Robert Spinelli

Gang Land‘s Jerry Capeci writes, 

Back in 2014, a slow witted mob informer who was helping the feds build a racketeering and murders case against a bunch of Luchese gangsters forgot to turn off his recording device. As a result, Gang Land has learned, the turncoat recorded some embarrassing comments from an FBI undercover agent that were never supposed to see the light of day.

Mr Capeci writes,    The snitch, mob associate Robert Spinelli, recorded himself telling the FBI agent that one of the targeted gangsters had repeatedly refused to take part in a drug deal that Spinelli was pushing. The gangster, Spinelli is heard telling the agent, told him that he had sworn off cocaine trafficking years earlier.

“That’s okay,” the undercover G-man, using the name “Pete,” is heard telling Spinelli, according to court records. “We can facilitate him to do it. This is like playing a chess game. We’ll plant the seed, the seed will grow,” he said. “Pete,” sources say, was playing the role of a trucker with loads of stolen jewelry to sell who was also eager to get into the drug smuggling business.   Gang Land News
