Confira nesta edição do JR 24 Horas: A Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro realiza duas operações nesta quarta-feira (3). Uma delas investiga um golpe milionário que envolve obras de arte e imóveis de alto padrão. A Operação Tela Falsa cumpre mandados nos bairros de Ipanema, Recreio dos Bandeirantes e Barra da Tijuca, além de Niterói, na região metropolitana do Rio.

Dois corpos negros completamente nus, vestidos apenas com meias e tênis brancos. Rodeada pela plateia que se senta ao chão, a dupla de performers brasileiros marca o ritmo da coreografia com o bater dos pés. Com a obra Repertório número 3, os artistas cariocas Davi Pontes e Wallace Ferreira foram indicados ao maior prêmio da dança mundial, o Rose International Dance Prize, do Sadler's Wells, a principal casa de dança internacional do Reino Unido. Yula Rocha, correspondente da RFI em Londres Uma performance política pós-colonial que explora questões centrais de gênero e raça no Brasil e no mundo, a obra indicada foi resultado de uma pesquisa de quase dez anos que teve lançamento na Bienal de São Paulo, em um momento político dominado pela retórica da extrema direita no Brasil. Wallace Ferreira explica que o Repertório número 3 é a segunda parte de uma trilogia que começa em 2018 e surge em um contexto histórico importante para o Brasil. E foi justamente essa performance que levou os dois artistas cariocas para o mundo. “Esse trabalho fala muito sobre o Brasil, mas também são questões que atravessam [fronteiras]. Pra gente não tem como falar sobre racialidade e violência, sem falar sobre o contexto político atual. Sinto que é um trabalho que responde a uma questão no Brasil, mas o mundo se reconhece” , diz Davi Pontes. Davi e Wallace se referem à violência, discriminação e ameaça à sua própria existência como pessoas negras periféricas. A coreografia tem marcação ritmada, com poses e gestos sedutores diante do olhar julgador do público. Em resposta, a dupla apresenta o que chama de "uma dança de autodefesa". “A cada situação de violência, a cada operação policial essa palavra [autodefesa] volta, ela precisa ser dita. A importância desse  trabalho é olhar para o contexto do mundo atual e perceber que as coisas não estão fáceis. E ainda assim conseguir trazer uma alternativa possível de continuar vivendo nesse mundo”, diz Davi. Para Wallace a autodefesa tem diversas maneiras de se acontecer: “ela está no embate, está no escape, no se camuflar, no constranger, na ironia, no deboche, no humor. Nos interessa pensar numa ideia de se autodefender que seja mais opaca, que não seja explícita.” E a autodefesa não é luta física. "É estar presente, ali, na sua frente. Dois dançarinos  negros, marginalizados que existem, resistem. É sobre a presença de corpos nus, rodeados pela platéia sentada em volta deles no chão. A obra dos brasileiros foi indicada ao prêmio aqui em Londres justamente por seu valor e qualidade como peça coreográfica e teatral, mas também por sua relevância e urgência. Por questionar a nossa percepção e o posicionamento que escolhemos ter", diz Wallace. Davi explica que ter a platéia tão próxima e no mesmo nível que os dançarinos é entender que todos os que estão presentes fazem parte do jogo e são responsáveis pelo o que está sendo apresentado. “Esse trabalho se coloca na situação de responder, de ouvir, de observar e estar atento.” A dupla nunca sequer cogitou estar vestida em cena “A pesença de um corpo negro nu no espaço de fato causa tanto incômodo que eu não preciso mover e criar embate, só a minha presença já torna insustentável de olhar. Dependendo do país, a gente entra na sala e as pessoas querem correr porque elas não conseguem lidar com aquilo", aponta. Wallace afirma que não se sente vulnerável: “Entendemos que o lugar da vulnerabilidade é também um lugar de potência”. Wallace foi criado em Vigário Geral e Davi em São Gonçalo, bem longe das famosas Ipanema ou Copacabana. Da periferia do Rio, fizeram carreira internacional desconstruindo padrões e expectativas da dança contemporânea. A  temática política continua a guiar o próximo trabalho deles - uma colaboração com outros coreógrafos estrangeiros. “É bom não esquecer onde tudo começou ainda numa sala vazia, pra quando chegar em uma sala lotada não pensar que tudo aconteceu do nada. A vitória vem se construindo todos os dias. Que eu ainda possa acordar e falar: -  hoje vou viver do meu trabalho, vou viver fazendo aquilo que eu acreditei, aquilo que eu sonhei”, conclui Wallace. O vencedor do prêmio será anunciado em fevereiro do ano que vem, quando os indicados brasileiros Davi e Wallace se apresentam nos palcos de Londres.

A gente nunca esteve tão conectado. E, paradoxalmente, a gente nunca sentiu tanta necessidade de sair de casa.A OMS já declarou uma crise de saúde social global, onde o isolamento virou um problema de saúde pública. Mas no meio desse boom de telas, algoritmos que entregam tudo mastigado e inteligências artificiais gerando conteúdos que a gente nem sabe mais se são reais, um fenômeno contraintuitivo tomou conta do país.Filas virtuais com centenas de milhares de pessoas disputando um ingresso para o Oasis ou para o BTS. Praias lotadas em Copacabana para ver Madonna, e festivais que dão sold out no escuro. O Brasil é, hoje, o segundo maior mercado de shows ao vivo do mundo, atrás apenas dos Estados Unidos. Se a gente tem acesso a qualquer show ou conteúdo do mundo no sofá de casa, a um clique de distância, o que nos faz enfrentar horas de pé, chuva e perrengue? Que fome de encontro é essa?No episódio #557, para entender a magia da Economia da Presença e discutir os encontros que mudam as nossas vidas, convidamos O Igor e o Enrico, dois especialistas apaixonados por construir comunidades.Vem com a gente desvendar por que o nosso maior símbolo de status hoje é gerenciar o próprio tempo, como os eventos viraram a nossa prova de realidade, e por que, no fim do dia, a gente só quer mesmo é suar na pista de dança e sentir junto.---

A proposta também prevê autorização prévia para embarcações e destinação de recursos para áreas militar e econômica.

Shakira Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Tragedy struck Shakira's world just days ago when a 28-year-old Brazilian construction worker named Gabriel de Jesus Firmino died from crushing injuries while assembling the stage for her massive Todo Mundo no Rio concert on Copacabana Beach. ABC3340 reports the accident happened on April 26th, when stage elevators crushed his lower limbs during setup, and despite emergency efforts by firefighters rushing him to Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital, he passed away. The event organizers confirmed the news via Instagram, as translated by People magazine, expressing grief over the loss of the professional on site. Police halted work Sunday for investigation, with lead investigator Angelo Lages telling journalists that the stage-operating company faces scrutiny for possible workplace safety violations, per Associated Press coverage on Audacy. By Monday, construction resumed, WSLS notes, gearing up for Shakira's show this weekend that could draw millions to Rio's iconic sands.Shakira broke her silence in a heartfelt statement, saying she is deeply saddened for the family, friends, and colleagues of Firmino, according to 960 The Ref. This somber incident overshadows what promises to be a biographical milestone, echoing her history of boundary-breaking beach spectacles like her record-shattering 2024 World Cup closer there.

Confira no Morning Show desta segunda-feira (27): Em clima de pré-campanha para a reeleição de Lula, o PT aprovou um novo manifesto que retira as críticas diretas ao sistema financeiro e acena para o "Centrão". A bancada do Morning Show debate se a mudança é uma estratégia de governabilidade ou apenas uma peça de propaganda para atrair o mercado e evitar novos conflitos com o Judiciário. Entenda os bastidores dessa guinada política e o impacto no bolso do brasileiro. A Polícia Civil de São Paulo deflagrou uma operação contra a infiltração do PCC em prefeituras e no financiamento de campanhas políticas. O esquema utilizava lobistas e empresas para lavar dinheiro do tráfico por meio de contratos públicos, com bloqueios que já somam R$500 milhões. A bancada do Morning Show debate a gravidade da ocupação do Estado pelo crime organizado e a necessidade de medidas mais rígidas. O ministro do STF, Flávio Dino, defende um endurecimento sem precedentes nas penas para crimes de corrupção praticados por juízes, promotores e advogados. A proposta, que visa criar um "agravante institucional", sugere o afastamento imediato de cargos e a suspensão de registros profissionais em casos de má conduta. O Morning Show debate a nova tentativa de atentado contra Donald Trump durante o jantar dos correspondentes em Washington. Enquanto o atirador Cole Thomas Allen enfrenta o tribunal, a bancada analisa a reação furiosa do presidente dos EUA, ao ser questionado sobre o manifesto do criminoso.

