In this VladTV exclusive, former mafia associate Frank DiMatteo took DJ Vlad through a brief history of the Italian mob’s stronghold in Red Hook, Brooklyn during the 1950s. DiMatteo recounted some of the more high-profile names in the Mob, like Carmine the Snake and Joey Gallo. DiMatteo talked about growing up in a Mafia family, as his father and uncles were enforcers for the Gallo crime family. He explained how he moved up the ranks and chose not to become a “made man.” DiMatteo goes into Gallo being blamed for the assassination attempt on Joe Colombo, Gallo’s passing, and his thoughts on “The Irishman” before explaining what led him to leave Mafia life.
