Former Bonanno underboss from days of Donnie Brasco was arrested not too long ago. We don't get it... Is it really just a coincidence that the mob -- specifically, a Bonanno associate -- robbed and whacked a guy with the same name as a well-known undercover agent for the FBI who infiltrated the same crime family using the famous alias of Donnie Brasco in the late 1970s ?

"Neil Messina, 52, found out Friday that Federal Judge Kiyo Matsumoto may have gone easy on some Mafia oldfellas, but is more than ready to severely punish violent mobsters.

Reviews are starting to pop up all over the Internet regarding " Rob the Mob ," a film about the Uvas, a married couple who made the foolhardy, fatal decision to make quick cash by robbing Mafia social clubs in Little Italy, Queens and Brooklyn. Their crime spree ran from the summer of 1992 to the day of Christmas Eve 1992, when the two were killed. Shot in the head, each, by the Mafia.

The researchers never heard of Tommy Karate Pitera, no doubt. DiscoverMagazine.com  asked:  Are The Mafia Psychopaths? And the survey says: Mafiosi showed lower psychopathic traits than other criminals. (They obviously never heard of  Tommy Karate Pitera , or even  this guy , both of whom kept souvenirs, I might add... (I know, but we could spend hours listing every psycho in the American Mafia...))

Silvio Berlusconi Mobster informant points to Berlusconi, Dell'Utri - ANSA English - ANSA.it : "A mobster-turned-informant told prosecutors in a deposition Thursday that three-time premier Silvio Berlusconi and former Senator Marcello Dell'Utri were credited with "putting the country in the hands" of the Mafia by a notorious Sicilian boss. From a jail in Rome, Gaspare Spatuzza recalled a conversation in 1994 with Cosa Nostra boss Giuseppe Graviano. "He said, 'I told you that things would turn out all right'. Then he said the name Berlusconi, and added that our paesano Dell'Ultri was also involved, and thanks to them we had the country in our hands". Dell'Utri is appealing to the supreme Court of Cassation a seven-year sentence imposed in March by a Palermo court that convicted him of Mafia association."

REVISED, EXPANDED: Sandra Lansky has written a 229-page memoir, Daughter of the King: Growing Up in Gangland , which she describes as an expression of the deep love she held for her father, Meyer Lansky. Born Meyer Suchowljansky (July 4, 1902 – January 15, 1983), Lansky was a major organized crime figure who worked closely with associates such as "Joe Adonis" and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, though he was closest to Charles "Lucky" Luciano, both as a friend and business partner.

R Frank Cullotta, 1970s? Sky Valley Chronicle Washington State News : "So what's Frank Cullotta doing these days in his golden years?

Cullotta gave the BBC Radio 5 show an interview about his new job that you can listen to here . Gotta say, I wasn't impressed with the broadcaster; his questions, for the most part, were repetitive. Seems like he wasn't listening to Cullotta, just asking fabricated questions.

That's sheer nonsense... Reality TV star Natalie Guercio was punched in the face by a bouncer at Delilah's Gentleman's Club last Thursday when she was judging the Entertainment of the Year event Police arrived and took down a report; Natalie ended up in the emergency room sporting a battered face. Natalie did not press charges.

Frank Cullotta I am interviewing a former Outfit guy at an undisclosed location at an undisclosed time and day... Well, not really -- I am interviewing him, just don't know when exactly. By phone...
