Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/12/1712:08 PM
Hi, guys, heads up, this week in the uk 16/2/17. Sir Trev is back with a new documentary. He's with Linda Scarpa, Anthony Russo and family, Mikey Scars and also attends a mob wedding. He said this week in the press that he is fascinated with the mob. I've noticed him posting on a film forum about, Gomorrah,Romanzo Criminale etc so it's good to know we are in good company. Have to get him on here👍🏻

You mean where they meet for the first time? That's a hotel in Miami.
Trevor McDonald said that Scars never told them where he lived, all he would say is that he was flying in from out of state and that he would meet them in that hotel.

It's about mafia women. Skip.
Quote:
It’s not often that Sir Trevor McDonald, a veteran of 50 years as a journalist and broadcaster who’s encountered everyone from the Queen to Saddam Hussein, is rendered speechless.
But when he was interviewing American Linda Scarpa, one of the subjects of his latest documentary series Mafia Women, he was taken aback as she showed him her wedding video and matter-of-factly revealed that her hitman dad once asked her permission to kill her husband if he wasn’t treating her right.
“In these programmes you are occasionally confronted by facts which are so extraordinary in their nature,” says Trevor, 77. “How would that conversation go? ‘Let’s have another cup of tea, dear.
I know your husband hasn’t been treating you too well. Want me to bump him off?’ It’s not the kind of chat you hear in south-west London very often.
“Not in the pubs I go to, anyway.”
Linda is the daughter of Italian-born Greg Scarpa Senior, aka The Grim Reaper – a man who stopped counting the number of people he had killed when he passed 50.
She tells Trevor another story about her father “beating almost to death” her teenage best friend from school in New York for smoking pot with her, which shocked him even more.
“The bit that made me cringe more than almost anything else – that a big Mafia boss like that would turn his vengeance on a child,” he says.
“Then bring that child home so his daughter could see what he had done to the boy. I thought that was probably the cruellest thing I had ever heard.”
Despite his horror, Trevor admits the secret world of the Mafia is a subject that fascinated him enough to film a follow-up to his 2015 documentary series, when he interviewed various former high-ranking crime lords who had given evidence against career killers and were living with a price on their head.
He confesses it was hard to shake the feeling that both he and his camera crew might be in jeopardy filming in the US neighbourhoods where many of their subjects committed their crimes.
One former gang member of the Colombo crime family, Anthony Russo, gets so nervous talking on the streets of New York with his formerly estranged daughter Toni, he bolts for cover while still finding the time to tell Toni off for wearing too revealing an outfit.
“I noticed people opening their doors, looking around and then closing them again,” Trevor recalls.
“One guy came and stood about 100 yards away from where we were filming and he wouldn’t leave. I was nervous about who these people were, but it got to Anthony too.
He didn’t want to be there.
These were places where he had been involved in a lot of underhand stuff.
“But that, for us, is the fascination of these films – the complex relationship between these men of violence and their absolute love of their family.
He’d only just rebuilt his relationship with his daughter but there’s this strange juxtaposition between what he was and his concern for his daughter: ‘You don’t go around wearing trousers like that. I’m back to being your father now. Those trousers are showing too much of your backside.’
“Anthony’s girlfriend of six months, Amy, told me a story about Googling and discovering all these murders he’d committed and all this money he’d stolen. And yet she was still there!
"Jesus. I don’t know whether she thought she could somehow change him. I wish I could have that luck with women!”
Most extraordinary is the fact that all these people are prepared to speak to Trevor when they know it could get them killed. Why does he think they took the risk to talk to him?
“I’ve been baffled by this myself,” he says,
“But when I break it down, I think it comes down to one thing – pride.
These people don’t see themselves as we see them. I wouldn’t begin to use the words ‘common criminals’.
They would hate such a description. We see them as part of a criminal enterprise with which you and I would not want to be too close.
"They have an innate pride in what they have done and in being part of this age-old fraternity.”
Trevor was stunned when he learnt that the production company had sent the first series to the men he’d interviewed to watch.
“When they told me, I said: ‘You did what?!’” he laughs. “But they loved it.”
The trust he built, in particular with Michael ‘Mikey Scars’ DiLeonardo – a former member of the Gambino family indicted for two murders, extortion, loan sharking and witness tampering, who turned informant – opened doors again as Trevor and his team were given never-before-granted access to film a Mafia wedding, inside a secret community of fellow informants with their wives and families.
Scars even gave Trevor a chilling gift.
“Mikey Scars is a very strange fellow,” he says.
“I kind of quite like him, although he is one of those who is very good at disguising just how high up in the family he was.
"We had dinner one evening and he had something wrapped in paper which he ceremoniously gave me at the end. I took it back to my room and opened it up.
"It was a tie. I enquired of the guys: ‘What’s this tie all about?’ They told me it was a tie worn by the head of the Gambino family. I thought: ‘Which restaurant am I going to walk into wearing this?!’ I would not want to say I had such a close association with the Gambinos, but he meant it very nicely to me.”
Accommodating though Scars was, Trevor wouldn’t reveal to him what Mikey’s first wife Toni Marie had to say about him when he left her and their son and entered the witness-protection programme with his mistress.
“All I said to him was: ‘She was very frank about you, Mikey,’” he says.
“I left it there. You have to retain some sort of distance. Mikey goes into the witness-protection programme and he takes not his wife but his mistress. That exposed both his son and his wife to vengeance. She was not un-p****d off about this.”
Trevor tells us he’ll return to America for his next show. Perhaps a chat with President Trump?
“I have no interest in interviewing him!” he says. “I’m hoping to do something related to Martin Luther King.
"I never interviewed Barack Obama and I would like to have done that. But you can’t look back at things you could have done. I’ve been terribly lucky to have had more than my fair share of people I have managed to meet.
"I met Nelson Mandela and got to know him reasonably well. I’m happy to rest my laurels on that.”
The Trinidad and Tobago-born presenter pauses and raises an eyebrow.
“But America will be an interesting place to visit,” he says. “Luckily my passport doesn’t say Somalia on it.

