Help with Transcription and Translation

Post by aleksandrored »

Good night fellas, I want to translate this interview with Meyer Lansky in 1971, as many know I live in Brazil and my English is not perfect, I downloaded the automatic captions from youtube, but in this transcript there are several errors, I would like someone that I understand better of the language could see what errors do not fit the video, because the text in English "perfect" I can translate to my language.

Thank you in advance if anyone can help me.
