there’s so many scams related to the unions. There’s the no show job, right, where you don’t have to show up to work. There’s the no work job where you come, but you don’t have to do any work at all. [32:26]Back then, what it was called was they had union halls, right, where you actually had to show up early in the morning. There’d be a line of people, and you would show up. It was called the shape up. and you would wait online and hopefully that you would get work that day. Well, the DeCable Cante members, they wouldn’t show up early and wait online. They would show up whenever they want and they would cut the line and they would get work. So these were their types of unions that they had. Then, as you mentioned, there was the gay angle too. So on the DeCable Cante real side, there was a guy named John D’Amato. And John D’Amato basically made himself the acting boss when John Riggie went to jail in the early 1990s. John D’Amato was part, was very close to John Gotti. There was a murder. It’s probably the most indictable murder in mob history called the murder of Fred Weiss. John Gotti wanted Fred Weiss killed because John Gotti thought that Fred Weiss was cooperating with the government. all because Fred Weiss switched lawyers. [33:35]He was paranoid that Fred Weiss was cooperating. So it became a race to kill Fred Weiss. So you had two mob families trying to kill him, the Decalvo Canty family and the Gambino family. So in total, I think either 15 people at least have either pled guilty or have been convicted of that murder. That murder happened on 9-11-1989, a horrible day, right? So, where I’m going is that happened in 89. In 1990, 1991, John D’Amato becomes the acting boss of the family. So, now he’s the acting boss of the DeKalb Alcanti family. John D’Amato had a girlfriend. His girlfriend starts to tell Anthony Capo that John D’Amato is going to sex clubs with her and they’re having sex with men. So this is this is brought to Anthony Capo’s attention. And he has to tell his superiors that we have a gay acting boss representing our family. And in his eyes, this cannot happen. Right. So he brings it to Vincent Palermo, brings it to Rudy Ferron, and the superiors that this is what’s happening. And they decide that he has to be killed. Now, also what he was doing was, and you speak to Anthony Rotondo, who also cooperated with the government. [34:58]John DeMotta was also stealing money from the family. He was borrowing money from the other families, telling him that it was for the DeCalbacanti family, but it was really to cover his game of the gambling losses that he was incurring. So those are two things that he was doing. Right. He was he was if you ask Anthony Rotondo, he says he was killed because of the gambling that he was incurring the losses. And if he asks Anthony Capo, he was killed because it was looking bad for our family, for their family, that he was a gay acting boss. And at that time, it wasn’t acceptable. Times have changed. But back then, it wasn’t an acceptable thing. And that’s similar to the show. There’s a gay angle within the show as well. [35:41]The Gay Angle in the Mob [35:42]Interesting. It’s the real Sopranos. I remember I watched that show, even going back and watch some of them every once in a while. And I just think, wow, that’s real. So, so even though the director says no one was speaking to them, it’s kind of ironic that there are a lot of like similarities between the show and real life. Yeah. And especially down there in New Jersey and, and, and their connection to the Bonanno family or to a New York, the New York families. And then also, and then also within the show is, is, is the stock stood. There’s also stocks. Oh yeah, the stock fraud. Yeah. They did a boiler room or something. And they were pumping and dumping stocks and Tony was making money out of that. So, yeah, that’s I’d forget. And then from and in real life, Bill Abrama was like the wizard of Wall Street. [36:37]So interesting. Well, you’ve had quite, quite a career. What do you think about New York organized crime now that today, you know, we just had quack, quack, Ruggiero, Ruggiero’s son and some other guys that were connected to families indicted for gambling. He’s got my gambling fraud. I haven’t really studied it yet. It is like they had some rig gambling games, which is common. Like in Kansas city, when I was working this, they would have, they would bring in guys who would love to gamble and had money businessmen. And then they’d, they’d play them for sure. They would cheat them and take a bunch of money from them. This was much more sophisticated, but that’s a, that’s a story that’s been going on a long time. You think that Bob is on a comeback from that? Ha, ha, ha, ha. [37:24]The mob has been around for 125 years. They’re not going to go away. Okay. They get smarter and they adapt. And it’s like, I haven’t read the indictment from head to toe, but they’ve used some, you know, sophisticated investigative techniques just to kind of con people. So they’re getting better, right? So some of the techniques that they use when you hear, it’s like some of the things that I saw where the poker tables that they use, the tables that they use were able to see the card. So they use some pretty, you know, slick techniques, you know, and then like some of the glasses or the contact lenses. So, you know, they’re not going to go away. They’re just going to keep on trying to rebuild. That’s why you have to continue to put resources towards them. Yeah. I think what people don’t understand for these mob guys, it’s if they don’t get out and go into legitimate business selling real estate or something like that. It’s it’s a constant scam a constant hustle every day to figure out another way to make money because they don’t have a paycheck coming in and so they got to figure out a way to make money and they got to make it fast and they got to make it big and in a short period of time it’s just constant every day every time they walk by knew a drug addict one time as a professional burglar and he said every time he’s in recovery he said every time i’ll buy a pharmacy he said in my mind I’m figuring out how to take that pharmacy off. So that’s the way these mob guys are. [38:52]And sports betting has been a staple of theirs forever. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And the apps are getting into them a little bit, but I see what’s going on now. Also, we had these players, Trailblazers coach and a couple, three players, are now helping people rig the bets. And you go to the apps, and you bet a bunch of money on some guy who’s going to have a bad day. And then he just doesn’t show up to work. You end up being the supervisor of the Columbo squad, I see. Same as after that DeCavoconte case, and you spent all that time, you ended up getting promoted to a supervisor and you must’ve been good because they kept you right there in New York and gave you another mob squad. I know one agent here in Kansas City that was promoted and he kept the one squad here, as they called it. [39:43]Leading the Columbo Squad [39:40]And that was really unusual. Usually it’d be somebody in from out of town. So that says something about you. So tell us about your experiences doing that. [39:48]Well, after we did this case, which was about six years, I was requested to go down to run the Columbo squad. And at that time, I think the Columbo squad had eight supervisors in eight years. I really thought I was too young to be a supervisor because I only had six years on. So I was basically voluntold, I would say, to go down there. And guys, that is young. I want to tell you something. I’ve seen a lot of different Bob squad supervisors come through here in Kansas City. And and they were all you know like 20 year agents 15 18 year agents that came from somewhere else so yeah so you know again I thought I was just way too young to be a supervisor as I said I was just on the job for about six years and I was voluntold to go down there yeah and I said if I’m going to go down there there’s a couple of things just based upon what I saw a I’m not a yes man and two the squad needs some sort of stability so I went down there and I was able to stay there I was there from actually December of 2004 all the way up until June of 2013. [40:51]So we at that time when I first got there we really didn’t have a lot of cases going trying to go on so I was able to change the tactics right because I think juries had changed at that point in time where instead of having a historical witness just go on to stand and tell things, now we had shows out there, right? You had NCIS where the whole DNA-type stuff came in, so I had to change our approach, and proactive witnesses making consensual recordings were the way to go. And I think during a seven-year time period, our squad. [41:24]Did an amazing job. Now it went from C10. I went, the squad went down to, it became C38. And we made probably 1,800 recordings in a seven and a half year time period. So, which is an amazing amount of recordings. So, a lot of transcriptions too. A lot of transcriptions. And I, you know, a three-hour tape could take you a day to listen to because you’re just trying to find that little piece of information. Yeah. Because a lot of it is just talk, right? Yeah. So I think our first big case was in June of 2008. And we took down the acting boss, a bunch of captains. And that’s when things really started to take off. We had a violent soldier cooperate named Joseph Compatiello. And, you know, we talk about proffers. His first proffer, he comes in and he basically tells us that there are three bodies buried right next to each other. So the layman would think, OK, they’re right next to each other. They weren’t right next to each other they were about 1.1 miles apart from each other. [42:28]And you could be in your your room there and we’re trying to find a body it’s really hard to find so we were actually able to find two of the bodies one of the bodies was a guy named while Bill Cattullo he was the under boss of the Colombo family we found him in Formingdale Long Island he was behind a berm we were out there for about eight days and each day you know I’m getting pressure from my superiors. We’re going to find something because there’s a lot of press out there. There was