Thank you for this. I've been researching certain aspects of the French Connection cases but hadn't put it together like that. Funny to see Tony Mirra popping up.

"The French Connection" book by Robin Moore is mostly very good, I think, as far as what's there but it's definitely obviously towards NYPD as opposed to FBN and leaves a lot of questions unanswered.

It's not super important but one thing I was looking for on the later side of TFC is the exact date Carmine Galante was released from the Atlanta Fed Pen...

Also, as an interesting sidenote to the heavy business, French tv presenter and drug courier Jacques Angelvin wrote a book about his time in the can, though I've not read it--
