Pogo
Can you point me to a thread where I can read more into either of these? The name from 2000's is slipping my tongue, but the 2010's I don't remember hearing about.

Yeah it’s in my article on the NCA Bombing. Sorry, they went by the name’s Jack and Jimmy (Jack was of Māori descent, originally from New Zealand, and Jimmy was from an Irish descent), there was also an Italian-Australian officer involved in the operation that posed as a business man from Melbourne named Vincent Morabito. The operation was run by Detective Sergeant Colin Winchester, fresh on the back of his work on Operation Afghan.

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 done some work with buy/busts in Mildura and actually caught Matty Medici out through a guy named Patty Condro.

Also, two SAPOL officers spent a year undercover getting close to Dom the Bomber Perre. Ray and Mike, I think they went by. Their actual name’s haven’t been released.
I didn't know this story with Perre, thanks

Funny that you mention it because yesterday I received the book Undercover by Damian Marrett

Garcia has gone undercover in a bunch of FBI operations targeting cartels apparently. Playing some role in the operation. But I’m not aware of anything to the extent of his Gambino operation.

I read about a Colombian cartel sting operation where he played an undercover role towards the end when it was almost time to make the arrests.

Didn't Garcia infiltrate a Cartel as well as LCN?

1. Robert Ménard, Sergeant-Detective, Major Crimes Unit, Service de police de Montréal / Service de police de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal (SPCUM)
He got Paolo Violi to rent him a flat above the Reggio Bar. Starting in December 1970, Ménard lived in the apartment for six years.

2. Giovanni Persichetti, Constable, RCMP
In 1985, he was initiated into an 'ndrangheta cell in London, Ontario, Canada. A total of three separate ceremonies were captured on police videotape.

3. Carl MacLeod, Staff-Sergeant, RCMP
The subject of the book A Master of Deception: Working Undercover for the RCMP. Infiltrated the mafia in Ontario, Colombian drug cartels, and triads.

There are a number of infiltrating cops whose names we may or will never know.
Infiltrating the cartels for the past 20 years sounds more scary and more reasons to be fearful then the current Italian organized crime element imo. Giovannis Rings for example, add up all the crimes in that book, it's not even remotely close to a week of living a secret life in the cartel, most likely.
Yea fuck that no amount of money would be worth it to go undercover in a cartel. Make one wrong move and those guys will probably eat your dick.

He was setting up guys on the Pizza Connection case right? I remember an old documentary with him talking about it.
Correct.

I'm on the Mob Museum Advisory Council with Frank, Giovanni Rocco, and some other undercover LEOs from DEA, FBI, and other law enforcement agencies. Their stories are unbelievable.
I wish I remembered that documentary name. It had surveillance video of him doing a heroin deal at a cafe. I think it was in a brown paper bag iirc...