another victim named Cormone Gargano who was buried. He was killed in 1994 and buried out there. Unfortunately, there was a new building built. [43:06]And we could not find him there, but he was initially killed at a body shop in Brooklyn, and they buried him in Brooklyn, and then they decided to dig him up and bring him out to Long Island. So we went back to the body shop. What the Colombo family used to do, though, is they used to kill you, bury you, and put lime on top of the body. What lime does is it kills the smell, but preserves the body. Oh, I didn’t realize that. I thought it was supposed to deteriorate the body too. I think most people bought that. So good information. So, so when we found wall of bill, basically from his, from his hips up were intact. Oh, And when related to Cormier Gargano, because they had killed him in the body shop and then dug him up and brought him out to Long Island. We went back to the shop and figuring, let’s see if we can actually see if there’s any parts of him there. And there actually were. And we’re able to get DNA and tie it back and confirm it was him. [44:15]Major Arrests and Cases [44:12]So that’s how that dismantling of the Colombo family started. And then just to fast forward a little bit in January 2011, we have I spearhead the largest FBI mob arrest where we arrested 127 people that day across the states and also went to Italy, too, to take down people. [44:32]And after that, the Bureau decides to reduce the resources dedicated to organized crime. And I then get the Bonanno family back. So C-10 merges back into my squad. And then I have the Bananos, the Columbos, and the Decafacanthes as well. So now I have all three families back. And I basically run that for another two years. And I guess my last official act as a supervisor is related to Goodfellas, where Jimmy Burke had buried a body in his basement. We saw a 43-year-old cold case murder where he killed an individual named Paul Katz, buried him in his basement. And when he went away for the point shaving, the Boston College point shaving case, well, he killed him in 1969, buried him in his basement. Then he goes to jail in the 80s. He gets fearful that the cops that he had on his payroll back in the 60s were going to talk. So he decides to have our witness at the time, Gaspar Valenti, who came forward back in the 80s, moved the body with Vincent S. Our son so they move the body but again they’re not professional so pieces are going to be back there so in 2013 we go back and we dig and we actually find pieces of paul cats and we tie that to dna to his son to his son and we confirm that it was him. [45:57]So that was my last official act as a supervisor. Talk about art, art, imitating life again, you know, in the Goodfellas, they dug up a body. In the Sopranos, they dug up a body. I think I saw another show where they dug up a body. One of them, they were like, man, this smells. [46:13]I mean, can you imagine that going back and having to dig up a body? And then, you know, and, you know, they’re just wearing t-shirts and jeans and maybe leather gloves. And they’d have to deal with all that stuff and put it in some kind of a bag can take it somewhere else oh my god you know i have a question while bill cutello that this guy was part of the the hit team that took him out do you remember anything about right i’m trying to remember i’ve read this story once he was kind of like more of a peacemaker and and if i remember right you remember what the deal was with him well back like what happens is in the early 1990s there’s a colombo war right you have the persicos versus the arena faction and one thing about the Colombos and the Persicos, they never forget. So in the early 1990s, while Bill Cotullo was on the arena side, and as I said, there was a war where approximately 13 people were killed. In the late 1990s, Ali Persico was going to be going to jail, and while Bill Cotullo thought that Ali was going to go to jail and that he would take over the family, Ali didn’t want that to happen. So basically while Vilcunzulo thought he was getting the keys to the kingdom and they were going to kill him. [47:28]And what they did is they lured him to Dino Saraceno’s house in Brooklyn and Dino Calabro lured him into the basement and shot him in the back of the head. And we had all these guys then decide to cooperate. As I said, Joe Caves was the first person to cooperate. Dino Calabro cooperated. [47:48]Sebi Saraceno cooperated. So we had a whole host of people cooperate and we were able to dismantle the Colombo family. And I’ve been extremely blessed to be part of teams that have dismantled three families, Bananos, the Columbos, and the D. Calacanti family. So, you know, as I said, and it’s never just one person. It’s always teammates, partners, and also other supervisors that I’ve had. Yeah, interesting. Yeah, it does take a lot of people to take those down. When you’re writing books, you try to make sure everybody gets a little bit of credit. Yeah. And, you know, I think, you know, the thing that was that was, you know, crazy when related to the recovery of Wild Bill is we had our evidence response team out there. And, you know, the witness takes us out there to show us where he thinks the bodies are buried. And related to Wild Bill, it was in the back of a field. And he kept on saying it was behind a berm. So we took him back there and he showed us where he thought it was. So we had our evidence response team dig. And they basically dug us an Olympic-sized pool. [48:57]We could not find him. So there was two other sites that we were trying to look at because Richie Greaves was supposed to be next to the train tracks. And as I mentioned, Cormac Gargano was next to a building that had been replaced. So my squad, actually our squad, C-38, decides, Seamus, do you mind if we get some shovels? So I was like, sure. So there was, because we were just looking at each other at the time. So my team, Vincent D’Agostino, they’re pretty close by. He got some shovels and came back. And there was like six of us. And we just started digging ourselves. So we dug in one area, nothing. Then another agent basically said, let’s dig over here. [49:38]And sure enough, like talk about, you know, I always say hard work leads to good luck. We started digging and then we found the white stuff. We found the line and jackpot. It was while Bill, he was hogtied face down with his feet up. And as soon as I saw the white stuff and then I saw, you know, like his foot, then we stopped and I said, let me go get the professionals. I ran over, I drove over, and I got the team leader from ERT. She got in the car. And, you know, of course, she’s very excited. I was like, you know, we F.M. got him, you know. And so I drove her back over there. And that’s when you kind of contain the crime scene. And we were able to find him. But, you know, it was our squad that found him. And then, as I said before, then, you know, our squad decides to go back to the body shop. And we found remnants of Carmine Gargano there. So the squad just did an amazing job but really we basically found two bodies ourselves you know and i think in my career i’ve been extremely blessed to find five you know which is just crazy well that’s not something those accountants and lawyers and stuff were trained for you need to get those former cops out there on those shovels and digging for bodies. [50:57]Final Thoughts and Stories [50:57]Well interesting this this has really been fun seamus any any other stories you can think of You want to you want to just want to tell just busting to make sure people know that’s in this book. I tell you what, guys, this is an interesting book. It’s it’s, you know, as I said, those kinds of stories and the procedures and how FBI works. There’s there’s a lot of stories in there. I don’t want to give to give the book away. You know, there’s a lot of stories even. Yeah. You know, there’s an even during that year of trials. There’s plenty of stories there. There was a blackout that that year, too. So there’s a lot of stories related to that. You know, even even the trials, there’s a lot of things that came up at trial. So I don’t want to give to give those stories away. But I think it’s a good read. As I said, I think it’s one of the few books that actually explains things because, you know, I think the public hears these words, but they don’t know what these words mean. And I just think it’s important that they do know what it means, because there’s a lot of things that go on behind the scenes, especially with the jury. Right. You know, the jury only sees what they see. There’s a lot of things that go on when the jury leaves the room between the government, the judge and also the defense attorney. So I try to bring to shed some light related to that as well. [52:13]Interesting. Well, Seamus McElherney. And the book is Flipping Capo. That’s Anthony Capo. The first guy to be flipped in the Cavalcante family ever, which led to a cascade of other mob guys flipping, didn’t it? [52:32]Sure did. Just like in a Bonanno family, you know, they start flipping there. And it just, I didn’t know where it was ever going to end. Finally, it ended. [52:41]It sure did. Well, I have to say, it’s been great to meet you. I wish you continued success. And this has been a lot of fun. All right. Yeah, it’s been great to have you on Seamus. Thanks a lot. Don’t forget, I like to ride motorcycles. So when you’re out on the streets there and you’re a big F-150, watch out for those little motorcycles when you’re out. If you have a problem with PTSD and you’ve been in the service, be sure and go to the VA website. They’ll help with your drugs and alcohol problem if you’ve got that problem or gambling. If not, you can go to Anthony Ruggiano. He’s a counselor down in Florida. He’s got a hotline on his website. If you’ve got a problem with gambling, most states will have, if you have gambling, most states will have a hotline number to call. Just have to search around for it. You know, I’ve always got stuff to sell. I got my books. I got my movies. They’re all on Amazon. I got links down below in the show notes and just go to my Amazon sales page and you can figure out what to do. I really appreciate y’all tuning in and we’ll keep coming back and doing this. Thanks guys.

