in that
00:03:43
Behavior photos AKA Freddy GS was born
00:03:47
in
00:03:48
1966 in Springfield Massachusetts where
00:03:51
he grew up with his family and younger
00:03:53
brother Tai at that time it was a
00:03:56
troubled City plagued by poverty where
00:03:59
jobs were scarce as teenagers Freddy and
00:04:03
Ty would get into numerous brawls the
00:04:06
brother Tai had a lot of more arrests
00:04:09
and I don't remember Freddy getting in
00:04:11
any trouble until the
00:04:13
mid90s what I did know about him was he
00:04:16
was very capable at violence if it came
00:04:19
to
00:04:20
that following a serious fight Freddy's
00:04:23
brother Tai ended up behind
00:04:26
bars so I'm Anthony Rada former boss of
00:04:29
the the Springfield crew of the geneves
00:04:32
crime family I went to a state prison
00:04:35
for a 5-year prison sentence for having
00:04:38
a possessing a firearm discharging a
00:04:41
firearm as I was doing my state prison
00:04:44
sentence uh I met Tai gas uh in 1990 I
00:04:50
was already there I was uh in conquered
00:04:52
State Prison fiercely loyal to his
00:04:55
brother Freddy would frequently visit
00:04:57
Tai in prison I first met Freddy gz in
00:05:01
1990 he used to come up and visit his
00:05:04
brother Tai and I used to be an inmate
00:05:08
with Tai and so we would meet up visits
00:05:11
in contrast to his brother Freddy GS
00:05:14
seemed like a good family man Freddy was
00:05:17
uh working for his uh family's jewelry
00:05:20
store and he really wasn't a street guy
00:05:24
he was married with uh children and he
00:05:26
didn't go out at night he was usually
00:05:28
home with his wife and
00:05:33
kids contrary to appearances he was
00:05:36
already well on his way to forging a
00:05:38
criminal
00:05:40
career his crimes that he did at that
00:05:43
young age was like credit card
00:05:45
scams and he would make fake cocaine and
00:05:48
you know Rob people that
00:05:52
way Freddy was inspired by his brother
00:05:55
Tai and friend Anthony to take his next
00:05:58
steps into a life of of crime I think
00:06:00
what changed with Freddy was me and his
00:06:03
brother going to prison at a young age
00:06:05
and coming out with all the stories that
00:06:07
we
00:06:08
had we had a lot of fun in prison we
00:06:11
were wild and you know fighting
00:06:14
and doing illegal things making money in
00:06:17
there it doesn't stop just cuz you're in
00:06:18
prison you can still continue to make
00:06:20
money gambling and drugs I think Freddy
00:06:24
kind of like those you know that you
00:06:27
know being away in a tough prison it
00:06:30
kind of like put him to the path of you
00:06:33
know that type of
00:06:35
Lifestyle having served their time
00:06:38
Anthony and Tai were soon released from
00:06:41
prison but the pair remained
00:06:45
friends it's very common that that some
00:06:47
bonds and relationships are established
00:06:50
within the prison system and they're
00:06:51
very strong they stay with these these
00:06:53
individuals when they get out on the
00:06:56
[Music]
00:06:58
street
00:07:03
with Freddy's marriage now on the Rocks
00:07:05
he was slipping deeper into the criminal
00:07:08
underworld he ended up getting divorced
00:07:11
and everything and he started coming
00:07:12
around a little bit more but as far as
00:07:15
making the money it didn't happen with
00:07:17
him until he got in trouble in the mid
00:07:19
90s for robbing a tractor trailer with
00:07:24
computers and things like that on it
00:07:27
Freddy JS went to prison like I think in
00:07:29
9
00:07:30
7 and he got a 4-year
00:07:34
sentence prison is an extremely
00:07:37
dangerous place for both officers and
00:07:41
inmates I would say more so for inmates
00:07:43
because they cannot leave they're in
00:07:45
there and we can only do so much for
00:07:49
Freddy GS being in prison was an
00:07:52
inspiration when Freddy was in prison
00:07:54
like he liked being around those type of
00:07:56
guys that committed multiple murders and
00:07:59
were respected the way they were in
00:08:07
[Music]
00:08:10
prison that's pretty much when his life
00:08:12
of crime really started is when he came
00:08:14
home from doing that prison sentence and
00:08:16
that's when we uh got to become better
00:08:21
friends we were young guys growing up
00:08:24
violent so we would fight
00:08:27
rival gangs in the uh City he fit in
00:08:32
with us and fit in with me in my group
00:08:34
if there was a fight and we got into T
00:08:37
Freddy would be there and we would be
00:08:39
able to commit violence like I was used
00:08:41
to growing
00:08:45
up with their reputations on the rise in
00:08:48
Springfield it wasn't long until one of
00:08:50
America's oldest and most feared
00:08:53
criminal organizations got in
00:08:55
touch Springfield had a pretty
00:09:00
established presence of the Italian
00:09:02
mafia dating back
00:09:05
decades uh in Western Massachusetts in
00:09:08
this area where I was assigned it was
00:09:11
the geneves crime family these people
00:09:15
are uh they're out there for themselves
00:09:18
they don't take from the rich and give
00:09:20
to the poor they take from everybody and
00:09:22
they give to
00:09:25
themselves genev crime family is
00:09:27
probably the largest most powerful Ian
00:09:29
organized crime family in the country
00:09:32
they work out of New York Springfield
00:09:34
had its own faction with many members
00:09:36
and
00:09:39
Associates the Springfield mob created a
00:09:42
climate of fear in the local community