 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is part 1 of 2. .  Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences. The FAQ is: What are three phrases to learn for Brazil? Answer: Language Insights: Your Spanish will help tremendously. While English is less commonly spoken outside tourist hotspots, learning a few key Portuguese phrases can enhance your experience: Bom dia (Good morning) Obrigada (Thank you – from women) Quanto custa? (How much?) These should help you on your first day. Translation apps are a great aid, but personal effort in learning the language shows respect for the rich Brazilian culture and will be warmly appreciated. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, the Confidence Challenge in Rio, will be to shop at the market, and you will find that the fresh fruits and vegetables are the best bargains. You may also find that your washing and drying machines are located by the market and are easy to operate. I found a laundromat that took less than 40 minutes for small loads, washing and drying my clothes. It was a bargain, too. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into shopping and getting life tasks like laundry completed, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Part 1 of 2   If Rio has been sitting in the back of your mind for years, let's talk honestly about what you really need to know before you go — especially as a solo female traveler. Rio is bold. It's beautiful. It's emotional. But it is not passive travel. You need a plan. This is Step 5: Solo Travel. While the views from hillside Airbnbs can be captivating, prioritizing safety and convenience for your first visit is paramount. My favorite days in Rio were going to Copacabana and Ipanema, plus visiting Christ the Redeemer and praying in the small chapel at the top, where no one else was there. Embrace the Safety Reality with Confidence Rio does showcase visible poverty and inequality, but don't let that intimidate you. Staying alert and taking smart precautions can ensure a safe experience. Here are some helpful tips: - Keep jewelry minimal to avoid drawing attention. - Opt for a crossbody bag with a secure zipper. - Use your phone discreetly; keep it tucked away unless in use. - Take Uber for nighttime travels instead of random taxis. - While daytime at the beach is lively and fun, stick to populated areas after dark. I had no problems with theft or any scary times in the city. It is Step 5 travel, for sure. Remember, a blend of confidence and awareness will enable you to enjoy your time in this dynamic city! Strategically Visit the Icons You've seen the breathtaking photos. Be sure to visit these 4 places: - **Christ the Redeemer**: Arrive early or later in the day to dodge the heat and throngs of tourists. - **Sugarloaf Mountain**: Enjoy the smooth ride and savor the extraordinary sunset views. I didn't visit, but I did see it every day from Niteroi. Listen to that episode later. - **Selarón Steps**: Experience the vibrant colors and energy; be sure to visit during the day. This was an unexpected delight, and a bit of a tourist trap. The nearby Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian (Catedral Metropolitana de São Sebastião) is the main church located near the Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a distinctive, conical-shaped, modern cathedral situated just a short distance away in the Lapa neighborhood. You can walk there from the steps as I did, even though it was midday and very hot. Break up the travel into two-hour segments and stay refreshed. - **Rio Botanical Garden**: This peaceful, underrated gem boasts flat walking paths perfect for a reflective afternoon. Water: Respect the Ocean- I swam every day here. If you have a love for the ocean, Rio will not disappoint! Just remember that Atlantic currents can be strong, so stay safe by: - Swimming near lifeguard stations. I loved being at Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, and nearby hotels for some r and r. - Steering clear of isolated areas. - Keeping an eye on your belongings; don't leave them unattended. - Renting a beach chair from credible vendors for comfort. Morning walks on the beach are magical and provide a quieter atmosphere to enjoy. Translation apps are a great aid, but personal effort to learn the language shows respect for Brazil's rich culture and will be warmly appreciated. **Cultural Awareness** Brazilians are warm, expressive, and affectionate. You might hear comments or whistles that are cultural rather than threatening. Always trust your instincts—if something feels off, don't hesitate to remove yourself from the situation. Dress stylishly but simply to blend in and enjoy your surroundings. **Final Thought for Solo Women in their prime** Rio is not about conquering fear, but about being well-prepared. When you stroll along Copacabana at sunrise, feeling the refreshing Atlantic breeze, you'll discover something important: you are capable of so much more than you realize.    —————— My missteps: Travel Mistakes to Avoid in Rio: Beat the midday heat.   Travel early in the morning and don't try to beat the midday heat. Sometimes, it was so hot, I just wanted to melt. Save yourself with a midday nap if possible. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

A decisão será comunicada ao governador em exercício, Ricardo Couto, que havia enviado um ofício à Corte questionando se o pleito seria direto ou indireto. O Brasil apresentou o primeiro caça supersônico F-39E Gripen produzido no país, em evento realizado no aeródromo da Embraer, em Gavião Peixoto (SP). A cerimônia contou com a presença do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e de autoridades, marcando um avanço importante na indústria de defesa nacional. O governo federal e lideranças dos caminhoneiros chegaram a um acordo para adiar a possibilidade de uma nova greve nacional da categoria. A decisão foi tomada após reunião no Palácio do Planalto, onde foram discutidos temas como o piso mínimo do frete e a manutenção da medida provisória do setor. O encontro terminou sem anúncio de paralisação e com o compromisso do Executivo de preservar o texto original no Congresso, garantindo momentâneo alívio para o transporte e a economia. O Senado Federal aprovou o novo Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE) nesta quarta-feira (25), após o texto já ter passado pela Comissão de Educação no mesmo dia. A votação no plenário foi simbólica, sem registro nominal de votos, indicando consenso entre os parlamentares. O plano estabelece metas e diretrizes para a educação brasileira pelos próximos 10 anos. O Irã rejeitou a proposta de paz apresentada pelos Estados Unidos e classificou o plano como “excessivo e desconectado da realidade”. O governo iraniano afirmou que o presidente Donald Trump não determinará os termos do fim do conflito e confirmou o envio de uma contraproposta. Em entrevista à Jovem Pan, o diretor-geral da ANTT, Guilherme Theo Sampaio, analisou os impactos da guerra no cenário internacional sobre o preço dos combustíveis no Brasil. A Justiça do Rio de Janeiro ouviu os depoimentos de três acusados de envolvimento em um estupro coletivo contra uma menor de idade ocorrido em um apartamento em Copacabana, na Zona Sul da capital. Prestaram esclarecimentos Bruno Felipe dos Santos Allegretti, Matheus Veríssimo Zoel Martins e Vitor Hugo Oliveira Simonin, todos acompanhados de seus advogados. A Casa Branca afirmou que o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, poderá “desencadear o inferno” contra o Irã caso o país não aceite um acordo para encerrar a guerra no Oriente Médio. A declaração foi feita pela porta-voz Karoline Leavitt, após a rejeição iraniana ao plano de paz proposto por Washington. Preso desde o dia 19 de março na sede da Polícia Federal, em Brasília, o empresário Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, avançou nas negociações para um acordo de delação premiada. A expectativa é que a defesa apresente formalmente a proposta à Polícia Federal e à Procuradoria-Geral da República nas próximas semanas. A corrupção é apontada como o principal problema do Brasil por 59,9% dos brasileiros, segundo pesquisa da AtlasIntel em parceria com a Bloomberg. O levantamento mostra que criminalidade e tráfico de drogas aparecem em segundo lugar, com 53%, enquanto temas como economia e inflação (24,9%), saúde (18,6%) e feminicídio (14,9%) surgem com menor peso.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta sexta-feira (06): O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal, André Mendonça, determinou a transferência do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, para a Penitenciária Federal de Brasília. A decisão atende a um pedido da Polícia Federal e ocorre após a prisão do empresário em uma operação que investiga um suposto esquema bilionário de fraudes financeiras. Vorcaro está detido na Penitenciária 2 de Potim, no interior de São Paulo. A Polícia Federal investiga mensagens encontradas no celular do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, que indicariam proximidade com autoridades dos Três Poderes. Nos diálogos analisados pela CPI mista do INSS, Vorcaro menciona encontros com o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes e o presidente do Senado Davi Alcolumbre. As mensagens também citam o senador Ciro Nogueira e a eleição do deputado Hugo Motta para a presidência da Câmara. As conversas, muitas delas com a influenciadora Martha Graeff, estão sendo analisadas pelas autoridades no contexto das investigações sobre o Banco Master. Uma decisão do ministro Flávio Dino, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), anulou a quebra dos sigilos bancário e fiscal de Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, conhecido como Lulinha. A medida havia sido aprovada pela Comissão Parlamentar Mista de Inquérito do INSS (CPMI do INSS). A comissão de Supervisão da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos aprovou a intimação da secretária de Justiça Pam Bondi para prestar esclarecimentos sobre a atuação do Departamento de Justiça dos Estados Unidos na condução do caso envolvendo o financista Jeffrey Epstein. A Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro pretende obter novas provas contra os envolvidos em estupros de estudantes do Colégio Federal Pedro II, no Rio de Janeiro. Os investigadores ainda esperam conseguir dados do celular e de computadores do adolescente denunciado à Justiça por dois crimes de estupro. O jovem é apontado pela polícia como mentor dos ataques, que seguem a mesma dinâmica. A polícia também não descarta pedir quebra de sigilo telefônico dos quatro réus envolvidos no estupro coletivo a uma jovem de 17 anos, em Copacabana. O presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump, disse nesta quinta-feira (05) que seria “uma perda de tempo” considerar o envio de tropas terrestres americanas ao Irã neste momento. Trump também afirmou que precisa estar “envolvido” na escolha do próximo líder do Irã após a morte do líder supremo Ali Khamenei. Em entrevista ao site Axios, Trump descartou a possibilidade de o filho do aiatolá, Mojtaba Khamenei, assumir o comando do país, chamando-o de “peso morto”.