Google Gemini brilla en tiendas de apps gracias a Nano Banana  La locura por Nano Banana llevó a Google Gemini a superar a ChatGPT en el App Store de Apple. El CEO de Nvidia, Jensen Huang, se declaró fan absoluto de la función de edición de imágenes, que ya generó más de 500 millones de creaciones en pocos días. Esta ola viral entusiasma a millones de usuarios en el mundo y también impacta en los negocios: Google alcanzó los 3 billones de dólares en valor de mercado. Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Nano Banana es la nueva fiebre global en inteligencia artificial. Se trata de una herramienta dentro de Google Gemini que permite editar fotos con un nivel de detalle asombroso: puedes cambiar escenarios, crear figuras en 3D como si fueran muñecos de colección, o transformar retratos en estilo retro o anime. El lanzamiento en agosto hizo que las descargas de Gemini se dispararan, con 23 millones de nuevos usuarios en apenas días y más de 500 millones de imágenes creadas. El CEO de Nvidia, Jensen Huang, bromeó en Londres diciendo que “nadie puede no amar Nano Banana”. La pregunta es: ¿qué tiene de especial este plátano digital para que un multimillonario en chaqueta de cuero y medio planeta estén hablando de él?  ¿Y si todo esto es solo moda pasajera?  Google llevaba tiempo intentando alcanzar a OpenAI en el mundo del consumo masivo de inteligencia artificial. ChatGPT fue el pionero en 2022 y mantenía el liderazgo en descargas y tráfico web. Pero todo cambió con la llegada de Gemini 2.5 y la función Nano Banana. El nombre parece un chiste, pero el efecto fue inmediato: la app de Google escaló al puesto número uno en el App Store, por encima de ChatGPT. Según Josh Woodward, vicepresidente de Gemini, tuvieron que poner límites de uso porque la gente generaba imágenes sin parar. En India, la herramienta explotó en popularidad: artistas, influencers y marcas llenaron redes con muñecos, retratos vintage y hasta versiones de mascotas convertidas en héroes de manga.  El fenómeno abre varias preguntas. Por un lado, demuestra que las funciones virales son más efectivas que las mejoras técnicas silenciosas. La gente quiere divertirse, experimentar, reírse. Y eso explica por qué Nano Banana triunfa: es un generador de memes con un toque de profesionalismo. Pero también hay dudas: ¿es sostenible esta fiebre? ChatGPT sigue teniendo 700 millones de usuarios activos a la semana, diez veces más que Gemini. Además, existen riesgos asociados al uso masivo de imágenes generadas por IA: desde la desinformación hasta la banalización del arte. Si hoy todos juegan con fotos convertidas en figuras de acción o estatuas gigantes, ¿cómo se va a garantizar la autenticidad de lo que vemos? Google incluye marcas de agua visibles e invisibles en cada imagen, pero la velocidad de propagación en redes sociales hace difícil controlar lo que circula.  Mientras tanto, los números no mienten: Alphabet, la matriz de Google, se convirtió en la cuarta empresa en llegar a 3 billones de dólares de valoración bursátil, junto a Nvidia, Microsoft y Apple. Los inversionistas ven a Gemini como un producto que puede traer suscripciones y nuevas formas de ingreso. Y lo más curioso es que todo empezó con un plátano digital. Jensen Huang lo resumió con humor: usa Gemini para lo técnico, Grok para lo artístico, Perplexity para investigación rápida y ChatGPT para lo cotidiano. Pero Nano Banana, dice, es “para todos”. Y quizás allí está la clave: la IA deja de ser algo distante y se convierte en juego, en creatividad compartida. Tal vez así, con humor y diseño, la inteligencia artificial llegue a ser parte natural de nuestras vidas.  En India la creatividad no tiene freno: usuarios están restaurando fotos familiares, probando peinados nuevos, creando mapas de mundos de fantasía o convirtiendo gatos en personajes de videojuegos de 16 bits. En redes sociales circulan colecciones enteras de cómics generados sin una sola palabra, solo con imágenes hechas en Gemini. Este tipo de usos marcan un cambio: ya no se trata de textos o búsquedas, sino de narrativas visuales. Al mismo tiempo, otras empresas aprendieron la lección: OpenAI con su función “Ghiblify” atrajo a un millón de usuarios en una hora, y Grok, la IA de Elon Musk, multiplicó descargas en Asia con sus “waifus” anime. En conclusión, el éxito de Nano Banana muestra que la competencia no se define por quién tiene la IA más avanzada, sino por quién logra capturar la imaginación colectiva. Y hoy, ese lugar lo ocupa un plátano digital.  Nano Banana puso a Google Gemini en la cima de las aplicaciones y en boca de todo el mundo. Es divertido, viral y rentable. La inteligencia artificial se gana a la gente cuando ofrece creatividad accesible. ¿Y tú, ya probaste convertir tu foto en muñeco de colección? Sígueme en Flash Diario.  Nano Banana de Google Gemini volvió viral la edición de fotos, superó a ChatGPT y hasta enamoró al jefe de Nvidia.

