Loveee I mean loveeee this documentaries… love the narrator and how they have so many facts about the the Italian mafia.. I can’t watch enough of them even though I have so much knowledge about the Italian mafia from watching so much and reading so much about it before this documentaries..
_* Excellent presentation! The way the information is broken down makes it accessible to everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge on the subject. *_ 😋
They only tell you what the want You to know . One sidex they Paint a piclure of whay they want to tell You . Can you belive that a cold Blooded killer can be the best warm loving Husban and Father ?! The cia is full of them . Law Department . Congress .
Never seen this before.......What an eye-opener ? The footage of him Testifying was breathtaking and the way he stays calm while knowing he's a marked man really gives you an insight into the life ?
I remember being in transit at La Tuna F.C.I. (federal prison) in 1980. While on the little rec yard the "Valachi suite" was visible. Apparently it was a special little area for him.
Did they use Lead pipe in construction for drinking water? I think old days they were using lead pipes. Now, I know why criminal are stupid and never learn.
So you destroy an entire organization, thats been around for centuries and you were a member of in exchange for a life sentence instead of the death penalty? Wow, what a deal
A made man is an important individual your darn straight he knew about the mob structure but Genovese was a powerful mafia boss who could order anyone killed.
Wasn't Valachi with Maranzano or with them,(Maranzano/Bonnano's) during the Castellammarese War before being Transferred over to the Luciano/Genovese Borgata(?).
For the time 💯, Sammy was higher ranking this opening the door to exposing high tier scams & Higher levels of Influence, Valachi Exposed the Mob(Positions,Ppl in those Positions,Families etc, Sammy dealt a decisive Blow to a Already wounded Mob after Giuliani Mob Commission Trail.
Valachi was the perfect FBI front, a lot of what he testified to he had no knowledge of, but the FBI did. However, the way the info was acquired made it inadmissible in court.
This is a compelling history but I’m beyond perplexed by one detail, that the term la cosa nostra was some big revelation for the FBI when the Italian “mafia” had gone by that name for a couple of centuries by this time.
I’m thinking that Valachi felt betrayed by the family. That kiss of death was a sign he was doomed. He was so paranoid he killed a civilian in prison. He had nothing to lose a $100000 price on his head a murder charge ,,,, nothing more to lose. Revenge may be small recompense.
but i have a idea though, just for fathers day special, ive been eyeing up this old bar in newton falls thats for sale, the old fanaticts bar what u say we buy it. love u
Geez Brian...I'm not far from there. You'd be lucky to get three customers a night...and they'd have to park in the neighbor's driveway. Buy it, level it, and sell it as a vacant lot.
Very well-told story! ... However the [1972] movie (or perhaps, docudrama), *The Valachi Papers* (albeit, having seen it but once, years ago), is rather less-compelling (if not downright boring). I particularly liked and enjoyed the [more convincing] performance of the actor who portrayed Valachi here (rather than of Charles Bronson's _very_ dry performance in the film). Should anyone here happen to know of the actor's name ... well, let's just say all I can offer is: _" ... Lemmee make ya an offa' you canna' refuse ... Or else ya can fa'get about it!"_ ... Thanks in advance!
How much is the life of a human being worth? These people don’t look at it as valuable. It is all about sociopathy, narcissism, and egotism. But redemption is possible to whomever hears the word of God and receives it.
How can they be positive it was the wrong man and it wasn't self defense if they don't even know why that inmate was approaching him ? 2 things for certain joe valachi didn't know him and he was unmistakenly coming towards him so wtf ?
Valachi mistook him for someone else and freaked out as he was understandably paranoid that he was going to be killed at any time. So he made a grave mistake. If you're sitting vulnerable under the very real threat of being murdered, it makes why one would react that way. The guy was likely just walking toward his direction while minding his own business since it is a prison yard, after all.
@@citypopradioFM i humbly disagree my friend because there's minding your business and then there's thinking you were about to be killed he said he was coming straight towards him ..
I don't understand why Robert Kennedy didn't just ask his ex gangster father Joseph Kennedy about the structure of the mob, after all good ol Joe was at one time in cahoots with Al Capone.
Kennedy sr was just an associate businessman. He had about as much info as the FBI have. By the time the American mafia was form, he was already legit.