Vorcaro está detido na Penitenciária 2 de Potim, no interior de São Paulo. Luiz Phillipi Mourão, conhecido como "Sicário", apontado pelas investigações como o braço direito do empresário Daniel Vorcaro, se tornou assunto nos últimos dias após ser alvo do mandado de prisão preventiva. A defesa do suspeito negou os boatos de morte cerebral, mas confirmou que o quadro clínico dele é considerado gravíssimo. Ele teria tentado tirar a própria vida no exato momento em que foi alvo do mandado de prisão preventiva expedido pela Justiça. O ministro das Relações Exteriores do Irã, Abbas Araghchi, afirmou que o país está preparado para repelir uma eventual invasão terrestre das Forças Armadas dos Estados Unidos. Segundo Araghchi, o governo iraniano está “aguardando” qualquer movimento americano e garante que suas forças estão prontas para defender o território nacional caso ocorra uma ofensiva por terra. Durante a análise das mensagens, a comentarista Jess Peixoto destacou que a agenda do empresário contava com contatos frequentes e diretos com grandes figuras políticas do país, como o ex-presidente da República, Jair Bolsonaro, além de parlamentares influentes e presidentes partidários como Ciro Nogueira (Progressistas), Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil), Hugo Motta (Republicanos) e Antônio Rueda (União Brasil).

Segundo a publicação americana, autoridades confirmaram que o governo russo forneceu informações de inteligência para os iranianos com o objetivo de rastrear e monitorar alvos militares americanos na região do conflito. O painel do Morning Show destacou como Daniel Vorcaro justificava constantemente seus passos citando reuniões com ministros e senadores, demonstrando uma mistura de vaidade e receio de ser exposto. Durante a análise, chamou a atenção dos comentaristas a mensagem em que o investigado compara o ambiente financeiro a uma máfia, assumindo uma postura de "poderoso chefão" nos bastidores do esquema de corrupção. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Gianni and Jeanie interview Tony Orlando, who recounts knowing Russo since around 1980 and praises Russo's legendary storytelling and Las Vegas speakeasy era. Russo shares stories from his youth, including selling ballpoint pens after polio and meeting Frank Costello, plus his real-estate connection to O.J. Simpson's Rockingham house. Orlando and Russo discuss shared connections to John Catsimatidis and the Copacabana, where Orlando says his uncle Carmine Fava was maitre d' and where Orlando witnessed performers while underage. Orlando tells personal stories involving Crazy Joe Gallo (including being invited to Gallo's home and seeing a pet lion), his early hit at 16 (“Halfway to Paradise” written by Carole King), and friendships with major entertainers. Orlando describes working at CBS with Clive Davis as a vice president, signing artists like Barry Manilow, and later achieving major success with Tony Orlando and Dawn, including “Tie a Yellow Ribbon,” a TV show watched by 36 million weekly, and a Phyllis Diller on-air moment where her wig came off. He shares multiple Frank Sinatra anecdotes, including Sinatra correcting his diction, recording “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” for John Wayne, arranging a star-studded Friars Club event honoring Gene Kelly, and a Caesars Palace night when Sinatra learned his mother's plane had crashed. Orlando explains he retired from touring concerts due to travel and overhead but is launching a storytelling show and considering a book or audio format; he also notes work for eight presidents and other career highlights. The conversation ends with Russo promoting upcoming New Jersey appearances and book signings, and Orlando describing his WABC radio show and longtime veterans charity work through his Tribute to Valor Foundation, which brings Medal of Honor recipients to schools and has reached about 100,000 students.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta terça-feira (03): O presidente Donald Trump afirmou nesta segunda-feira (02) que a guerra foi planejada para durar “quatro ou cinco semanas”, mas destacou que os Estados Unidos estão preparados para sustentar os ataques por mais tempo, caso necessário. Na mesma noite, o governo americano emitiu um alerta recomendando que cidadãos deixem 14 países do Oriente Médio, incluindo Arábia Saudita, Egito e Líbano. O secretário de Defesa dos Estados Unidos, Pete Hegseth, afirmou que o país não iniciou a guerra, mas que pretende encerrá-la sob a liderança do presidente Donald Trump. Em declaração pública, ele classificou o Irã como uma ameaça direta à segurança americana. O Exército de Israel informou nesta segunda-feira (02) ter matado um comandante da Jihad Islâmica Palestina no Líbano. Segundo as Forças de Defesa de Israel, Abu Hamza Rami ocupava há anos um dos principais postos do grupo e teria sido responsável por centenas de ataques contra o território israelense. O ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad (PT), afirmou nesta segunda-feira (02) que está analisando o pedido do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva para disputar o governo de São Paulo. Antes de participar de uma aula magna na Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de São Paulo, ele reiterou que não pretendia ser candidato, mas admitiu que pode reconsiderar após conversa com Lula e o vice-presidente Geraldo Alckmin (PSB). O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal, negou nesta segunda-feira (02) o pedido de prisão domiciliar humanitária apresentado pela defesa do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Condenado a 27 anos e 3 meses de prisão, Bolsonaro segue cumprindo pena em regime fechado na Papudinha, em Brasília. Quais são os efeitos da guerra sobre a economia mundial? Para analisar o cenário, a Jovem Pan entrevista Marcos Troyjo, ex-presidente do Novo Banco de Desenvolvimento. Segundo ele, a escalada do conflito pode redesenhar a geopolítica global, pressionar cadeias produtivas, elevar preços de energia e aumentar a volatilidade nos mercados financeiros. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou que o país “não está onde gostaria” em relação à quantidade de armamentos de ponta disponíveis. Apesar disso, destacou que os EUA possuem estoques “praticamente ilimitados” de armas de médio e médio-alto alcance, garantindo capacidade de sustentação em um eventual conflito prolongado. A Polícia Civil do Estado do Rio de Janeiro investiga um estupro coletivo ocorrido na noite de 31 de janeiro, em um apartamento em Copacabana, na zona Sul da capital fluminense. De acordo com o inquérito conduzido pela 12ª Delegacia de Polícia, a vítima, uma adolescente de 17 anos, teria sido atraída ao local em uma emboscada articulada pelo ex-namorado. Quatro jovens foram indiciados e tiveram a prisão preventiva decretada pela Justiça, enquanto outro adolescente tem a conduta apurada pela Vara da Infância e da Adolescência. A polícia segue em busca dos suspeitos. Pesquisa divulgada pelo Real Time Big Data mostra que o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) lidera o primeiro turno em três cenários estimulados para a Presidência da República. Em todas as simulações, o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) aparece em segundo lugar. No eventual segundo turno entre os dois, o levantamento aponta empate técnico dentro da margem de erro.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, continues his deep dive into organized crime history with prolific Mafia author Jeffrey Sussman. Sussman, the author of eight books on organized crime, joins Jenkins for a wide-ranging conversation that spans the rise, violence, prosecutions, and survival tactics of La Cosa Nostra in America. Drawing from works like Backbeat Gangsters and his latest release Mafia Hits, Misses Wars and Prosecutions, Sussman offers sharp insight into how the Mafia enforced silence, eliminated enemies, and adapted to government pressure. The discussion opens with omertà, the Mafia's infamous code of silence, and how mob warfare enforced loyalty through fear. Sussman recounts notorious hits and mob wars that shaped organized crime, then shifts to landmark prosecutions led by Thomas Dewey, whose relentless pursuit of Murder Incorporated dismantled the mob's most feared execution squad. Jenkins and Sussman examine the disastrous Appalachian Conference, where Vito Genovese overplayed his hand, drawing national attention to the Mafia and setting the stage for informants like Joe Valachi to break decades of secrecy. The episode also explores the Mafia's darkest execution methods, including lupara bianca—murders designed to leave no body and no evidence—along with chilling stories involving Mad Sam DeStefano. The assassination attempt on Joe Colombo, and its ties to Joey Gallo, highlight how ego and publicity often proved fatal in the mob world. The episode concludes with Sussman previewing his upcoming book on the Garment District, blending personal family history with organized crime's grip on American industry. Together, Jenkins and Sussman deliver a sweeping, chronological look at how the Mafia rose, fractured, and endured—leaving a permanent mark on American culture. Get his book Mafia Hits, Misses, Wars, and Prosecutions. ⏱️ Episode Chapters 00:00 – Introduction and Jeffrey Sussman's Mafia work 03:45 – Omertà and enforcing silence 07:30 – Mafia hits and internal wars 12:10 – Thomas Dewey and Murder Incorporated 18:40 – St. Valentine's Day Massacre 23:30 – Formation of the Five Families 28:50 – Italian and Jewish mob alliances 34:20 – Capone, Lansky, and Luciano 39:45 – Appalachian Conference fallout 45:10 – Vito Genovese and Joe Valachi 50:30 – Lupara blanca and body disposal 55:20 – Mad Sam DeStefano's brutality 59:40 – Joe Colombo assassination 1:05:30 – Betrayal and mob survival 1:10:50 – Sussman's upcoming Garment District book   [0:00] Hey, welcome, all you Wiretipers, back here in the studio of Gangland Wire, as you can see. This is Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective and later sergeant. I have a guest today. He is a prolific author about the mob in the United States. We have several interviews in the archives with Jeffrey Sussman. Welcome, Jeffrey. Thank you, Gary. It’s a pleasure to be with you once again. All right. How many mob books you got? Eight or nine, I think. Eight or nine. I know you’ve covered Tinseltown, the L.A. Families, the crime in L.A., the Chicago. What are some of those? I did Las Vegas, which had a number of the Chicago outfit members in it. I did Big Apple Gangsters. Oh, yeah. My last one was Backbeat Gangsters about the rock music business. Oh, yeah. And then I did also one about boxing and the mob, how the mob controlled boxing. And then my new book is Mafia Hits, Misses Wars and Prosecutions. The update is February 19th. All right. Guys, when I release this, we’re doing this, actually, we’re doing this before Christmas. But when this comes out, while you’ll be able to go to the Amazon link that I’ll have in there, get that book, we’ll have, you’ll see a picture of it as we go along. So you’ll know what the cover looks like. It sounds really interesting, especially about the Mafia Misses. But I’m sure that’s interesting. [1:29] Well, the mob, that’s their way of enforcing their rules. The omerta, somebody talks, they’re going to rub you