Esta conversación versa sobre el artículo publicado en el número 94 de Historia Agraria (diciembre 2024), mismo que reconstruye el proceso de acumulación de tierras llevado a cabo por la United Fruit Company en la zona bananera del Magdalena (Colombia) y analiza el surgimiento y evolución del mercado de tierras entre 1880 y 1930, periodo de formación y expansión de la frontera agraria del banano en esta región. Basado en una exhaustiva minería de datos de fuentes notariales, los resultados muestran que la adquisición de tierras se dio en momentos puntuales, a partir de las relaciones establecidas con miembros de la élite regional. Con respecto al mercado de tierras, se identifican las coyunturas en las que se presentaron burbujas de precios y se explica la lógica seguida por estos en este contexto histórico particular.

Esta conversación versa sobre el artículo publicado en el número 94 de Historia Agraria (diciembre 2024), mismo que reconstruye el proceso de acumulación de tierras llevado a cabo por la United Fruit Company en la zona bananera del Magdalena (Colombia) y analiza el surgimiento y evolución del mercado de tierras entre 1880 y 1930, periodo de formación y expansión de la frontera agraria del banano en esta región. Basado en una exhaustiva minería de datos de fuentes notariales, los resultados muestran que la adquisición de tierras se dio en momentos puntuales, a partir de las relaciones establecidas con miembros de la élite regional. Con respecto al mercado de tierras, se identifican las coyunturas en las que se presentaron burbujas de precios y se explica la lógica seguida por estos en este contexto histórico particular.