Yea and died In prison after he was beaten up and hated by inmates Don't know why people think gotta was cool,he also main reason mafia died out. Had he not been so flashy
I believe Valachi was the one who did the captions! There is no honor among thieves. I really enjoyed the video , but the music ? I could barely hear 👂 the commentator, had to turn on the captions to see what he was saying! I believe the captions were done by a two year old! Maybe Valachi lol
Life can be hell for a snitch cos history the past and people of the past always repeat, life isn't worth living if your a snitch, you will never be free ever again looking over your shoulder everday not a good life.
La mafia c’est une chose la politique c’est une chose la police c’est une chose la justice c’est une chose le journal c’est autres chose avec dieu c’est une chose chaque chose à sa place chaque place a sa chose
Id say jay edgar hoover just loved this guy..😂😂 he was soon gonna have to admit there wasa mafia..and with that hoover had nothing to bargain with about his hidden lifestyle..
Quite hard to understand the fascination we have for the MOB or gangster life when all they did and do is snitch on each kill each other and steal from each other. A gun and the ability to shoot doesn’t make you intelligent
6:50 that’s the music from ‘monster BUG wars’ - is there that little talent left or are directors trying to save SO MUCH MONEY that they rehash musical themes from other shows- that’s SOME disgusting 💩
Loveee I mean loveeee this documentaries… love the narrator and how they have so many facts about the the Italian mafia.. I can’t watch enough of them even though I have so much knowledge about the Italian mafia from watching so much and reading so much about it before this documentaries..
Good stuff! I watch a lot of this kind of documentaries...and I'm impressed!!

The Valachi tapes starring Charles Bronson was awesome 👌
I remember being in transit at La Tuna F.C.I. (federal prison) in 1980. While on the little rec yard the "Valachi suite" was visible. Apparently it was a special little area for him.
Why is there a lead pipe laying around the prison yard?
They said there was construction work at the prison. No doubt, some con found and hid it.
Prisons weren’t as secure or well maintained in those days.
Bulshiggity
Did they use Lead pipe in construction for drinking water? I think old days they were using lead pipes. Now, I know why criminal are stupid and never learn.
Prison guards thought that pipe was dirty and unpleasant to touch. Also you couldn't stab somebody with lead pipe.
why is this video 10x louder than others on youtube??
Old TV standard audio balance
To keep the viewers from falling asleep😔
So you destroy an entire organization, thats been around for centuries and you were a member of in exchange for a life sentence instead of the death penalty? Wow, what a deal
Right, what a great negotiater, you give the feds. Everything they need to destroy the mafia and you didn't get a isolated island somewhere.
In PC no less
Where was he to go even if he was released. His was already condemned and he was merely postponing his death.
Good for him, UA-cam gangsters are my favorite.
A huge deal if you don't want to die.
Also demonstrates the advantages of capital punishment.
Wow they brought him to fort Monmouth??!! I live right next to fort Monmouth. Small world!!
Fascinating coincidence.
Quality show ❤❤❤
Very well put together documentary
Code of silence?? All they do is snitch on each other😂😂😂A criminal is not going to prison for life to protect some boss in a big house
Right. No honor among thieves
Code of co-operation!
Well, it has happened. Alot. Snitches aren't as common historically as you think
This snitch gave us insight to a secret society even J Edgar Hoover didn't admit existed.
Makes sense. But the pyramid structure allows it to thrive still...
A made man is an important individual your darn straight he knew about the mob structure but Genovese was a powerful mafia boss who could order anyone killed.
Wasn't Valachi with Maranzano or with them,(Maranzano/Bonnano's) during the Castellammarese War before being Transferred over to the Luciano/Genovese Borgata(?).
La prononciation n'est pas Valachi
Mais Valakie.
En italien, le CH se prononce comme un K.
Shut up
thank you for this one! it's the only one missing my language (german)
He must have been a threat to the higher authorities who are always involved in organised crime and investigate each other
I recommend the movie Valachi Papers. Thumbs up if you seen it or looked it up
BRONSON 👍
Heard of it, Never seen it
It's only a matter of degree between the government and the mob.
Well said 👏
Very good documentary.
Thought the thumbnail was Phil Leotardo and he was going to tell us about his 20 years in the can
I thought it was the Shah of Iran
Really I always wondered how long it was that phil stayed in the can
It was but he compromised
If you did 20 years would you care?