out, supposedly. And by mob, we’re talking about primarily La Cosa Nostra, Sicilian-based organized crime in the United States. Yeah. The five families particularly have brought this up front. The five families have really perfected this as an art, killing their rivals, killing people that threaten them in any way, killing people that they even had a contract on Tom Dewey, the prosecutor, I believe, at one time. That would be a bomb miss, wouldn’t it? Yeah, actually, what happened with that is Dutch Schultz wanted the commission to take out a contract on Tom Dewey, and they said, no, we can’t do that, because if we do that, it’ll bring down too much heat on us. And so the mob wound up killing Dutch Schultz because he was too much of a threat to them in some ways. But the irony was that if they had killed him, Lucky Luciano never would have been prosecuted. He was prosecuted by Thomas Dewey. Lucky Bookhalter never would have been prosecuted and gone to the electric chair, several others as well. So, by not killing Dewey, they set themselves up to be arrested and get either very long prison terms or go to the electric chair. [2:57] Yeah, Dewey sent, I think it was four members of Murder Incorporated to the electric chair and the head of it, the Lepke book halter. And then he arrested and got a conviction against Lucky Luciano for pimping and pandering, which should have been a fairly short sentence, just a couple of years. But he had him sentenced to 50 years in prison, which is amazing, the pimping. [3:20] So if they had killed Thomas Dewey, they probably would have been better off. But that’s 2020 hindsight. Yeah, hindsight’s always 2020. And a cost-benefit analysis, if you want to apply that, why the cost of killing Tom Dooley might have been much less than the actual benefit was. That’s right. Exactly. And they came to realize that, but it was too late for them. I think they always do a cost-benefit analysis in some manner. How much heat’s going to come down from this? Can we take the heat? Because I know in Kansas City, our mob boss, Nick Savella, was in the penitentiary. He was about to get out, and he sent word out, said I want all unfinished business taken care of by the time I get out. Because when I get out, I do not want all these headlines, because murder generates headlines. And so there was like three murders in rapid succession right after that. [4:13] So they worry about the press and hits, murders generate press. So let’s go back and talk about some particular ones. One of the most famous ones was the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Do you cover that? [4:26] Yeah, I start with the assassination of Arnold Rothstein in 1928, and then I go right into the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. I go into the Castel Marari’s War, the birth of the five families. They had a famous meeting at the Franconia Hotel where the Jewish and Italian gangsters decided to form an alliance rather than fight one another. I went through the trial and conviction of Al Capone, the Bug and Meyer gang. Which evolved into Murder Incorporated, and then how Mayor LaGuardia went after the mob in New York and drove out Frank Costello, who had all the slot machines in New York, drove him down to Louisiana, where Frank Costello paid Huey Long a million dollars to let him operate slot machines all around New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana. And then there was William Dwyer, O’Dwyer, and Burton Turkus, who prosecuted the mob, other members of Murder Incorporated, and then how the federal government was using deportation to get rid of a lot of the mobsters, and how the mafia insinuated itself with entertainers and was controlling entertainers like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis and others. [5:44] And then the Appalachian Conference, and what an embarrassment that was to Vito Genovese, who wanted to declare himself the boss of bosses. Instead, he became the schmuck of schmucks because the FBI invaded this. And there was a theory that this was really set up, Meyer Lansky, Carl Gambino, and Lucky Luciano, because they didn’t want Vito Genovese to become the boss of bosses because Vito Genovese was responsible for the attempted murder of Frank Costello, and they wanted to get rid of him. After they embarrassed him with Appalachian, And then they set him up for a drug buy. Which is ridiculous because you don’t have the head of a mafia family going out on the street and buying heroin from someone. But that’s what they got him for. And they sent him off to prison for 15 years where he died. But in the realm of unintended consequences, which we just heard some, he goes down to Atlanta and a guy named Joe Valacci is down there. And he thinks that Vito Genovese is given to the fisheye and maybe wants to have him killed. [6:52] If Vito Genovese is not in Atlanta, Joe Valacci does not turn and become the first big important witness against the mob in the United States that couple that with Appalachian. And embarrassment to the FBI and then this Joe Valacci coming out with all these stories explaining what all that meant, the organized crime in the United States, why we may not have the investigation that subsequently came out of all that. It’s crazy, huh? Yeah, exactly. In terms of unintended consequences, because if Vito Genovese hadn’t given the kiss of death, supposedly, to Joe Valacci, you never would have had Joe Valacci’s testimony about how the mob operates. He opened so many doors and told so many secrets. It was a real revelation to the world. [7:42] Now, what about these murders? And I understand they call them a lupara blanca, where the body is never found. Did you talk about any of those or look into that at all? [7:53] We’ve had them in Kansas City, where it’s obviously a mob murder. They even will send a message to the family. We had one where the guy disappeared. Nobody ever found his body. But somebody called the family and said, hey, go up on Gladstone Drive and check this trash can. And then they find the guy’s clothes and his driver’s license, everything in there. Now, did you go into any of those blanks? Yeah, there were a number of mob hits, especially during the murder ink era where they would dispose of the bodies and no one would ever find them. But they would leave clues around for members of the family just so they would know that their father or their son or their brother, whoever was no longer in this world. [8:39] Yeah, that was done quite a bit. And when the Westies, which was an Irish gang that operated on the west side of New York, they believed that if you never found the corpse, you could never convict them of murder. So they used to take their dead bodies out to an island in the East River and chop them into little pieces and then dump them in the river and no one would ever find them. And supposedly they did that with dozens and dozens of bodies. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, and it is. It’s hard to prosecute without the body. It’s been done, but it’s really hard to do. You’ve got to have a really lot of circumstantial evidence to approve a murder without a body. And when Albert Anastasia and Leffy Foucault, who were running Murder Incorporated, they believed two things. One, that if you didn’t find the body, it would be hard to prosecute. And if you couldn’t show a motive, that would be the other thing that would make it difficult. So there would be absolutely no connection between the person who killed the victim and the victim. There was no connection whatsoever. So it was almost as if it was a stranger. In fact, it was a stranger who would commit the murder and then disappear and make sure that the body also disappeared. So you’d have neither motive nor body. Interesting. Pretty stiff penalty for murder. So I understand why you take some extra. Exactly. [10:08] Yeah, that tried to disassociate yourself from any motive for the body. There’s a guy in Chicago named Mad Sam DeStefano. Oh, sure. Lone shark and particularly egregious person when it came to collecting and was responsible for some murders and tortures. And they claim that he would buddy up to the person he knew he wanted to have killed and give him a watch. So then when the police came back around, he’d say, he was my friend. I gave him a present. I gave him that watch. Look and see. Ask his wife. I gave him a watch. Yeah. And I think it was Anthony Spolatro who was charged by the outfit of getting rid of Sam DiStefano because he was a friend. He had been like a protege of Crazy Sam. And so Sam didn’t suspect him as the person who would come and kill him. Yeah, that’s common clue. They say, look out. When a friend comes around and it seems a little bit funny and they want her particularly nice to you and you know you’re in trouble, anyhow, look out. Because that’s the guy that’s going to get you. Exactly. At least set you up. Maybe they have somebody else come in and pull the trigger, somebody that’ll leave town or whatever, but your friend’s going to set you up, make you comfortable. [11:24] Yeah, I think that’s exactly how it happened. We talked a little bit about the Joe Colombo murder. Did you look at that? Yes. [11:31] Tell us about that, because I’m really interested in that. I’d kind of like to do a larger story, just focusing on that, what really happened there, because that’s a mystery. Did this Jerome Johnson, this black guy, do it? Why would he do it? Nobody ever came out and connected him directly to Joey Gallo, and that’s the claim. So talk about that one. What happened is Joe Colombo formed the Italian Anti-Defamation League because he thought Italians were being blamed for too many things. And Colombo was responsible for having the producers of the movie The Godfather never use the word mafia in the movie, never use La Cosa Nostra in the movie. And he was making a big splash for himself. And this was driving a lot of people in the mafia a little crazy. They’re getting nervous because he was getting so much attention for himself, and it’s not the kind of attention they wanted. And Gambino was particularly upset about this. And Joey Gallo had been in prison, and he had been involved in the war against Profaci earlier on. And when he got out of prison, he felt that the new head of the Profaci family, who was Joe Colombo, should honor him with the amount of time that he spent in prison. And Joe Colombo offered him $1,000. [12:57] And Gallo was incensed by that. He expected $100,000. [13:02] And so he started another war with Colombo. [13:09] This would be good for Carlo Gambino because then he could use Joey Gallo to get rid of someone and his hands wouldn’t appear to be anywhere near this. And when Joey Gallo was in prison, he befriended a lot of black gangsters who were drug dealers and showed them how to succeed in the drug dealing business. And his attitude was that the mafia was very prejudiced against black people, but he thought that was stupid. He thought that we should use black criminals the same way we use any other criminals. And so he befriended a lot of blacks when he was in prison. And no one really knows how exactly he came in contact with Jerome Johnson. But anyway, Jerome Johnson was given the mission of assassinating Joe Colombo at a demonstration where Joe Colombo would be speaking about the Italian American Anti-Defamation