Los productores de banano de todo el mundo se reunirán en Guayaquil, Ecuador en abril, durante la Cumbre de Banano 2025. Este evento congregará a investigadores, productores y especialistas para discutir soluciones sostenibles ante los desafíos que enfrenta la industria bananera.  

1-Quisiera saber si es cierto que tomar agua helada cuando uno tiene tos es malo. 2-¿Es verdad que pronto la NASA va a construir un ferrocarril en la Luna, qué beneficios traerá esto? 3-¿Cómo se llama la enfermedad del banano de Panamá y si ya llegó a Costa Rica? 4-¿Qué pasa en nuestro cuerpo si consumimos carne de un animal que tenía cáncer? 5-Tengo dos gallinas que ponen huevos de cáscara verde, pero no quieren empollar. ¿Por qué será? 6-¿Por qué la Isla de los Faisanes le pertenece 6 meses a España y los otros 6 meses a Francia? Programa de radio "Oigamos la Respuesta" del Instituto Centroamericano de Extensión de la Cultura (ICECU). El programa se hace con las preguntas que envían nuestros oyente y las respuestas que se elaboran en el ICECU con un lenguaje claro y sencillo desde el año 1964.

El fusarium raza cuatro que se detectó y se encuentra controlado en algunas fincas en la zona de la costa caribe es una de las enfermedades más devastadoras para el cultivo de bananos y plátanos en el mundo, de hecho, se considera como unas de las diez enfermedades de plantas más importantes en la historia de la humanidad.

