For decades, organized crime depended on one rule above almost everything else: silence.
But what happens when the men who knew the Mafia from the inside decide to talk?
In this documentary, we examine 8 mobsters who became government informants, revealing how their decisions changed major organized-crime investigations and prosecutions.
From Sammy “The Bull” Gravano and his testimony against John Gotti to Joe Massino, Gregory Scarpa Sr., Al D’Arco, Anthony Casso, Vincent “Fish” Cafaro, Frank Cullotta, and Michael Franzese, these stories show the complicated relationship between criminals, investigators, and the justice system.
Some became witnesses. Some provided intelligence. Some attempted cooperation that ultimately failed. Others walked away from organized crime and began new lives.
Their stories reveal how federal investigators used informants, wiretaps, surveillance, racketeering prosecutions, and insider testimony to penetrate some of America's most secretive criminal organizations.
Who were these men? Why did they talk? And what happened after they broke the code of silence?