League, which had attracted a lot of entertainers. Frank Sinatra was on the board of it. They raised a lot of money. I spoke to some Italian friends of mine at the time, and they said that people from the Italian Anti-Defamation League went around to small Italian-run stores, pizza parlors, shoe repair stores, whatever, and had them closed down for that day so that these people should attend the rally. And the rally was being held, I believe, in Columbus Circle. [14:36] And Jerome Johnson was there, and he had a press pass. So he was permitted to get very close to Joe Colombo because it appeared that he was a reporter or a photographer for a newspaper. And as soon as he got close enough, he pumped a couple of bullets into Joe Colombo’s head. Immediately, three or four gangsters descended on Jerome Johnson and killed him immediately. [15:02] And those three or four people who killed him, they disappeared into the crowd. No one ever found them again. I know. I wish we’d had cell phone footage from that. No one wouldn’t have gotten away if everybody had their cell phones out that day when they would have seen everything that happened. [15:21] Exactly. Columbo existed in a vegetative state. I think it was for about seven years before he finally died. I didn’t realize it was that long. Wow. Yeah, but he was semi-conscious. He couldn’t communicate. He was paralyzed. But the The Colombo family believed that it was Joey Gallo who was responsible for this. Joey Gallo and his new wife had been having a dinner with friends at the Copacabana nightclub in New York. They were joined at their table by Don Rickles, who had been performing that night. Comedian David Steinberg, who had been the best man at Joey Gallo’s wedding to a second wife, was there. And he suggested to them that they left the Copacabana about three o’clock in the morning. And he suggested to them that they all go down to Little Italy, go to Chinatown, and we’ll have a late dinner there. So Rick Olson and Steinberg said, it’s too late for us. You go and enjoy yourself and we’ll see you another time. Joey Gallo, his bodyguard, a Greek guy, I can’t remember his name exactly. Peter Dacopoulos. That’s it. And his wife, and Decapolis’ girlfriend and Joey Gallo’s stepdaughter. They all drove downtown. They couldn’t find anything open in Chinatown, so they drove over to Little Italy, and they went into Umberto’s Clam House. [16:49] And it was very strange, because supposedly a gangster would never do this. Joe Colombo was sitting with his back to the door. [16:58] Usually, your back is to the wall, and you’re facing the door. Oh, Joey Gallo was sitting with his back to the door. Yeah, I meant Joey Gallo. Yeah. Go ahead. And there was kind of a lonely guy sitting at the bar having a drink, and no one paid any attention to him. He was a mob wannabe, and he recognized Joey Gallo, and he went to a mob social club that was a few blocks away that was a hangout for Colombo gangsters. And when he came in and told them that joey gallo was there and the one of the guys there called a capo from the colombo family and told him who they saw and so forth and apparently he instructed them to go and get rid of him and so they took the mob wannabe guy and they got in two cars and they drove down to or around the block whatever it was to umberto’s clam house they went in and they immediately started shooting. And Colombo flipped over the table. I’m sorry, Joey Gallo flipped over the table and had his wife and girlfriend in the step door to get behind the table. And he and Peter were firing back at these guys. [18:07] Peter got shot in the ass and complained about it for many months afterwards, and Joey Gallo ran out onto the street chasing them, and he got shot in the neck, and I think it hit his carotid artery, and he bled to death on the sidewalk. And the guys from the Columbo and the Columbo wannabe guy, they quickly drove up to an apartment on the Upper East Side where the Columbo capo was. And he told them to go to a safe house in Nyack, New York, where they went. And meanwhile, the mob wannabe guy who had fingered Columbo, he’s getting very nervous. He feels that his life isn’t worth too much. He’s in over his head. [18:51] Right. So he sneaks out in the middle of the night and takes a plane to California to live with his sister. And he tries to get into the witness protection program, but they don’t believe him. They don’t believe he has enough evidence to make it worthwhile. No one knows exactly what happened to him afterwards. And the guys who supposedly killed Gallo, nothing really happened to them either. There was a huge funeral for Joey Gallo in Brooklyn. And it was like one of those old mob funerals that you see in a movie with a hundred flower cars and people lining the streets. And I think it was Joey Gallo’s mother who threw herself into the grave on top of the coffin. Oh, really? And Joey Gallo’s. [19:38] He had two brothers, one of whom had died of cancer, and the other one wound up going into another mob family. That was part of the peace deal. I can’t remember if it was the Gambino family or the Genovese family. He went into one of those two families. I think it was Gambino family, that Albert Kidd Twist gallo, I think was his name. And I think it was the Gambino family. He just kept a low profile until he died of natural causes. I think he’s dead now. He never heard from him again, basically. Exactly. [20:06] Interesting. That’s a heck of a story. A lot more stories like that in there, too. I bet. What was your favorite story out of that, or the one that shocked you or you learned something? Maybe something that you learned that you didn’t know or cut through some myth. [20:20] Probably, I’m just looking at my notes here to see what really fascinated me the most. I think the evolution of the Bug and Meyer gang. This guy, Ralph Salerno, who was a fascinating guy who headed the New York Prime Strike Force, Mafia investigators He’s been dead for about I think 10 or 15 years But I spent about Two or three hours Interviewing him A long time ago Didn’t he write a book Didn’t he write a book Called The Crime Confederation Or something like that Yes he did Yeah And it’s excellent So he knew Meyer Lansky He had met Bugsy Siegel Back once In the early 1940s He knew Frank Costello He knew all of these people And it was fascinating To, to hear his stories. And he said that during the time of the Bug and Meyer gang, they were the most vicious gang in New York. And they had a complete menu for crimes that they would commit on your behalf. Burglaries, murders, throwing people out of windows, breaking arms and legs, killing by stabbing, killing by shooting, killing by knifing. And each one had a price. And he said they actually had it printed. It was like a menu and you could check off what you wanted. [21:40] Crazy. And then he said, as they got more and more involved in prohibition, they got out of this and it evolved into Murder Incorporated, which had about 400 members, primarily Jewish and Italian gangsters. And it was run by Albert Anastasia and Lepke Bookhalter. [22:05] And when Thomas Dewey came into power, he wanted very much to convict these guys, but, Murder Incorporated had this fascinating idea that every member of Murder Incorporated would receive a monthly retainer and then it paid a special price for committing murders. And the more ambitious the member was, the more murders he would commit. So there were a couple who were really very ambitious and did a lot of murders. And each one had a specialty. So there was this one guy named Abe Hidtwist Relis, who only killed people with an ice pick in the back of the neck. And then he would leave the body in a car, talking about getting rid of bodies, and he would burn the body and leave it in the car and let other people know who were the relatives that he had been done away with. And then there was a guy named Pittsburgh Phil, who was the most ambitious of them, who supposedly committed about 100 to 150 murders because he just loved getting money for each one that he committed. [23:15] Then there was a guy named Louis Capone, who’s no relation to Al. He worked with a partner named Mendy Weiss, and the two of them went out and killed people together. They thought it was a fun event for them. It was like a boy’s night out. Who we’re going to kill today. Weren’t they two of them that got the electric chair? Yes, they did. And there’s a picture of them on the train up to Singh on their way to the electric chair. And they’re laughing. This is nothing. This is just another fun time for us. And yeah, I think there were four of them who finally went to the electric chair. And then one member of this was a guy named Charlie the Bud Workman, who finally got indicted for the murder of Dutch Schultz. He was the one who carried out the murder of Dutch Schultz for the mob. And he got, I think he was 30 years in prison. But according to his son… [24:13] Who is a PGA golfer, who is well-known in PGA circles as a very good golf competitor, said that the mob took care of his family for the entire time that Workman was in prison because he never spoke about anybody else. He really observed the rules of a murder, and they appreciated him for that. So that whole episode was like a corporation murder, which is why they called it Murder, Inc., that would go out and kill people on orders only from the mafia. They only worked for the mafia. You couldn’t hire them if you weren’t a member of the mafia. And it had to go through a mafia boss for the instructions to come down to them. A soldier couldn’t tell them what to do. Even a capo couldn’t tell them. It had to go up to a boss, the boss had to approve it, and then assign someone to do it. And they all worked out of a candy store in Brooklyn called Midnight Roses because it was open 24 hours a day. And the phone would ring there from giving whoever it was instructions about who was to be killed, where they were to be killed, how they were to do it, and so forth and so on. [25:27] So what was also interesting is even though Bugsy Siegel had left the Bug and Meyer gang, he still loved participating in murder. He liked killing people. And his partner in these murders was a guy named Frankie Carbo, who became a big deal in boxing. He controlled most of the boxing in America up until at the time of Sonny Liston. And his partner in this was a man named Blinky Palermo. [25:59] And according to Ralph Natale, who for a while had been the boss of the Philadelphia crime family, it was Frankie Carbo who was sent by the mob to kill Bugsy Siegel. Because if he was caught or Bugsy Siegel saw him around, he wouldn’t suspect that he was his killer because they were friends and they had operated as partners together. So this goes back to what we were talking about earlier. It’s your friend who comes closest to you and then arranges you to be assassinated. So I found that whole story just fascinating. Interesting. I’ll tell you what. And there’s those and a whole lot more stories in this, isn’t there, Jeff? Yes, there are. I think that the book covers pretty much the mob history, beginning with the founding of the five families, going all the way up through Sammy the Bulgurvano’s testimony against John Gotti and the commission trial, where they decapitated the heads of the five families. Not literally, folks. Not literally. Not