He knew how to cook a grill cheese sandwich on a radiator. 😊
He was a bigger snitch than Sammy the bull 😂
Sammy put almost 40 guys in prison. Valachi didn't even do that lol.
@@citypopradioFM Right. Whereas i am french
For the time 💯, Sammy was higher ranking this opening the door to exposing high tier scams & Higher levels of Influence, Valachi Exposed the Mob(Positions,Ppl in those Positions,Families etc, Sammy dealt a decisive Blow to a Already wounded Mob after Giuliani Mob Commission Trail.
Valachi was the perfect FBI front, a lot of what he testified to he had no knowledge of, but the FBI did. However, the way the info was acquired made it inadmissible in court.
Love this episode
I Thought We Were Getting A Trailer About Phil Doing His 20 Years.
I REMEMBER THIS ERA, ARE ANY STILL AROUNT???
It was really wise of Vito to give Valachy kiss of death. Before that intercourse Valachy kept silent.
This is a compelling history but I’m beyond perplexed by one detail, that the term la cosa nostra was some big revelation for the FBI when the Italian “mafia” had gone by that name for a couple of centuries by this time.
How do you feel about the rumors of a bomb in the room "I've been hot from the beginning, it doesn't make any difference"
I’m thinking that Valachi felt betrayed by the family. That kiss of death was a sign he was doomed. He was so paranoid he killed a civilian in prison. He had nothing to lose a $100000 price on his head a murder charge ,,,, nothing more to lose. Revenge may be small recompense.
Agreed!
They could have put him in another prison. It’s not like we don’t have an extra!
The "ch" in Valachi is pronounced like "k".
In Italian it would be
@@jamesgreenldnit is italian . Lol 😆
your absolutely not going out today. wow,, fantastic
Could Jim Lampley please explain the difference between speed and quickness. .. ?
If I didn't know he was a mafia killer, he would seem like a harmless old chap to me at first look and the calm way he talks...
but i have a idea though, just for fathers day special, ive been eyeing up this old bar in newton falls thats for sale, the old fanaticts bar what u say we buy it. love u
Geez Brian...I'm not far from there. You'd be lucky to get three customers a night...and they'd have to park in the neighbor's driveway. Buy it, level it, and sell it as a vacant lot.
Great documentaries but they need to normalise the audio
sometimes when i look around i see the police and "justice" system as way worse than any mafiosi..
Très bon reportage super
For a split second I thought this was music. Maffia’s greatest hits 😂
They made music with instruments carried in violin cases.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That would be a bunch of rats singing to save their own asses.(Freaking snitch trash). Kind of like Alvin and the Chipmunks
As a Irish man I think this is B.S big enquiries about stuff the dogs on the streets know.☘️
Read the book. The Valachi Papers.
Been trying to get hold of a copy for years. I remember seeing it in shops back in the 70s
If you were planning to kill a man who was more than capable of killing you. Would you tell him that you intended to kill him😅
I think it's pronounced
Vellarki😅
No

Turn Off the Music you don’t need it
"God father of Harlem.."...a tv series relating to this documentary
Great one
@falamangaa7222: yeah, like Fords relate to GM. Bumpy Johnson threw all the Italians out of Harlem or killed them, no questions asked or given!!
I don't understand why Robert Kennedy didn't just ask his ex gangster father Joseph Kennedy about the structure of the mob, after all good ol Joe was at one time in cahoots with Al Capone.

Look At John Gotti He Was La Costra Nostra Until The End.
Naw lol he was ratting on Sammy so Sammy ratted too.. gotta do a lil research
He had no choice, play the part
Yes sure😊
Yea and died In prison after he was beaten up and hated by inmates
Don't know why people think gotta was cool,he also main reason mafia died out. Had he not been so flashy
Lol Gotti ratted on himself
Our thing? No, it’s this thing of ours…
That's why Sammy says "Our thing?"
what is that music at the beginning of the clip?
Those who call Sammy Gravano "the biggest rat in mob history" should watch this documentary.
Gravano takes a solid second place trophy, though.
a fair amount of dubious reality . Fairly impossible that by the time he was sent to Sing sing he was not already aware of the Mafia .
Huh? He had been a member of over thirty years and you think he has limited knowledge?
@@grf15
that's what I am saying .
How much does a channel with over 4 million subscribers make in the world of you tube?
From my neighbors and friends. We never ever ever snitch and RAT no way ☝️👌🌼
Très intéressant.
