| This book relies predominantly on the evidence of pentiti, mafiosi who have turned state's evidence, to piece together a history. |
|
| It was a feud between mafiosi who rubbed each other out with mortars or cannons. |
|
| The bar was a gathering place for gamblers, mobsters, mafiosi, and, occasionally, corrupt cops and agents. |
|
| Armed with inside information, Bulger outmaneuvered rival mafiosi and dodged local criminal investigations. |
|
| Why not extrajudicially render mafiosi to Third World hellholes? |
|
| The mafiosi punished the informer by giving him a kneecapping. |
|
| Bribery puts dirty money into the hands of politicians, but corrupt politicians are exposed to extortion from Mafiosi. |
|
| Brought up in a household of Mafiosi, living on the tough streets of Los Angeles, I was no fool about the violence other people do to each other. |
|
| Today, however, many senior Mafiosi in Italy and America have turned the state's evidence against the organisation. |
|
| Callers range from the imperious to the crawling, from the famous to the social climbers, from nabobs to Mafiosi. |
|
| The climactic scene in which the local Mafiosi close in on the inspector is bone chilling and unforgettable. |
|
| Watching these distinguished gentlemen operate, we feel certain that the old stereotypes of Italian-American men as Mafiosi, brutes, sexual predators, or idiots are behind us. |
