HLN | "He Makes Money and He Murders People" @hln | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Sammy The Bull Gravano was one of the most feared mobsters in history. As the right-hand man to mafia kingpin, John Gotti, he carried out multiple murders on behalf of the crime family. But after his arrest, he committed the ultimate mafia sin: he broke the sacred oath of silence and cut a deal with the government– agreeing to testify against his former boss.
In shocking testimony, Gravano described the cold-blooded murders of close friends and business partners and the secret world of La Cosa Nostra.
As the highest-ranking mobster ever to defect, his testimony helped put Gotti and dozens of others behind bars and devastated the hierarchy of organized crime. After the trial, Gravano was supposed to slip away quietly under the Witness Protection Program with a new name and a new face. But the notorious gangster was not about to live a normal life.
Despite a bounty on his head, he abandoned the Witness Protection Program and drifted back into the criminal world again. Sammy Gravano is one of the last mobsters of a bygone era and his story from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn to the mafia’s inner circle, to government informant, and then, to prison is a tale of murder, betrayal, and survival.
Watch this full episode of Very Scary People hosted by Donnie Wahlberg Sunday, June 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the HLN television network.
HLN is available on most cable and satellite systems in North America and as part of a "Live TV" subscription on many streaming services like Hulu and YouTube TV.
