Episode 54: The Giannini Crew
On Episode 54, We delve into the history of the Giannini Crew, a mob farm team closely connected to the Bonnano family that ran the streets of Queens throughout the 70's, 80's, and to a lesser extent, the 90's, they were a group of young, rough and tumble, Sicilian American youths, most of whom were the sons and nephews of older mobsters who made their name through heroin trafficking, namely that connected to the Pizza Connection case, and in step with that, the group was founded by a heavyweight mobster of a similar ilk, named Baldassare Amato, who became prolific for his role in the murder of Carmine Galante, and eventually turned the Giannini Crew into one of the most feared groups in the New York mob scene at the time, I hope everyone enjoys today's show and tunes back in next week for Episode 55