literally. We didn’t literally decapitate. Rudy Giuliano, he tried to. He tried to. He tried to. Metaphorically, he decapitated the heads of the five families. Exactly. [27:15] You know, what was interesting, though, is in the 1930s, you had Thomas Dewey. In the 1960s, you had Robert Kennedy, who went after the mob. And then later on, you had Rudy Giuliani going after the mob. And the mob always managed to reorganize itself and figure out a new way of existing. They were very opportunistic and they always managed to find a way to keep going, even if it was very low key, which is what it is now, where they operate in the shadows and they don’t have any John Gottis or Al Capone’s out there getting a lot of attention for themselves. They’re still out there doing things. Yeah. Yeah. They finally learned something about that getting publicity. And most recently, they put together a whole scheme, and this goes way back, of cheating people. Big whales, I call them whales, of rich men that like to gamble and brush up against kind of the dark side and cheat them at cards. They’ve been doing that for years. They just do it under goes to clear black to the Friars Club scam in Los Angeles where Ronnie Roselli and some others had a spotter, would see who had what cards in what’s hands, then would tell another player. And so now there’s just more electronic, but the same game just upgraded to electronics. [28:30] That’s right. What someone I spoke to interviewed said, he said they’re very involved in electronic gambling poker machines and that kind of thing. And a lot of offshore gambling and offshore money laundering. And to some extent, even drug dealing now. And they’re still very involved in New York in the construction business. Oh, really? Yeah. Union business. They’re still in it, huh? And I know in Kansas City, there’s a couple of examples where they put money into a buy here, pay here car dealership into a title loan place because there’s a huge rate of interest on those things. And there’s a lot of scams that go down out of those places, especially the old crap cars and put them together and sell them to poor people for they’ve got $500 in the car and they sell it to them for $2,000. They charge them a 25% interest and then go repo it when the car breaks down, turn around and patch it up and sell it again. So there’s always schemes going on out there to mob will put their money into. Oh, it’s incredible. I knew of one scheme where they would They would sell trucks to people and give them a special route. And so on that route, they could make enough money to pay off the loan on the truck. But then they would take away the route from them. They couldn’t pay off the truck. So they would repossess the truck and sell it to someone else and do it all over again. [29:50] Oh, I know. They got to tell you that. And Joey Messino and the Bananos, they organized the tow main wagons, the lunch truck, the snack wagons. Right, exactly. Organize them. And then they start extorting money, formed an association. And then to get to good spots, then you had to kick money to them. And just to be part of the organization, that was kicking money to them. There’s always something. They always manage to find a place where they can make money. And it’s like whack-a-mole. You can stop them here, you can stop them there, and then they pop up in three other places. [30:24] Really all right jeffrey susman i’m so happy to talk to you again i haven’t talked to you for a while and i hope everything else is everything’s going okay for you in new york city yep i’m working on a new book uh what are you working on now oh my god you are so prolific i look on your amazon page just when i was getting ready to do this trying to think of some of those other titles Oh, my God. I’m working on a book about the Garment Center. Ah, interesting. Only because my family was involved in that business, and they had to deal with the mob in various ways, with trucking companies, unions, and so forth. And since I knew that, and I had a lot of information, a lot of contacts, I thought I would tackle that next. I remember when I had my marketing PR business back in the 1970s. [31:16] I had a client who was in the fitness business, and I had a cousin of my mother’s who was a very famous dress designer at the time, and he had a big showroom on 7th Avenue, which is in the garment center. I went to see him because I wanted to see if I could get a deal for my client to manufacture exercise clothes and brand it with her name. I made a date to have lunch with this cousin of mine, and he said, come up to my showroom. we’ll meet for lunch, And so I got to the showroom, and I called out his name when I walked in. It was empty. And this guy comes running out of the back, and he just has a shirt on, and he has a shoulder holster, .38 caliber gun in it. And he says to me, who the F are you? I said, I’m so-and-so’s cousin. I’m here to have lunch with him. He disappeared into the back. And a couple of minutes later my mother’s cousin comes out and i said who was that what was that about he says i don’t want to talk about it now i’ll tell you all for lunch so we go down to a restaurant around the corner and i asked him again and he says he said he couldn’t have his dresses delivered to any department store unless he made a deal with yeah i forgot if it was the gambinos or the lucasies that he had to take this guy on as a partner otherwise the trucks wouldn’t deliver his garments. And there was nothing he could do about it. It was either that or go out of business. [32:45] I’ll tell you what, they’re voracious. They’re greedy and voracious and don’t care. Just give me those, show me the money. That’s all it is. It’s all about money and any way to get it. And then there’s always a threat of murder behind it. If you don’t cooperate, think of the worst thing that can happen to you. And that’s what’ll happen. Yeah. I’ve had guys over the years tell I’m like, oh, you ought to throw in with one of those ex-mobsters that’s doing podcasts and try to do something with them. I say, I ain’t doing business with them. They play by their rules. I play by society’s rules. And I don’t have time to mess with that. Yeah. And that was a smart thing to do. Because also, when I had this fitness client, I met someone who was… I didn’t know what was connected to the mob, but a mutual friend, this guy said that he wanted to set up fitness centers all around the country for my clients. So I mentioned this to a mutual friend and he said, whatever you don’t go into business with this guy, I said, regret it for the rest of your life. So I advised my client not to do it. [33:49] Yeah. Cause initially before we knew that it sounded like a great opportunity. And then when you investigate, it’s not such a great opportunity. Yeah, really. Speaking of that, we tell stories for hours. I just heard a story. We had a relocated mobster, a guy that testified against Gigante, came here to Kansas City. And he was, of course, under witness protection and he’s got an assumed name. And he befriends a guy that has a fitness center. He has a franchise of Gold’s Gym or something. And he has a fitness center. And he talks this guy into taking him on, investing a little money in it, taking him on as his partner. Within the next couple of years, this mobster, he’s got two of his kids working there and neither one of them are really doing anything, but they’re drawing a salary and the money’s trickling out. And the guy, the local guy, he just walks away from it because this guy’s planned by the mob’s rules. So he just ended up walking away from it, did something else. So it’s do not go into business with these guys. No, never. Never. [34:48] Jeffrey Suspett, it’s a pleasure to have you back on the show. Thank you so much. It’s a pleasure to be with you again, Gary. It’s always a pleasure. Thank you very much.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins takes listeners deep into one of the most chilling and revealing moments in Chicago mob history—a secretive 1967 party for Mob stalwart, Fi Fi Buccieri. It was held at the legendary Edgewater Beach Hotel. What appeared to be a lavish celebration was, in reality, a tightly controlled gathering of roughly 300 mobsters, political figures, and underworld insiders. The occasion marked the 40th birthday of feared Chicago Outfit enforcer Fiore “Fifi” Buccieri, a man whose reputation for violence made him one of the most dangerous figures in the city. Despite not being invited, veteran journalist Bob Wiedrich managed to infiltrate the event, raising serious questions about security, secrecy, and the gathering’s true purpose. This was no ordinary party. Federal surveillance later revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had the room bugged, capturing disturbing conversations—including laughter and casual recollections of torture and murder by Buccieri and his associates. Central to this episode is Buccieri's alleged role in the brutal torture and murder of William “Action” Jackson, a crime that horrified even seasoned law-enforcement agents. These wiretap recordings provide rare insight into the mindset of mob enforcers and the normalization of extreme violence within the Chicago Outfit during the 1960s. The timing of the party was critical. Chicago boss Sam Giancana had recently been released from prison, and rumors swirled that major power moves were underway. Evidence suggests this birthday celebration doubled as a covert mob summit, where leadership issues, alliances, and strategic decisions were quietly discussed away from public view. This party was a who's who of the Chicago Outfit. Men like Mike Glitta, Teets Battalgia, Ceaser DiVarco, Ross Prio, Larry The Hood Bounaguidi, Irvin Weiner, Dominic DiBello, Wee Willie Messino, Joseph Cortino ( former chief of police in Forest Park and several others. You will learn how Anthony Accardo and his driver Jackie Cerone avoided the scene when the cops started taking pictures and writing down names. I also explore the role of the Santa Fe Saddle and Gun Club, an organization tied to questionable fundraising activities that blurred the lines between organized crime, business interests, and local politics. These raffles and social events weren't just about money—they were about influence, access, and control. Throughout the episode, I break down the cast of characters who attended this gathering: loan sharks, enforcers, racketeers, and political fixers. Their interconnected stories reveal a dense web of loyalty, fear, and ambition that defined the Chicago mob scene at its peak.   This episode uses the Edgewater Beach Hotel as more than a setting—it becomes a symbol of mob glamour masking ruthless criminal reality. It's a reminder of how deeply organized crime once penetrated American society, and why these stories continue to fascinate, disturb, and resonate today. 0:04 Chicago Mob Tales 1:39 Fifi Buccieri ‘s Infamy 3:19 Giancana’s Absence 4:22 The Santa Fe Saddle and Gun Club 5:36 Edgewater Beach Hotel 8:36 Police Intelligence Operation 12:22 The Notorious Players 16:02 Entertainment at the Banquet 18:54 Reflections on the Meeting Hit me up on Venmo for a cup of coffee or a shot and a beer @ganglandwire Click here to “buy me a cup of coffee” Subscribe to the website for weekly notifications about updates and other Mob information.

