This one is full of sh*t. Beginning with Quebec which was chosen because the provincial government, the courts, the police and society in general was, and is, corrupt at every level. Bonnano sent Galante north to exploit that criminal sociopathy. Carlo Tresca was an effective critic of Mussolini. Vito Genovese was a huge friend of El Duce and had Tresca killed as a favour. It shouldn't surprise anyone the Mafia are traitors to their very core. The FBI had nothing to do with drug investigations. I noticed the doc got in a brief pitch for the FBI right off the top, then back tracked. It was the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN), now the DRUG Enforcement Agency (DEA), that tracked Galante and compiled the best intelligence on the Mafia. The FBN offered Hoover their "Black Book" on the Mafia and were refused. Hoover is, and will always be an assh*le.

Galante was gunned down in a cafe and police photos of the murder scene showed him bleeding with a cigar still clinched in his mouth.(the photo is blurry here). He sold narcotics contrary to the 5 Families edict of No Narcotics Dealing. See Selwyn Raab, "Five Families". The families basically closed their eyes to drug trafficking despite the Sicilians and Corsicans making deals with US mafiosa due to the billions in profits it made their organizations. In the 80's Columbian cartels moved in and took over narcotics trade.
I was 12 years old when Galante was gunned down. The pictures of Galante's dead body were crisp, up close and personally plastered on the front page of the NY Post and NY Daily News for days. My stepfather worked for the TA and would bring the paper home after work. Those images haunted me all summer and I couldn't sleep for weeks, thinking of those newspapers stacked neatly underneath the planter in the dining room, waiting to get me if I dared go downstairs in the middle of the night. Edit: I just Googled the pics and they're there. But wait, I'm 59 now, I should be able to sleep, right? .....ughh😩
Well then your judgement skills are an embarrassment, bud. Joe Coffey is a melodramatic hypocrite with the IQ of a rusted f-ing tire iron. He's a cartoonish joke who's methods and character are a stain on the reputation of deserving colleagues.
In 1979 I was a 5 year old kid living in Bushwick Brooklyn yet on the dark side of Bushwick. Troutman & Knickerbocker where Carmine Galante was shot at is the light side of Bushwick. Even dough we was many blocks from where carmine galante was killed at, I can remember clearly my parents talking about it…I went there the other day where Carmine got shot at & the store still remains closed till this day
Carmine Galante's rise and fall is a chilling reminder of the poison that ambition can become when untethered from morality. His story reads like a modern Shakespearean tragedy - a man of ruthless cunning who clawed his way to the top, only to be betrayed by the very forces he set in motion. The image of Galante, cigar still clenched between his teeth as he lay slain, is a haunting metaphor for the fleeting nature of power built on fear and greed. What strikes me most is the devastating human cost of Galante's empire. Each kilo of heroin represented countless shattered lives, families torn apart, and communities ravaged. Yet in his pursuit of wealth and control, Galante saw only dollar signs and opportunities for dominance. His legacy points to a profound truth: true power lies not in domination, but in our capacity for compassion and our courage to choose a path of integrity, even when it's the harder road.

Was he buried with the cigar still in his mouth ? Men of honour ? Rubbish; they were killers and ruined the lives of many, especially Sicilians. My mother never got over the fear and suspician she had, as a young girl, from having lived in Caltanisetta, next to Corleone.

I grew up just blocks and a short NYC 🗽 walk from where this hit took place in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. I was way too young to remember or even notice this hit as I was only 6 and our parents did a great job of shielding us from this type of news as not to prematurely snuff out mine and my two younger brother’s innocence. And we thank them for this. I only found out later that my neighborhood was a Bonano family stronghold.

Let me tell you how much money Galante s smuggling was . 650 kilos a year. 1 kilo gets stomped on until it’s 8 kilos 8000 grams at 100 per gram that’s 8 that’s 520 million dollars a year and he didn’t share the wealth. He could have bought his way to the top.
He was at the top he was under boss he made the mistake of letting his top men sort the details once they know that you can cut him out and make deals with the other families and everyone eats and he has to go
Can’t believe some idiots are complaining about the guy playing galante ,doesn’t matter who plays him, don’t see no one complaining about who plays Jesus Christ.
What a hit. I have the pic of Carmine sprawled out, it's on my living room wall. So who was it? Ceasre, Baldo and Anthony Indelicato?? It's like, who blasted Albert Anastasia? To this day, not sure we know.
The injustice of this case is overwhelming. No one should have to endure what the victim went through. My heart aches for their family, who are left to navigate a world without their loved one. I hope they find peace and justice in time.
Sent all that poison to Harlem! Where the down despondent hopeless vulnerable humans were? Making them rich. It's said in the Godfather at the meeting Micheal C. took over.😢
Thank you for blurring out the gory scenes. We, as Americans, do need need to view such violence. It gives us insomnia, upset stomach, and constipation. Keep up the good blurring and thank you again.
Exactly. Please censor things that may hurt your feelings 😅 show the liberal kamala/Biden stuff like for example their support 4 destruction of Palestinian children
This really really gets my goat. It was very common knowledge that poor Carmine was simply growing tomatoes. And then some peppers green onions. Very well known but they kept hounding the poor fellow.
These are really good. The narration is top notch. Good job.
Absolutely❗️
If he had embraced his fellow Bosses and shared the vast profits he could have lived but greed can be deadly 💀
Colin Tierney voice narration makes it even better ❤
music makes it worse