Une artiste franco-colombienne RFI Talent, puis une formation congauloise, bienvenue dans la #SessionLive ! Notre 1ère invitée dans la #SessionLive est Ëda Diaz pour la sortie de l'album Suave Bruta #RFI TalentAvec Suave Bruta, la contrebassiste et chanteuse franco-colombienne Ëda Diaz présente son 1er album, 11 titres combinant rythmes traditionnels sud-américains et expérimentations électroniques ultra-créatives. À mi-chemin entre une carte astrale poétique et un pont express sur l'Atlantique, Suave Bruta propose une expérience unique. Douce ou indomptable ? Organique ou électronique ? Euros ou pesos ? Ne pas choisir, c'est encore choisir : Ëda Diaz le sait car elle veut tout, et ne s'en excuse pas !Avec Suave Bruta, la musicienne opère une authentique réconciliation des différentes parties de son identité, des fragments riches et complémentaires qu'elle a longtemps pris pour des contraires. Française par sa mère, Colombienne par son père, Éléonore Diaz Arbelaez a tôt fait d'apprendre à jongler entre les langues, les cultures, les rythmes et les manières de pratiquer la musique grâce à de nombreux allers-retours entre Paris et Medellín. Pendant plus de quinze ans, Ëda Diaz s'applique sagement au piano classique au Conservatoire de Boulogne-Billancourt. Mais chaque été, au son du tiple et des petits verres d'aguardiente qu'on entrechoque dans le patio de la maison familiale à Medellín, sa grand-mère lui transmet la fougue des tangos de Carlos Gardel, le romantisme des boléros, la liesse des bambucos et tout un répertoire de chants populaires issus des grandes traditions de la musique sud-américaine. Dès lors, réunir les deux continents devient l'obsession d'Ëda Diaz. Mais comment faire ? Comment se situer ? Comment être soi-même ?Puisqu'elle ne se sent ni l'âme d'une concertiste ni celle d'une folkloriste, Ëda Diaz se met alors au rock psyché ! Un pas de côté qui lui permet de se libérer de ses complexes académiques, d'écrire ses premiers textes et de trouver sa voix. La véritable épiphanie, enfin, prendra la forme d'une contrebasse, une évidence pour Ëda Diaz que son padre a biberonné aux plus beaux tumbaos de la salsa. En boucle à la maison : Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo et Joe Arroyo, le plus charismatique de tous les chanteurs de salsa colombiens. L'un de ses grands classiques, ‘Suave Bruta', donne d'ailleurs son nom au premier album d'Ëda Diaz, désormais en paix avec son héritage, son identité, ses goûts et son époque.Pour l'accompagner, elle fait appel à Climène Zarkan (chœurs, clavier, pad), Anthony Winzenrieth (guitare, clavier) et Baptiste de Chabaneix (percussions, pad). Et bien que Suave Bruta soit un disque très produit, rien n'est figé et tout est possible, car ce qui compte le plus pour Ëda Diaz, c'est d'abord l'alchimie collective, la rencontre et l'émotion, l'énergie du réel, la puissance magique de l'instant.Titres interprétés au grand studio- Tiemblas Live RFI + RFI Vidéos.- Sábana y Banano, extrait de l'album- Nenita Live RFI + RFI Vidéos.Line Up : Ëda Diaz chant contrebasse, Anthony Winzenrieth, guitare, claviers, Baptiste de Chabaneix, percussions et Climène Zarkan, chœurs, claviers.Son : Mathias Taylor & Benoît Letirant.Réalisation : Hadrien Touraud.► Album Suave Bruta (Airfono 2024).Puis nous recevons le groupe Tonn3rr3 & Bikay3 dans la #SessionLive pour la sortie de l'album It's A Bomb !La musique du congolais Bony Bikaye, il a longtemps fallu la chercher dans le purgatoire des “musiques du monde”, lieu de tous les possibles, où les diamants bruts cohabitaient avec des cauchemars fades de blancs-becs qui congelaient la rumba façon poisson pané. Parfois, pêché plus subtil, ils la mettaient au menu alors que d'aucuns voulaient passer à autre chose. C'est le cas de Bikaye, qui grandit dans un bain de musique européenne, kiffe le Kraut, lutte avec le trad', et vient chercher les embrouilles musicales à Bruxelles. Bony Bikaye y enregistrera plusieurs albums avec CY1 (Loizillon/Micheli), et quelques transfuges des “Tueurs de la lune de miel”, produits par Hector Zazou.C'est le trio TONN3RR3 qui reprend le flambeau pour construire avec lui ce disque qui annonce la couleur fièrement : “It's a bomb”. Pensé à la maison par Guillaume Gilles (compo/claviers), l'album a été fini au studio One Two Pass It, avec Olivier Viadero et Gaëlle Salomon aux percus, Yoann Dubaud (machines & basse) et Guillaume Loizillon (programmation synthés et entremetteur de cette affaire). C'est un disque profondément musical, joué par une équipe érudite mais qui n'a plus rien à prouver, ça s'entend. Sans attitude, le disque flotte bien au-dessus de la mêlée.L'orchestre tout-puissant met tout le monde à l'amende dans un style décloisonné, avec un bel esprit de synthèse. Il y a du droit, du syncopé, de la 808, et les basses typiques qui font lever les genoux…mais ce n'est jamais le gloubiboulga : dans cette sono mondiale, il y a une vision.Titres Interprétés au grand studio- Zala Gentil Live RFI + RFI Vidéos- Banadisco / Are U Ok  / Keba, extrait de l'album- Balobi Live RFI + RFI Vidéos. Line Up : Guillaume Gilles, claviers-synthés, Yoann Dubaud, machines-basse, Olivier Viadero, percussions, Bony Bikaye, voix, Gaëlle Salomon, percussions et Guillaume Loizillon, synthé.Son : Mathias Taylor & Benoît Letirant.Réalisation : Hadrien Touraud.►Album It's A Bomb !