Transcript [0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there in gangland, wireland, [0:03] especially you guys up in Chicago. Yeah, I’ve done several stories on Chicago. I’m on a Chicago trip right now, I guess. I’m going to do one more with our friend, Mr. Cooley, Bob Cooley. We just haven’t set up a time yet, but I’m going to do one more with him for sure. But I’m going to keep some of these Chicago stories up. I got such a great reaction. You know, you guys, you know, like and share these, as they say, on the apps and on YouTube. But anyhow, let’s go back to March of 1967. [0:36] There was a real well-known reporter named Bob Wendrick at the time. He really covered the mob in Chicago. I mean, he might as well have been a member of the mob in Chicago. He was so close to so many people up there. And he had some really good sources and some inside tracks. And he went to a party, but he wasn’t invited to that party. You know, they never really were going to invite Bob Weindrich to a party. It was $25 a plate. There was about 300 outfit mobsters and their associates attended this party. Some of their political associates even. They called a chief of police and I think a mayor of a suburban city. It was at the Edgewater Hotel. It was sponsored by the Santa Fe Saddle and Gun Club. It was to honor the birthday of outfit enforcer, killer, and loan shark Fiore Fifi Bussieri. Fifi was a vicious killer, man. I mean, he was bad. Straight out of the Capone days. [1:36] And he was kind of best known in more modern times. It happened not too long before this party, I believe, or around this time, maybe right after. [1:48] He took part in the multi-day, I believe, three-day torture and murder of a bookie, a great big fat bookie named William Action Jackson. There’s some images, some pictures, a picture of him in his trunk was showing a lot of the torture that they did to him out there. I’ve seen it on the Internet. They kind of cut back on those pictures and try to keep those from getting circulated around on Facebook and some of the social media apps. I assume it’s still out there. Um, but anyhow, the Bureau had a, had a hidden microphone in a guy’s house, Jackie, the lackey Saron, who was, uh, uh, a Cardo’s driver at the time had a, had a hidden microphone in there and Jackie Saron and a couple others. And one of them was Fifi Sierra, Bussieri. I don’t remember who else it was. We’re laughing about Lacks and Jackson’s reactions to the cattle prod and some of the other gruesome details. [2:45] They thought he was talking to the hated FBI agent Bill Romer at the time, but in fact, he was not. He wasn’t talking to anybody. I did find one blurb where he was thought to be a child molester. So, you know, I don’t know. And I’m thinking it was a child of one of his girlfriends or something like that. I’m not sure. But anyhow, they tortured the heck out of him for about three days. Fifi came out of the 42 gang. If you remember, it was Alibaba and the 40 Thieves, so that meant there was 41 in Alibaba’s gang, and they wanted to have one more [3:17] than Alibaba, so they named themselves the 42 Gang. This party happened just as Sam Giancana was getting out of jail. [3:25] He didn’t attend, and he left for Mexico about that time to avoid further grand jury appearances. He’d been in jail about a year, I think, because they give him the old give you immunity and you have to testify. If you don’t, then they find you in contempt of court and send you to penitentiary or a jail for a year or so for the length of grand jury. And so he left town right after that and went down to Mexico for several years. Some speculate this meeting was really to get everybody together in one place and have some private meetings off the side without law enforcement really knowing what was going on, where Ricardo and Paul the Waiter Rica would name Joey Doves Iupa as the new boss in place of Gen Cona and make some other personnel shifts. You know, a few years later, when Giancana comes back, there’ll be a whole string of murders around the time he’s murdered because of some of his people that were always loyal to Giancana. [4:22] This Santa Fe Saddling Gun Club, anybody ever heard of that? I had not heard of this before. It was a registered club. The president was Joseph Scaramuza, who owned a gun store at Halstead & Taylor, which is, I believe that’s right down there in the middle of Mobland. There was an informant in the jfk files as i was researching scaramusa there was an informant that claimed that scaramusa knew jack ruby well and as they checked into scaramusa over that they found found that this halstead gun store that he owned had sold three pistols that were recovered after some puerto rican terrorists shot up the house of representative a few years before now you know what all that means i don’t know but uh and i remember that when i was a little kid these puerto Puerto Ricans, uh, now, uh, they tried to, they were trying to assassinate Harry Truman, who was staying out of the white house and the Blair house, uh, which is, I think maybe that’s where the vice president stays. Sometimes I’m not sure. Anyhow, he was not in the white house and they, they had a plan to assassinate him. They also went into the house of representatives and shot it up. They wanted complete freedom from the United States at the time. Now there’s not been any Puerto Rican freedom movement since that I know of. Anyhow, um. [5:36] The Edgewater Beach was a faded but once grand dom of hotels along Lake Michigan. They had their own beach for a while. Then something moved in between them and the beach. And it was about to declare bankruptcy. It was located a few guys that live in Chicago. It was 5555 North Sheridan. [5:56] And now members of the Chicago Police Intelligence Unit had found out about that themselves. It was like Weindrich had. Maybe they hip Weindrich to it. That all works, all that little undercover stuff. You have an employee at the Edgewater who knows somebody who knows somebody, and the work starts leaking out. When you have something this big, you have 300 people there, and it was really to make some money too, charged $25 a plate, and they did another little fundraiser. They’ve been selling raffle tickets all over Chicago and all, like down in northwestern Indiana. And in Indiana, anywhere that the outfit had some kind of influence and businesses that they could hold up. It’s like policemen. We used to go out and sell circus tickets. They were like $2 a ticket, but it wasn’t really for a ticket. It was like a support the police circus, which then gave a piece of the money to some police or widows and orphans fund. I don’t remember exactly. This is when I was brand new. and you were given like a handful of circus tickets and you’re supposed to go out to your local businessmen and sell them. Of course, they always bought them. All you had to do was go in and say, you know, I got some police tickets or circus tickets and they’d buy them. And they weren’t exactly even a ticket. They were a coupon and then they helped go buy a ticket. But, you know, that’s what they were doing, and that’s where they were. [7:23] Intelligence unit was milling around the hotel. They were, you know, I think what they were trying to do was waiting to see if the operators of this banquet, as this thing got going, if somebody actually, you know, drew, made a drawing or really raffled off a new car, which is what supposedly the raffle tickets were for, which would give them an excuse then to raid this place, saying it was an illegal lottery and then start really identifying the participants you know all of them that were there make them air everybody give you id and all that and then they had they were really loaded for bear they had 65 cops waiting close by it’s something called the foster avenue beach so it was it was a hell of an operation now the outfit during this time learned that the cops were going to be there and someone called Tony Accardo and Paula Guadarica, who were, you know, supposed to be there. They were like the headliners. They were the big ducks at that show. And really, if it was about having some meetings to realign personnel and name, maybe they’re going to have a making ceremony, but I doubt that. [8:30] But maybe they were going to name Joy Iupa as the new boss because he was the next boss. Somebody warned him not to come. And, of course, Jackie Lackey’s Roan didn’t show up either because he was a Cardo’s driver. [8:47] Cops, I’m going to tell you about some of the people the cops did find there and identify. Ross Prio, his north side loan shark and enforcer who had been Gen Conn’s second command and was reportedly consulted on all outfit murders. Now, Ross Prio, he’d been around. I can’t remember. I think he was out of the 42 gang himself. He had been around since the Capone days and a well-respected guy, had a lot of guys under him. And he was a bad dude. He was a bad actor. He was dangerous as hell and could take part in torturing the whole nine yards. They saw Irving Weiner there. He was a mob-connected bail bondsman. He was a guy who ended up a few years later walking with Alan Dorfman when somebody came up behind Dorfman and shot and killed him. Dorfman was their big guy in the Teamsters. Dorfman had helped him get those loans out of the Teamsters pension fund and loaned to people that wanted to buy Las Vegas casinos. Then everybody would get a kickback from those casinos. So he was integral. He was being investigated as an official of the Twin Cities. [9:54] Food products company and he had my he had partners felix milwaukee phil aldoricio and sam teach battaglia and marshall caifano i mean this guy is erb wiener he was he was a money man for the mob well known as a money man and and he was he was involved with with lombardo joe lombardo and tony splatter and some others and they got a loan for a guy named from the teamsters fund but for a guy named danny seifert they thought danny seifert had started a company with a lot of this money, and he was going to testify about how he got this Teamsters loan is my