Watching it now....I'm assuming the guy Mikey Scars sees in Little Italy is James Galione? Says his dad was killed by Gotti for messing up a hit and now the kids is with the Lucchese.

Dont think MacDonalds last Mafia doc is the one the op is referring to. The Original one Trevor MacDonald made with Alite, Natale, Mikey Scars, & Previte is where he claims he supposedly saw a made guy he once he knew. I don't remember whom it was who put two and two together that it was James Galione, because I don't remember if that was ever stated in the doc.

Anyone else think Di Leonardo looks like John Bradshaw Layfield?
Haha, good call.
I'm still going to check this one out. I've heard enough from Linda Scarpa, but Mikey Scars' mess of a love life seems like it should be good entertainment. I think they did an episode of "I Married a Mobster" with Toni Marie.

Yeah, they never stated it in the doc.....I thought Scars came off pretty good in the doc....
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/14/1712:00 AM
So the rat anthony russo xwife will be interesting. When he testified against persico family friend bf guerra. He said the were in a crash car when some young guys whacked colombo acting underboss joe scopo. The bullets hit the crash car to. She went on the stand and said bf was at here house playing a board game clue. Im sure shes gonna trash the fuck out here ex. Thats so embarrassing for him.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/14/1712:01 AM
Oh they found him not guilty of the murder based on her story. And he beat someothers. Still not made either. Guess on the night he was surposed to get it the feds followed people to where ever andrew russo was gonna have it.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/14/1710:22 PM
Should be a good one really Interested in what Russo has to say going to be good to hear from new people and not the same old bullshit from the typical guys who flkipped forever ago

Thanks a million Billy, I tried 6 ways to Sunday to try to watch that episode but couldn't because I was outside the U.K. When does episode 2 air? Didn't care too much for Trevor McDonald and never heard of him until that last doc with Natale and DiLeonardo, but the guy is actually starting to grow on me. He asks good questions and he needs to do more mob docs. Somebody should tell him how to pronounce Mafia though. He is a great journalist.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/18/1709:02 AM
Thanks BillyBrizzi. Like I posted earlier, I'd heard the Scarpa's story before, but hearing it this time it really hit home what horrible stuff they have had to go through.