- Rusia levanta sanción a Ecuador para exportación del banano- Daniel Noboa anuncia el Plan de Desarrollo 2024-2025 para Ecuador: estos son los 9 objetivos del Gobierno- Morona Santiago: jueza dicta prisión preventiva para dos hermanos por atroz asesinato de cuatro niños- Por un empresario italiano se detectaron los tentáculos de un albanés en Ecuador y España: así operaba la red criminal- Muere Navalni, el enemigo número uno de Putin: Rusia deberá responder a "serias preguntas"

NotiMundo al Día - Patricio Almeida, Suspención de Exportaciones de Banano a Rusia by FM Mundo 98.1

La sanción llega tras un acuerdo entre el presidente de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, y Estados Unidos para el envío de armas a Ucrania. El banano es un elemento fundamental en la economía y las exportaciones del país. No obstante, más que buscar un golpe económico, parece que Rusia pretende dar un toque de atención diplomático al país, según el presidente la Federación Nacional de Bananeros del Ecuador. Rusia impone una sanción a la importación del banano de Ecuador. Ha sido la respuesta de Moscú al anuncio del presidente ecuatoriano, Daniel Noboa, de aceptar un canje de sus armas soviéticas por otras más modernas de Estados Unidos, que destinará las armas antiguas en el frente en Ucrania para ser utilizadas contra las tropas rusas.Sin embargo, lo que suena a importante castigo económico, ya que el banano supone el 2% del PIB nacional ecuatoriano y Rusia es su principal comprador, tiene echa mano a un argumento de otra naturaleza.Las autoridades rusas aseguran que la decisión llega tras detectar restos de la mosca jorobada en los envíos, pero la sanción no se aplica contra el producto, sino contra cinco empresas exportadoras de esta fruta. Un detalle, que como explica a RFI Franklin Torres presidente de FENABE, la Federación Nacional de Bananeros del Ecuador, deja claro que se trata de un asunto diplomático y no sanitario."Sólo cinco empresas, en realidad, de las más de 40 empresas que llegan a Rusia. Entre ellas está la del que es dueño el actual ministro de Agricultura en la actualidad. Y eso de alguna forma, creo, le da algún tinte político a la situación. Tiene que entender las declaraciones del presidente de la semana anterior, que nosotros creemos que fueron un poco desatinadas porque de alguna forma no podemos tratar a uno de nuestros principales socios comerciales, sobre todo con la sensibilidad geopolítica que tenemos en la actualidad debido a tantas guerras que tenemos, y que debió haber sido un poco más tino a las declaraciones del presidente".Esas cinco empresas proveen un 15% de los bananos exportados y sus ventas podrían, al menos a corto plazo, ser asumidas por otras compañías.Aún así, entre enero y noviembre de 2023, Ecuador exportó bananos por un valor de 689 millones de dólares y un 21% fue a Rusia. Por ello Franklin Torres pide una doble solución: por un lado cerciorarse de que se respetan los estándares de producción, y por otro, que el Gobierno acerque posturas con Rusia, importante aliado comercial."Pienso que Ecuador tiene que, de alguna manera, corresponder a ese toque con una medida primero técnica, tenemos que reforzar las medidas de seguridad, de bioseguridad, de asepsia, de higiene, y obviamente la diplomática, que de alguna forma tiene que subsanar ese impase que ha habido y que de alguna forma nos está abriendo brechas con un socio comercial no solo para banano a Rusia llega a banano, flores, aguacate, pitahaya, cacao y eso realmente podría tener un impacto muy fuerte dentro de la economía ecuatoriana".Además, el peso de esta fruta en la economía del país es fundamental, dando trabajo a 300.000 familias de forma directa. Por ello, es preferible que el problema no se enquiste a largo plazo.