understanding. And I believe Lombardo and probably Frank Suisse showed up and killed him one day. He never spent a night in jail. Weiner never spent a night in jail. Go figure that. He’s kind of like, almost like Tony Accardo, huh? I saw a guy named Mike Glitta. He was an outfit member who had B-Girl bars, had these kind of hustling bars, and was involved, heavily involved in the porn business now. Um. [10:54] There was a lot of porn shops in Chicago, and Gletta was really, he was the guy on the porn shops. Chicago Crime Commission published something that said he supervised all pornography operations in an area that went from the near north side clear to the Wisconsin state line. So everything from, say, Rush Street on north was his. I guess he wasn’t down in, I think, Old Town is where Redwood met and some porn shops down there. and Frank Suisse was extorting money from some of them. Mob watchers claimed that Glitter always reported directly to Vincent Solano, who was a labor union leader and a capo, and the guy that probably had Tokyo Joe, Joe Ido killed. He was a racket boss on the north side and all the way up to the north suburbs. Identified a guy called Larry the Hood, who I’d seen that name before. It’s a really hard name to pronounce. was a Bonaguiti. [11:54] He was a mob wannabe at the time. As I researched into him, he was really just a wannabe. Hung around the Rush Street bars and he was associated with Mike Glitta. And he’ll eventually get an opportunity when Ross Prio dies and Mike Glitta has a heart attack and he moves on up real quick because he’s always in there around and he knows the porn business and the B-Girl bars on that near north side. And he’s the one that goes around and collects after after Glitter has a heart attack. [12:23] Another Northside vice boss named Joe Caesar Joseph DeVarco, he was dropped off by an underling driver. He came out of the 42 gang himself and is a well-known gangster on the Rush Street area. Dominic DiBello was a Northside gambling operator. He was seen with a friend of his and a fellow gambling operator named Bill Gold, or called Bill Gold. He had a longer name than that, and I don’t know him. If you guys make comments down below, if you know who this Bill Gold was and what the story was with him, he probably just ran a sports book or something or helped with the off-track betting outlets. And they arrived just before a guy named Joseph Cortino, according to the newspaper report. He was a former Forest Park chief of police. He was suspected of protecting gambling operations and leaking law enforcement information to the mob. A guy you hear mentioned, I’ve not really seen much on in detail, Willie Massino, and they called him Wee Willie because he was little, but he was supposedly really, really a bad character. [13:26] Here’s a guy when I believe it was Mario Raginone was invited to go on some kind of a crime, and he saw Willie Massino and somebody else in the area. And he said, uh-oh, if those guys are anywhere in the area where I am and they’ve got me kind of isolated like this, you know, going to do a crime so I’m not telling anybody where I’m going and what I’m doing and who I’m with, you know, they’re going to hit me. And he went in after that. That’s how feared Wee Willie Messino was. He had been a loan shark collector and enforcer for Tony Cardo and a guy named Joseph Gagliano, who I don’t know must have faded off into the woodwork by the 70s. 1970 he went to prison for kidnapping and beating a couple of contractors who owed money to the mob, George and Jack Chiagoris. [14:19] Sounds like they’re maybe Greek, huh? After he got out of the penitentiary, he went to work as an advisor with Marco D’Amico, who was, you know, remember Marco D’Amico had a gambling operation, and that’s who Bob Cooley worked with a lot. And he also did some work for Jackie Cerrone. [14:37] So Turk Torello, James Turk Torello, he was confronted by the cops as he was unloading sound equipment out of his, wherever his car. He yelled at him as they walked up. He said, hey, he said, I got machine guns in these boxes. You want to come and see? He was kind of a wise-ass, you know. He was a capo of the 26th Street crew and directly under Fifi Busseri. One time, he had been sent by an angry mob boss named Sam Giancana, who we all know, Mobo. And he was going to partner up with Jackie Cerrone to kill an outfit member named Frankie Esposito down in Florida. But the Bureau had recorded Giancana’s conversation and warned Esposito. and he came right back around. He didn’t help the Bureau. You know, you go out and you warn a guy and then you try to bring him in and make him a snitch or make him a cooperating witness in the end because they’re trying to kill him. They don’t all come in. And he ended up coming back to Chicago and settled his dispute with Giancana and that hit was canceled. According to the tape recordings, Torello and his killers were going to murder Esposito and cut him up in small pieces and feed him to the sharks off the Florida coast. You know, they had houses down in Florida. That’s where they, that was Jackie Cerrone’s Florida house where they overheard him and Fifi talking about the murdering and torturing Action Jackson. [16:03] Now, I mentioned bringing in the sound equipment. They had entertainment. Vic Dimone was the entertainment that night. Now, Vic Dimone has long-held connections to the Chicago outfit and I believe the Genovese family. I didn’t really go way in deep into him. I’ve got a bunch of notes. I’ll probably do a story just about Vic Dimone. [16:26] Maybe he was the character in The Singer and The Godfather, that kind of a blend of Frank Sinatra and Vic Dimone. As a singer in the Godfather movie. Guys named a couple brothers, Joseph and Donald Grieco, were there. Well, they had been in business with Vic Damone in the Vic Damone Frozen Pizza Company. Paul Rica and Fifi Boussieri had brought the famous singer Vic Damone into the outfits world and got him to lend his name to this frozen pizza business. And what they did, the Grieco brothers, They use it as a cover for their loan shark activities, but, you know, they sold pizzas, too, although I’ve never heard of. I don’t ever remember seeing a Vic DeMone frozen pizza. Vic DeMone had even taken his show to Giancana’s joint, the Armory. And if you’ve ever been by the Armory, it’s just like a neighborhood bar. A neighborhood joint is not a place. But Vic DeMone was big. You know, he would be playing Madison Square Garden maybe at the time or the big clubs, the Copacabana in New York. And they got him to bring his show out to. [17:33] Gincana’s Joint the Armory kind of like at his Villa Venice he got Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis to bring their show there and it was not exactly it was not the Copacabana they tried to make it into the Copacabana of Chicago but it never really got there another guy they saw was an outfit bookmaker and a tough guy out of Cicero who will get killed here in a little bit Sam Sambos Cesario Yeah. [17:59] He was a longtime workhorse. He’s well-liked throughout the whole Chicago underworld, but he made a mistake. He ended up marrying a girlfriend slash mistress, the Gomar of Milwaukee Field Aldericio, while he was in the penitentiary. Two guys showed up with this woman. He marries her. They’re sitting out in front of their house. It was like a brownstone. It was a hot summer night. They’re sitting out in lawn chairs out in front of their house, and two guys pull up and run up and kill him. They say Harry Ailman was the guy that did that. They call that. I’ve had some kickback on this when I said this one time before a few years ago. I didn’t really investigate into it. But, you know, the popular story is that it’s a hit from beyond the grave because Aldericio had already died in prison [18:50] between the time he gave that order and this actual murder. So that is a story of the big meeting at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago. [19:02] It wasn’t exactly like Appalachian or some of the other famous mob meetings, and it was just Chicago only. They didn’t identify that they named anybody from out of town at this thing. Seemed like it was a big moneymaker, maybe a meeting that you could hire some other little meetings in, get people in there that you didn’t really want to be seen with in public. This article, they talked about other politicians and businessmen that were there, but they didn’t really name them. I guess they didn’t want to get sued or whatever, but it was a, it was definitely, it was a fundraiser. He charged 25 bucks a plate and then have that, uh, that lottery for that car. And, and, you know, they never gave that car to anybody. And you know how much money you can raise with, with, you got, you know, a hundred guys or so going out, mob guys going out and raising money, selling lottery tickets at five bucks, 10 bucks each. You can raise a lot of money like that. So maybe it’s just one more big Chicago scam and honored Fifi Boussieri at the time. I don’t know. But anyhow, thanks a lot, guys. I thought it was an interesting story, and I thought you would find it interesting. And some of the people that they named that were there, I wish I’d have been there, but writing down license numbers and taking pictures and all that stuff. So keep coming back. Like and subscribe, as they say. And we’re just going to keep doing this and doing this. [20:24] I’ve gotten some you know I’ve got some things up that are like non-fiction books that are based on mob stuff, I don’t know if that’s okay or not, but I kind of like mixing that up. There’s only so many mob stories out there. You know, I don’t want a lot of these that have already been told. I don’t remember seeing any. I kind of looked around in the other podcast having this story. So I try to find them. You know, give me any tips, your comments that you can. I’ll try to look it up. And if I can find enough information, I’ll do the story on it. So thanks a lot. And adieu to you guys out in Chicago. I bet it’s colder up there than it is down here. Thanks, guys.
