TBMSRadio Sharing NYC Police Officer "Lt. Detective Joseph (Guiseppe) Petrosino"
Manage episode 273556103 series 2799554
Lt. Joseph Petrosino, NYPD, made it his mission to take down the notorious extortion and crime ring known as “The Black Hand,” which infiltrated New York City’s immigrant communities and others across the nation, having roots within the Sicilian Mafia. After arresting some of the major organized crime figures of the 1890s and 1900s, Lt. Petrosino went undercover to Sicily to weed out major crime leaders there, only to be assassinated after then-NYPD Commissioner Theodore Bingham told the city press about the mission.
Ask The Lawyer - Connors' Corner Conversations interviews Author Stephen Talty who chronicled Lt. Petrosino’s exploits, leadership, arrests and investigations in his 2017 book, “The Black Hand.” A movie based on the book has been commissioned, potentially to star Leonardo DiCaprio. Stephen Talty talks about the life and career of Lt. Joe Petrosino with Mike Connors on this week’s Ask the Lawyer.