Al conmemorar el Bicentésimo Segundo Aniversario de Independencia de la ciudad de Guayaquil, la Asamblea Nacional sesionó en el puerto principal. El presidente del Parlamento, Virgilio Saquicela, exaltó a la Perla del Pacífico, señalando que Ecuador está cansado de adjetivos, de peleas, de enfrentamientos y discusiones, necesita paz y unidad e hizo un llamado al diálogo como único mecanismo para lograr acuerdos en beneficio de lo ecuatorianos. Expresó su decisión de impulsar una patria distinta, donde se sepulte el odio, donde no haya desnutrición, en la cual se destierre el desempleo, se salga sin temor a la delincuencia, donde haya siempre una escuela para que un niño estudie, en la que tengamos un buen sistema de salud y no mueran nuestros padres e hijos por la falta de medicinas. “Sobre este andarivel trabaja y debe trabajar la Asamblea Nacional que hoy saluda a la ciudad de Guayaquil”, subrayó. También manifestó que tiene el reto histórico de coadyuvar a que se sostenga la democracia, de buscar la paz del Ecuador de la mano de todo este grupo de asambleístas que representan a su pueblo en la diversidad de sus votantes. “Vengo para reverenciar la aurora gloriosa que anunció la libertad como un instrumento de la democracia de este Ecuador”, concluyó Virgilio Saquicela. De su lado, Melvin Hoyos Galarza, miembro de la Academia Nacional de Historia, destacó la gesta independentista del 9 de octubre de 1820, donde varios hombres y mujeres con patriotismo lucharon por adquirir la libertad. Habló de los personajes que se reunieron para trazar los lineamientos de la Primera República Independiente, el primer estado libre e independiente. Acuerdos En la sesión solemne por parte de las autoridades del Parlamento, se entregaron acuerdos legislativos y condecoraciones a ilustres ciudadanos e instituciones de la ciudad de Guayaquil. Fueron homenajeados: Thomás Hanisch, Vicente Wong Naranjo, Mauricio Salem Mendoza, Jorge Fernando Buñay, Miguel Vanoni Patiño, Nicolás Ulloa Figeroa, Alfredo Escobar San Lucas, Eduardo Mendoza Paladines. También, José Jouvin Vernaza, Washington Hagó, Raúl Alcívar González, Antonio Tramontana, José Herrera Valarezo, Cecilia Paredes Verduga, Daniel Molina Rodríguez, Patricia González Avellán, María José Agusto, Mónica Gilbert, Pedro Valverde Rivera; Fundación Cruzada Nuevos Horizontes, la Asociación de Exportadores del Banano del Ecuador y homenaje póstumo a Tania Tinoco, Carlos Pérez Perasso, Ronald Sonne Kusijanovic y León Febres Cordero. Mauricio Salem Mendoza, en representación de los homenajeados, agradeció al Legislativo por la distinción realizada a hombres, mujeres e instituciones que luchan por hacer grande el país. Dijo que se requiere de decisión y acción; la Asamblea debe ser canalizadora de esperanza, “señor Presidente Virgilio Saquicela le toca defender el curso de la democracia en manos de quienes tengan identidad de fines y afán de la misma historia”, resaltó. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hechosecuador/message

Banano colombiano, a la conquista de Europa (CO-nectados) by ProColombia

Francesco Zarzanadirettore artistico"Modena Buk Festival"http://www.bukfestival.it/ Modena BUK Festival, si rinnova l'appuntamento con la kermesse di riferimento della piccola e media editoria nazionale: promosso come sempre da ProgettArte per la direzione artistica di Francesco Zarzana, il festival festeggia la sua 15^ edizione in programma quest'anno nel cuore di Modena, il Chiostro di San Paolo, con la partecipazione di una trentina di case editrici selezionate a livello nazionale, e con 16 incontri dedicati alle nuove uscite stagionali. Il Festival apre venerdì 6 maggio nello scenografico Cortile del Banano dove sarà dislocata anche la vivacissima mostra degli editori, alle 18.30 riflettori su “Il centenario corsaro. Pier Paolo Pasolini, ritratto eretico”, la conversazione affidata al poeta e scrittore Davide Rondoni in dialogo con l'attore e regista David Riondino. Dopo la sinergia scenica avviata con i “tipi danteschi”, Rondoni e Riondino riprendono il filo delle parole e delle opere di un artista che ha lasciato il segno nella coscienza del Paese. E sabato 7 maggio, sempre alle 18.30 nella Sala del Leccio, spazio al secondo dialogo di BUK su PPP: “I Maestri sono fatti per essere mangiati” riprende la battuta di un film iconico di Pier Paolo Pasolini, “Uccellacci e Uccellini“ (1966). BUK Festival richiama quella intuizione attraverso la conversazione che vedrà protagonisti Davide Toffolo, autore del graphic novel Pasolini – un fumetto di culto scritto e disegnato vent'anni fa e oggi ripubblicato da Rizzoli Lizard – e Gian Mario Villalta, poeta e scrittore nonché direttore artistico di Pordenonelegge, Festa del Libro con gli Autori. Sarà l'occasione per sfogliare insieme un grande classico del fumetto italiano: e per riscoprire la forza, la rabbia e la dolcezza di un uomo e di un poeta senza tempo, un Maestro che ha indicato la via per vivere da artisti e uomini liberi.BUK Festival 2022 si concluderà domenica 8 maggio, con un appuntamento per il mese successivo: dal 3 al 5 giugno, a Modena (Cinema Astra e Sala Truffaut) e Sassuolo (Crogiolo Marazzi) si accenderà la 3^ edizione di BUK Film Festival, come sempre nel segno di cinema e letteratura.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

La comercialización internacional de banano nació a finales del siglo XIX y se consolidó durante el siglo XX, gracias a la expansión de operaciones de compañías multinacionales como Dole, Chiquita, Fyffes, entre otras, que expandieron la frontera agrícola bananera y establecieron la logística internacional y los canales de distribución en los mercados de destino de la fruta.(Nota completa)

¿Es posible contar la historia del siglo XX latinoamericano utilizando el banano, y su explotación, como hilo conductor? Un programa dedicado a 'Banana Craze' un fascinante proyecto internacional de Juanita Solano y Blanca Serrano que investiga como el banano ha dado forma a las identidades, los ecosistemas y las violencias de América Latina.