Take two aspirins and call someone in the morning.
interesting that you blur the body of Galante while the New York Daily News plastered in on the front page when it happened
Quit blurring photos. When this occurs it diminishes an otherwise excellent documentary.
RUclips guidelines, bro. It sucks but it is what it is.
@@freetheworld2671I’ve seen that photo of Galante on other RUclips videos clear as day.
Technically the photos are still online, I've seen it years ago, so I already know what it looked like.
Quit not knowing how RUclips works.

"So Carmine's gone?"
Pesci saw him go.
"He left?"😂😂😂

I was 20 waaay down in Baltimore and it was all over the papers here. Now I remember it being hot because I would visit my three uncles in NY.

Without Tony Soprano he's a zero with shoes
He's got tremendous moxie for his size!
Casting is not great for this one. You are telling me you could not find a closer looking actor to play Galante??
The actor playing carmine looks more like Gambino
He looks like a toothless bum.
Just when Gallante is lighting a cigar. That's below the belt.
Hello from Montreal!

Are you kidding me!!?
You couldn't find a better, more realistic character to play Carmine Galante! Where did you find this guy; on SKIDROW?!!!

Too many adverts!

The fact that the Gambinos managed to turn the pizza industry into a racket makes me laugh for some reason

Well said
Galante was nuts, it was not about ambition, he was insane
For someone that has a brain like a 14 year old he is pretty smart. But greed destroyed most people.
Colm tierney voice sounds the same as Anthony Hopkins.
Thanks so much for this great account, knowledgeable people telling us how it was and a really interesting documentary, well done!
If greed wasn't so bad, they coulda sold it for $10 instead of $100 and avoided the problems.
I was on the stand home between Nickelback and Wilson at this very moment.
I don't have a clue what you're talking about but I'm giving you a like simply bc u namedropped Nickelback in a mafia documentary lol

If I want to view censored images I'll go back to kindergarten. Adults watch these videos for God's sake!
RUclips demonetizes them otherwise. Their rules.
The actor playing Carmine Galante looks more like Charlie Callas!
The French Connection was replaced by the Cartel Connection

You're talking street level sales, so there are many people between Carmine and the street.
Selfishness and greed.

Blurred photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF!!!!!!!

The Cigar
The famous "French Connection" case is what exposed this connection.
Michael Baden looked right out of med. school. Dudes been old forever.
#2 Roy Cohn was Galante's lawyer and Donald Trump's mentor.
im actually related to him through my mothers father the galantes also its galant E like t shirt
Can’t believe some idiots are complaining about the guy playing galante ,doesn’t matter who plays him, don’t see no one complaining about who plays Jesus Christ.
Deep French connection of Babania 😮
Why are images which were Front Page Headlines and this show has already been on broadcast TV UNCENSORED!
His greed brings to mind most people today as long as they get more money they don't care
Galante the former assassin still had the cigar in his mouth after they whacked him Lol🤪
Staged photo
@bazjr86 the cops planted it.
Blurred pixels=zero
It’s back
Damn that “ black man test “ was messed up 😢
What a hit. I have the pic of Carmine sprawled out, it's on my living room wall. So who was it? Ceasre, Baldo and Anthony Indelicato??
It's like, who blasted Albert Anastasia? To this day, not sure we know.
"He was never indicted due to a lack of witnesses." Hmmm, I wonder what happened to them, did they just happen to "disappear"?
The 'Black man test'. Yeah, right.
Failing to mention cotroni from Montreal and that he is godfather to cotroni’s child
Did that "law" come through Congress? it's Congress that makes law not agencies.
The assassin of this hits calling card was one shot in the eye while he was killed with different caliber weapons!.
The injustice of this case is overwhelming. No one should have to endure what the victim went through. My heart aches for their family, who are left to navigate a world without their loved one. I hope they find peace and justice in time.
"It went out across the world." and blurred out by RUclips. Congrats on your ridiculous guidelines! 👏🤪
A good documentary, but some of the music was awful.
Also a movie about Frank Abbandando.
Pics of the shot and killed cigar were blurred out, thumbs down
Anyone know the background music?
Would have been better if a wizened old-age pensioner wasn't used to play Galante
He would have been a better boston than the one they had at the time
Never trust a Zip....
This video is at least 5 years old
It's about 20 years old.
Yeahh! none of those like...fake crimes.
Douglas Street
Cool documentary but the music is awful
The dollars it's always the dollars
Carmine was on that H-Train baby!!! 🐎
What’s it to ya?
Trump and Galante had the same attorney, weird, huh?
Sure helps explain why the Trump Organization is run like a crime family.
Not really. Cohn was the biggest and most well known attorney in NYC. Everyone who was anyone used him.
Another win for prohibition.