It seems that's the way British people pronounce mafia. It's always annoyed me for some reason
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/18/1712:50 PM
No chance am I watching this. The other Trevor documentary on the mob was horrendous. He didn't do any research. just turned up and asked shit questions.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/18/1701:31 PM
hello Tommy , it is about the women and children, your right about the first show, i thought it was good but they should have asked these guys to tell us the goings on stories that have not been gone into in depth. they had a gold mine of info with some of those guys and didn't go there strange take on making a mafia doc

John Alite: "I know where the bodies are buried. I can name names. I can show you right now. This has been weighing on my mind. I need to purge. All this time I just needed somebody to listen."
Trevor McDonald: "Mr. Alite, what was Mr. Gotti's favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor: Chunky Monkey or Americone Dream"?
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/19/1705:16 AM
It was fairly interesting but the Russo part was a big let down I wish he would have gone into detail about his induction into the family and the Colombo war and all that good shit he has first hand knowledge of... hate to say it but the best part was Linda scrapa.. hopefully next week when Mikey scars is on it with his ex he talks about some cool shit. He's a smart guy and would like to hear him discuss things further. All Russo said about the life was about the bar he picked up his shy payments from. Guy seems like a not very bright gorilla . Who was Russo acting skipper for when he got arrested ? What crew? Someone needs to do a doc about the last Colombo war and get sal vitale, Russo scarpa jr and cutolo jr.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/19/1705:20 AM
Linda telling the story of her dad coming home after hitting Nicky black really shows how fucked up scraps was. To stroll into his house and proudly tell his whole family including his children how he just blew Nicky blacks face onto his windshield with a shotgun
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/19/1701:34 PM
Enjoyed the show seeing and hearing the women perspective of people in the life. However, do you really think that Scarpa would come home and tell Linda or anyone in his family what criminal acts, including Murder, that he committed or leave the house and announce what he was going to do? I just find that hard to believe. What are your thoughts?
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/19/1705:04 PM
Hello Bean, believe it , she is telling the truth..he was everything CN wasn't. he did not even try to help his son with the fbi,, he knew his son was going to get pinched for murders drug dealing and kept sending him out to kill .ratting on him also to that corrupt agent..

Hey Bronx, tell me please was Scarpa really that much feared in Bhurst as they say he was? Thanks.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/19/1707:34 PM
Read this private eye ladys theory about how greg used another top echelon informant last name paradiso little brother to the gambino capo. Gregs brother was gonna tell the bosses in 86 or 87 greg was a snitch. His brother name was salvatore scarpa. So sal is in a social club and robbery team sticks the club up theres one white guy who is paradiso he points out sal scarpa and they execute him and rob all the other guys. Scarpa was a cold blooded dude linda left all that shit or any mention of her uncle out of her book. She was hot still is for late 40tys. The other robbers were black males.

