double deal podcast

I'm starting to get into the "real life The Departed" again. Was obsessed with it 20 years ago. Do they cover Paul Rico any in the Double Deal podcast? That guy is one of the scariest people I've ever heard about in the history of the mob.

Even when he was still considered a "good guy", there was something sinister and off about him. Like in his testimony here: https://www.c-span.org/video/?8402-1/ju ... ment-trial

Yes the double deal podcast covers Paul Rico in their podcast. here are the episodes that cover his career and involvement in Boston's organized crime. https://www.doubledealpodcast.com/category/h-paul-rico/ I think that he, Morris and Connolly were among the worst agents in FBI's history.

Thanks, this is perfect. Morris and Connolly were bad enough but Rico was a full-on gangster in his own right.

I agree with you about Rico. Weren’t the Flemmi brothers, Barboza and Buddy McLean among his favourite informants which says it all about the man. Double Deal also makes the case that Howie Winter was an informant too. I’m not sure about that though.

Yeah he was basically a member of the Winter Hill Gang who happened to be an FBI agent.
