Documentary About Women of the Mafia Slated
In 2015, one of the best documentaries about the American Mafia in years ran on television. It aired in the U.K. and was never seen on television in this country, though it's available online. (It is truly baffling that the best modern American Mafia documentaries are no longer being made in America.) ToniMarie Ricci, formerly married to Mikie Scars, descends from mob royalty. Now the same group out of Britain is airing a follow-up to the 2015 show. The new program, two hourlong episodes, is called Mafia Women with Trevor McDonald, which is slated to debut on February 16 of this year. This time, Trevor McDonald interviews the wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters of members of the Mafia. Among the women appearing on the show are ToniMarie Ricci , ex-wife of Michael DiLeonardo, aka Mikie Scars, former Gambino capo , and Linda Scarpa, Gregory Scarpa Senior's daughter .