Thank you Bronx. He was then a true psychopath. Why the hell the the FBI Agent Delvecchio protect him? Sounds like another Bulger and Donelly. They controlled the FBI and the Feds didn't even know it. Too bad Linda lied otherwise Delvecchio would be cellie with Donelly.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/19/1709:11 PM
LOL Bean, lin was a criminal pure, simple..remember lin had control of funding these guys he handled..lin prob funded himself through these guys names..
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/19/1709:19 PM
Bean, people say he was a real tough guy, just the opposite ,if you knew you can walk into a bank empty all the money ,the cops knew it was you but protected you from getting pinched, did it takes balls for you to rob that bank ? with greg it was that way with murder, these rouge fbi guys emboldened him, he became a serial murderer with a license ..even sending his son out to kill like a jihadist. i feel very sorry for his daughter, he even got his younger son killed..got him involved in street life, dealing drugs oct..after he died ..people hated him and his family, so this kid gets killed .look what this garbage did to his family,,linda's mom linda was introduced to a kid greg brought around to fuck her, he would watch from a closet, this guy was not CN a degenerate serial killer
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/20/1712:30 AM
Hello Moe, the topic was the scarpa's, and this show, not comparing him to other animals like him..we all went over those guys pretty much in depth. greg killed a doctor, hot dog vendor boys a car service driver plus many more that had zero to do with CN.did you know of those murders? linda says he wanted to kill her husband, also jr gotti bullied everyone he felt like especially wise guys, so i have to disagree on that one also. jr does not qualify in any of those others category. not close.and i do not like jr gotti.. it was the libatores that kid that kid i believe. greg killed vinny venus the guy hanging christmas lights .he was only a host in a diner called venus..he was not close to mobbed up..with wild bill.thats all he was. what linda said was true ..she knows her was a monster.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/20/1709:19 PM
yeah it was terrible Sinatra..they should have know though who was who before you plot to murder someone..need to kill the right target..no do overs on that

not exactly innocents to say the least. The good Dr. Scholnick you speak of was a baby killer. Not only that he let it be known he was about to drop a dime on Scarpa. The car service guy was supposed to take his daughter to school, not pull over in a park and try to fuck her. Hardly innocent. I don't know of the hot dog vendor. Vincent Fusaro who was associated with the Venus Diner was definitely mobbed up although not a hitter or enforcer he was technically associated with the Orena Faction. Surprised you didn't bring up Allie Boys girlfriend Mary Bari, who I would consider one of the only innnocents of the victims even though she was a mob moll. She didn't deserve what happened to her.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/21/1708:36 PM
hello Yates , you know some history,mary was ordered killed by allie boy, thats why i did not bring her up not a scarpa, thing ..car service guy hit on linda, greg said he tried to rape her,who would not hit on a pretty girl? i bet if she knew what was going to happen she never would have told her animal father.beating good enough.. the doctor , baby killer in what way..i heard a little different , what was he going to say about greg,? was he involved with C.N.? I'm not to clear on that one ,i remember being told right after the doctor was killed it was a greg thing. did you know vinny, ? i did ,he was with wild bill, he was a non player in the life, gambler, half a shylock ,he borrowed more than he lent out,he worked as a host in the venus diner. greg wasted a life and a bullet on that kid..Yates lets not make greg scrap the keeper of justice in bensonhurst..like a charles bronson..he was a rat , coward, serial murderer with a license from an fbi supervisor and the mafia..he had a guy fuck linda in front of him..low life..you probably know this greg was a rapist, in that club he would have pauline ,frankie and the rest of those guys bring in young girls 15 16 years old a give him B.J.s..he ruined a lot of people..his blood family included..he was not C.N. he killed brewster for a lie, joe knew about the agent relationship,
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/22/1701:22 AM
Sinatra , anyone who lived in bensonhurst knows all about greg and his crew, greg got away with everything, the guys above him protected him from getting killed, he brought money in for decades and killed on their orders, it was around for years he may be an informer, the gambino's were given the contract to kill him, then the colombo's called it off,circa 1989 90. he killed so much the thinking was no way he is a rat..this guy was pinched by the secret service and the case went away..he was so brazen ,he kills big donnie in the club on 13th. not worried about bugs in the club or maybe agents outside..his guys dealt drugs all over..he could be the worst guy in the history of the american mafia.ill think who could possibly be worse..any idea's out there?

Baby killer comment was because Dr Scholnick ran an abortion clinic, was still in love with Lili Dijani and let it be known to a Genovese Mobster he associated with his plans to ruin Scarpa and rat on him. The car service driver tried to bang his underage daughter. Agreed he should've been beatin since he didn't actually rape her. I am not saying Scarpa wasn't a rat and was the Robin Hood of Bensonhurst. Just stating the facts. That being said, Mary Bari's death was on Scarpa and Delvecchio. They convinced the Persico's she was gonna rat out Allie Boy. The Vinnie Fusuaro thing? You said it with your own words, he was "With Wild Bill" which was enough for Scarpa to go after when he found out the botched hit on him in November was orchestrated by Wild Bill Cutolo himself.

