Mob Insider Reveals Decades of Organized Crime Secrets
Mob Insider Reveals Decades of Organized Crime Secrets as Gianni Russo, 81, the perennial plus-one to mobsters, movie stars, and politicians, unloads in his memoir, Mafia Secrets: Untold Tales from the Hollywood Godfather. He alleges Pope John Paul I was murdered in 1978 for trying to shut down a Vatican Bank laundering pipeline run by Archbishop Paul Marcinkus—claims that include Russo himself couriering Vegas skim to Rome until the pope said stop, and, days later, was dead; a former Swiss Guard allegedly told him the pontiff got an “untraceable” injection. Russo’s Hollywood reel features a years-long, oddly chaste connection with Marilyn Monroe that culminates at Cal-Neva, where he says she erupted over the Kennedys and an abortion, while mob bosses warned she wouldn’t live to file a complaint. He places Lee Harvey Oswald walking out of Carlos Marcello’s private bathroom days before JFK’s assassination, watches Tony “the Ant” Spilotro meet his end, and tours Pablo Escobar’s Medellín spread—cocaine, cash, and hippos, because subtlety isn’t a cartel virtue. Never officially “made,” Russo casts himself as the Zelig of bad neighborhoods and shrugs off retaliation: “Everybody’s dead.” He signs off with a flourish only a lifelong almost-mobster could love: “I am a made man—only by God.”
