Gerry Angiulo and his brothers ruled the Boston mafia for generations. He was often stereotypical, He was loud and obnoxious, he was often cruel to the people who committed crimes for the family, calling them suckers. Gerry's big mouth was his Achilles heal and the FBI knew it. They installed an illegal wiretap at one of his bar's in the combat zone in the early 60's, this confirmed that Gerry was "The Man" in Boston. The FBI took its time, but eventually they focused on him and his brothers. Gerry had an uncanny head for numbers and he parlayed that skill to become the "underboss" of the New England mafia, however he had to become a "made" member of the mob first. The Angiulo's lead the mob during what has been described as the heyday of Boston organized crime, the amount of money Gerry generated for the Mob was unprecedented and will likely never be repeated. Join us for part one of this criminal saga.