Yeah, Scarpa is a real scumbag. I was skimming through the documentary and there is a home video of Scarpa with his son Gregs daughter who is no more than 3 years old at the time and he is saying to her to tell daddy I got my period, who makes that kind of joke with a toddler? He got one son life in prison and the other killed on the street like a dog. He had his teenage son kill his best friend. Who was the terrorist he had his son kill? Is that the stuff that went down with Greg Jr in prison?
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/22/1711:04 PM
Hey Bronx, tell me please was Scarpa really that much feared in Bhurst as they say he was? Thanks.[/quote] Scarpa was a scumbag..There were others more feared in Bensonhurst.

I don't think Greg Sr was a part of Greg Jr's case with the muslim guy. He wasn't going to kill him but somehow Greg Jr befriended the guy and would listen in on his threats. Greg Jr is telling all of this to the feds hoping it'll get him out of prison (btw, he was let out to dry by his dad with this, he was ordered by his dad to commit the acts, then did nothing for him when he got booked for it, smh). Turns out Greg Jr's info is right, the feds find buried homemade bombs and shit in the backyard of a home, that the muslim dude had given up or alluded to the whereabouts of the home and his plan to commit a terror act. They got this guy and his accomplices on the outside, in part to the info Greg Jr. shared. Feds ended up doing nothing for him, now he's dying in prison of cancer.

Are you drunk or on Meds? You seem to ramble and make no sense and can't spell or complete a sentence worth a damn. So for now we will take one answer at a time. The first topic is Dr. Scholnick. As you know(or probably don't) Dr was romantically involved with an assistant at his abortion clinic named Lili Dijani, and Israeli Beauty Queen. Dejani later fell in love with Greg Scarpa and they were married(illegally more than likely) The dr became jealous, went to a Genovese mobster with his plans to rat Scarpa out to get Dejani back. The mobster told Scarpa of his plans(he's a mobster, no matter what he's not gonna side with the rat dr.) Scarpa took him out. Rebuttal is in your court. After this topic we will move on to the next subject. I want to take it slow so you're brain can keep up.

Joel cacace was scarpas long time enemy he was telling anyone and everyone since the 70s that scarpa was ratting.The thing is Persico needed him he was his killing machine deep down he probably knew he was a rat (you cant keep getting caught and not going to jail).Scarpa beating his daughters friend because they smoked weed together was a dick move because all teenagers do shit like that yet he had no problem moving heroin to other peoples children
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/23/1702:45 PM
Yates, when people get frustrated or caught in lies they usually act the way you just did, but you are on a key board and you can be as tough as you want .real men do not vent on a key board, o.k. yates was he married to this girl or not, ? so he is with this girl that is banging greg on the side. so she was real nice girl they were having a beef about, so the dr. goes and complains to a wisely and that what he is murdered about,,you keep saying he was going to cops to rat on greg ..i ask what was he going to rat about you still did not answer ,was he going to the fbi and say greg stole my big [BadWord] girl friend. so now a doctor gets killed cause greg was banging his girl..?? your idol greg is ,was an animal ,can not be no lower than him everyone knows that in bensonhurst..oh you still did not say if you were ever in the nabe.. Alex thank you for your comments, guys like this need to feel like capeci, when they called out because they can not find info on a computer they act like this..i have no issue with Yates, he needs this to feel good about himself ..so Yates lets hear your next tirade .think of some good tough words ..

spero and decicco, were very close, their knowledge of the life, the ability to be very respected just did not come from being tough, it came from them not being blood thirsty, tolerant, saved lives , they were both complete C.N. comfortable in their skin ,not needing to go out and be vicious to prove what they are tough. two of the best guys to come from bath beach ever in CN. Spero's club was the hub for 6 families..
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald,new mob documentary. - 02/23/1708:45 PM
Scarpa was also made all the way back in 1951 when he was like 22 yrs old that probaly made guys scratch there heads in the 80tys like this guys been made forever. Read somewhere scarpa respected anthony spero was friends maybe way spero escaped the 80tys with out a long bid.