He looks like the Shah of Iran
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't go to bed with a price on your head
Construction workers, conveniently, left behind an iron pipe in a prison yard?
Someone clearly swiped it from the construction site and hid it on the yard.
I believe Vito Genovese was one of the main culprit's for the outing of the mafi
Hey Bobby... what about Daddy?
Thanks as always.
The same Joe Valachi who squealed to the Senate Committee about organized crime?
That's the one 💯
LA RÈGLE !!! ❤❤❤ ON NE PARLE PAS!!!❤❤❤ NORMAL!!!
Evidemment mais depuis quand les femmes ont à se mêler des affaires des hommes déjà
Code of silence. Mafia’s greatest snitch. Lol 😂
L'OMERTÁ E SCACCIAPENSIERI ☝!🇮🇹
I believe Valachi was the one who did the captions! There is no honor among thieves. I really enjoyed the video , but the music ? I could barely hear 👂 the commentator, had to turn on the captions to see what he was saying! I believe the captions were done by a two year old! Maybe Valachi lol
Life is more important than being called a snitch!!! YOU won't enjoy your life at my expense. HE DID IT AND HERE'S THE PROOF!!! DONE!!!
Life can be hell for a snitch cos history the past and people of the past always repeat, life isn't worth living if your a snitch, you will never be free ever again looking over your shoulder everday not a good life.
Well done.
Une vraie balance !!!
Kevin keegan in the mafia?
You funny😂
"Hey there's Willi Cicci"!
"Yh the Family had a lot of Buffers"
A decent series, but I think the reenactments are of dubious quality.
Glad Aids wasn't a thing back then..... putting your finger of blood on my finger of blood..no way

Department of Justice: 0 o 0
Turns out he was just trippin and that kiss of death was just really nothing 😅
I actually have a friend who escaped from la tuna. And Mexico isnt ever going to extradite him.
Godfather 2 told the story, you just have to know what to look for.
Atlanta federal prison not state.
en italien il me semble qu'on ne dit pas valaCCHHII ,mais valaKY
What do you want, a canoli or some gabagool ?
The question abides: was Genovese right? was Valachi responsible for Genovese's incarceration?
Websters definition of a snitch. Tell to save your own skin. People have gotten that word all wrong these days.
Ppl use the word Snitch for anything & everything,(Especially in today Society), thus it loses its original context
what mafia ?
@pitopper771: You sound like J. Edgar, that's what he swore by, no Mafia in New York!!!
@@BradBouton-d9u indeed no mafia in new york
Charles Bronson who star as Joe Valachi
The person who wrote this title Is wrong,should put The Snitching Code
La cosa nostra everyone really think about it
Je comprend pas pourquoi la mafia est relié que avec Italie qui dit mafia dit Italie ??
Anthony Hopkins narrates. Perfection.
No he doesn’t…think you need to get your ears checked lol
tres bon film avec bronson et lino ventura..cosa nostra
Vito genovese seemed a real scary guy...
La mafia c’est une chose la politique c’est une chose la police c’est une chose la justice c’est une chose le journal c’est autres chose avec dieu c’est une chose chaque chose à sa place chaque place a sa chose
the Valachi Papers
tout un monde hors de l ordinaire
Its NOT La Cosa Nostra its Cosa Nostra. G Edger Hoover put the La in. Based on his VAST knowledge on Italian.
It’s not G Edger Hoover it’s J Edgar Hoover ! I put that in based on my VAST knowledge of thinking before trying to be a smart ass 🤣
@@Sinister12C LMAO 🤣
MADE MY DAY
Id say jay edgar hoover just loved this guy..😂😂 he was soon gonna have to admit there wasa mafia..and with that hoover had nothing to bargain with about his hidden lifestyle..
The Movie the Valachi Paper.. Charles Bronson
Quite hard to understand the fascination we have for the MOB or gangster life when all they did and do is snitch on each kill each other and steal from each other. A gun and the ability to shoot doesn’t make you intelligent
boy did all that ratting for nun🤣🤣
20 fuckin years in the can I wanted manigot I compromised I eat grilled cheese off the radiator...philly leotardo❤
❤❤❤
Be silent about the snitching we all do
6:50
that’s the music from ‘monster BUG wars’
- is there that little talent left or are directors trying to save SO MUCH MONEY that they rehash musical themes from other shows- that’s SOME disgusting 💩
