HOW WE WERE CAUGHT
So, there ended up being an undercover FBI agent, Joe Pistone, who decided to infiltrate the Bonanno crime family and deliver crucial information about our business to the government. Over more than four years, the FBI and its partners had gathered evidence on our drug ring, conducted surveillance, and traced and analyzed thousands of our phone calls. Spanish authorities, aided by information from the FBI, followed our boss's nephew, Pietro Alfano, to Madrid. When the two stepped out onto the streets of Madrid they were quickly taken into custody. The next day, the FBI conducted a raid on the U.S. and arrested 30 Mafiosos and our associates that worked with the boss, Badalamenti. They found drug paraphernalia, large amounts of cash and weapons, and lots of documents, all enough to indict us. In the meantime, we have been forced to shut our businesses down. However, don't be disappointed, we still have connections.