Not venting, just stating the facts. All your words and only one sentence dealt with a rebuttal. And Scarpa was a rat, besides I don't have idols. Let's get back to the facts smart guy. The only real meaningful question in your drunken rant. The question, what does he have on Scarpa to rat on him. This is a 2 part answer. #1. Dejani mentioned some of the illegal things Scarpa was into and a general description of his loansharking operation. #2. Didn't matter if the Dr. knew jack shit about his illegal activities, the mere fact of you saying you're going to rat to the Feds on a wiseguy is enough to motivate them to whack you. Waiting for your response. Hope it is more intelligent than your last posts.

You really don't know that much about Spero in his younger years do you? As a young man he was violent and a loose cannon and came very close to being whacked. Do you know anything about that?

It was a doc about the wives and family and what the life meant to them, not about the men. I thought it was very good and showed the women in another way as for example mob wives.

That was frigging bizarre. That guy involved in the Wall Street scam, there is no way he was made with the Gambino family? He came off as a real clown.

I was wrong, he used a jet ski to cross the Niagara River.

Yeah i know it was about the wives but it would of been way more interesting if instead it was about the wives he just did a doco on the guys them selves the sad thing is its probably going to be 5 more years till a new doc comes along.

You live in New York, I live in Mississippi. That is a fact. Your reasoning for Scarpa killing Dr. Scholnick was because Greg Scarpa Sr sucked Scholnick's dick and didn't like the taste? Okay if you say so. I disagree. It really burns your ass a dumb redneck knows more than you do doesn't it? I never reference WIKI. Mainly FBI documents, witness documents, and people close to the source like oh I don't know, Scarpa Jr, Linda Schiro, Larry Mazza, Lyn DeVecchio, Tony Villano, Ed Mcdonald etc etc. Unless if course you were closer to the action than those guys. Anyways, my statement on the Scholnick murder is stated in these many posts, yours is Scarpa sucked the Drs dick, didn't like the taste so killed him. Working out excellent for me so far. Next case. Would you like to open the topic or should I?

His wife stood 100% by him though. At first I thought she was nothing but a golddigger, but she is a very loyal wife and loving mother, she did everything she could to try to keep the family together.
That part when Sir Trevor asked her how much money she asked Sal when she wanted to go shopping was pretty funny. Straight outta GoodFellas, à la Karen Hill lol

Romano was an associate of DiLeonardo. And his real-life demeanor is much more quiet and sly than on-camera in this documentary. In fact, I do not recall his eyes being blue the time that I encountered him. Perhaps he wears fake lenses.
I would not be surprised if Sal were still somehow involved in massive frauds with mob-backing. Look at what his brother Mario is up to = http://wealthgenerators.com/leadership/
Romano is of course a very common surname. But it is worth noting that a certain Giuseppe Romano was a central figure in some of the earliest financial crimes of the American mafia, involving the printing of counterfeit dollars
Sal Romano mentions to Trevor McDonald that his father, Dominic Romano, was a "mafia accountant." In fact, his father seems to have raised all of his children to be financial swindlers.
Sal Romano was " . . . barred from the securities industry because of a mail fraud and conspiracy conviction in 1992, in which he and other members of his family -- including his brother, Dino Romano, father, Dominic Sr. and sister, Bianca Romano -- were charged with running a loan brokerage out of Willowbrook that scammed applicants across the country out of more than $1 million"
Sal Romano is today about 49 or 50 years old. This means that in 1992 he was only 24 or 25 years old, and I would assume that he hatched the scheme at an even younger age
