Hey Fabien, finally got round to reading your latest one on the Corsicans, nice article brother. The Corsican traffickers have always been interesting to me but not something I’ve ever really looked at deeply. That was an excellent read. Awesome, thanks for the feedback and thanks for reading it ! ...

I was about to cited you Ménard but antimafia was faster than me. In Australia, Damian Marrett and Colin McLaren of the Victoria Police infiltrated the local 'ndrangheta during the 90s. They both wrote books about their missions I was just thinking of this one, Fab. You know, Marrett had actually d...

lol, Angelo if you read this, no you weren't crazy ;) Actually I don't believe that Addio has been translated into English, but an author named Tim Shawcross took the main lines of the book to make one (I haven't read it so no idea if it's good or not but that's it seems to be that). Here we had a t...

Yep, I know the document you mean. I will find it when I have time but it was Angelo Bruno recorded saying that Ida wanted to create a decina of the Philadelphia Family in Calabria as he had some young men there he wanted to recruit. However Bruno said Ida would have to get permission from the Sici...

Where can I access Gentile’s memoirs? The book hasn't been translated into English, but if you speak or understand Italian, you can sometimes find it on sites like eBay (it took me years, but I managed to find it last year last, and yet I live near Italy) Articles on Gentile's book have been transl...

Very late response, but it seems that according to the FBN Sam Maugeri was born December 16, 1897 in Catania and not September 13, 1892 in San Giorgio Morgeto. Was the FBN wrong? I think we were talking about different people. LCNBios article on Steve Trifiro mentions a possible SF Member Salvatore...

Vic Cotroni in Montreal, capo circa 1960 until his death in 1984. Even if for around ten years he took a back seat, that's almost 24 years at the head of a decina Didn't Massino testify that Sciascia was captain of that decina by 1981? I recall him saying Sciascia was among the captains who voted t...

You're welcome, glad you like the articles/interview or/and find it useful guys. Very cool stuff here. Regarding Mondoloni *theoretically* being made. As we know, the Corsicans are ethnically an Italian people and thus it is certainly possible that they would not be viewed the same by mafiosi as eth...

Some thoughts on the establishment of Cosa Nostra in Marseille: -I talk about it relatively often, but during these investigations in Marseille in 1986, Judge Falcone told to his French counterpart Michel Debacq that he considered Paul Mondoloni as the or at least one of the representatives of Cosa ...

Between 1988 and 1989, the magazine "Le Nouvel Observateur" published several articles on the French side of the "Pizza Connection". At the time the trial for the assassination of Judge Pierre Michel was opening, and that on the "French Sicilian Connection" had just end...