00:09:44
terrorizing shops and business
00:09:47
owners the geneves made members and
00:09:50
their Associates largely involved
00:09:52
extortion uh book making uh lone
00:09:56
sharking typical type of street racket
00:09:58
that was their uh most cash lucrative
00:10:03
Endeavors Freddy now 34 single and
00:10:07
involved with organized crime decided he
00:10:10
wanted to be part of the
00:10:13
family that's when his mindset really
00:10:16
became more to get involved in organized
00:10:20
crime stuff Mafia stuff Hollywood has
00:10:22
always glorified the mob and we as
00:10:24
viewers have always been fascinated with
00:10:27
the mob and people like John Gotti and
00:10:30
even uh you know Scarface or all those
00:10:34
kind of mob movies so I wonder if GS
00:10:38
thought of himself as maybe a different
00:10:41
kind of criminal he probably enjoyed
00:10:44
engaging in violence but it was
00:10:46
justified because it was for this bigger
00:10:49
cause which is this Organized Crime
00:10:51
Mob Freddy and his brother Tai quickly
00:10:55
gained a fearsome reputation Freddy G I
00:10:59
was familiar with the name as well as
00:11:00
his brother Tai they were known
00:11:04
individuals in the West Springfield area
00:11:05
that were involved in various
00:11:07
crimes things along the line of theft
00:11:10
crimes of of
00:11:12
violence they became Mafia
00:11:16
mercenaries you know if we had to give a
00:11:18
guy a beating if somebody bothered their
00:11:19
family my family or somebody
00:11:21
disrespected us um Freddy and Tha were
00:11:24
those guys that would come with me the
00:11:26
jfes mob family was very notorious is
00:11:29
particularly back then and so it Paints
00:11:33
the idea that GS wanted to be notorious
00:11:36
he wanted to be Infamous he probably did
00:11:38
want to rise the ranks the fact that he
00:11:40
was somehow tied to the geneves family
00:11:43
was probably a huge ego
00:11:45
feeder when it came time to use guns and
00:11:48
kill those two were the ones that I
00:11:51
singled out to be with
00:11:55
[Music]
00:11:58
me
00:12:00
Freddy GS had turned from
00:12:03
familyman to
00:12:05
mobster the mafia was a global
00:12:08
organization that pretty much rivaled
00:12:11
you know governments I mean it it
00:12:13
controlled the union it controlled
00:12:16
politicians it controlled law
00:12:18
enforcement up until a certain
00:12:23
point Freddy was operating across the
00:12:26
state border helping the top mob boss
00:12:28
Arty
00:12:30
so around 2003 there was a uh beef going
00:12:34
on in New York City involving Arty Nigro
00:12:36
and this man named Frank
00:12:38
[Music]
00:12:39
davel we learned that he had uh upset or
00:12:43
disrespected somehow Arty Nigro who was
00:12:46
the acting boss of the geneves crime
00:12:48
family Ry was a boss and he wanted this
00:12:52
man
00:12:54
killed Freddy and his brother Ty were
00:12:58
the men for the
00:13:00
job there was a meticulous planning that
00:13:03
went on they were told where this
00:13:05
gentleman lived the apartment block that
00:13:07
he got up every morning at such a Time
00:13:09
came out crossed the street got in his
00:13:10
car we have to leave at like 3:00 in the
00:13:13
morning to get there cuz he leaves his
00:13:14
house at
00:13:16
6 finally after weeks of preparation
00:13:20
Freddy and Tai were ready to carry out
00:13:22
the hit in New
00:13:26
York they traveled down Freddy was the
00:13:30
driver we're driving with guns with
00:13:32
silencers men with our records get
00:13:35
pulled over with those guns in the car
00:13:36
were're going to get a 20-year sentence
00:13:38
just for having the guns so there was a
00:13:39
lot of risk and a lot of
00:13:43
chance they got to the busy New York
00:13:46
Street where Frank dato
00:13:48
lived the countdown to the assassination
00:13:51
in broad daylight had
00:13:58
begun
00:13:59
so me and Ty were sitting on a bench in
00:14:01
New York Freddy was parked down the
00:14:02
street we're waiting for Frank the dable
00:14:04
to come out of his
00:14:11
house out comes Frank the dable from his
00:14:14
apartment and they observed this
00:14:16
gentleman exit his
00:14:21
house and they started approaching his
00:14:23
car the guy quickly shut the
00:14:26
door it just stood right outside his
00:14:29
window firing handguns through the
00:14:35
glass yeah he was shot nine times off
00:14:37
from the torso up his head his
00:14:43
neck the two of them ran back got in the
00:14:45
car and they they took off got out of
00:14:47
the area and left the guy all
00:14:49
assumptions were he was
00:14:53
dead miraculously he lived so a miracle
00:14:58
that he lived
00:15:02
Mr dbo knew enough the people involved
00:15:06
and who might have ordered this and
00:15:07
decided not to make any fuss didn't
00:15:10
cooperate with the
00:15:11
police Freddy G is changed after the
00:15:14
Frank Theo hit and then you know he you
00:15:18
could tell that he liked
00:15:22
it with the shooting of Union boss Frank
00:15:25
dato Freddy gas had been given a taste
00:15:27
of violent crime with the genovesi
00:15:31
family that was Freddy's first
00:15:34
major you would call it a mob hit or you
00:15:37
know whatever you want to call it that
00:15:39
was the first one now he was ready for
00:15:42
more he liked the notoriety of being
00:15:45
known as a killer where you know I would
00:15:48
pretty much not want people to know you
00:15:51
know like if somebody gets killed let
00:15:53
them think that guy did it and let me
00:15:57
have no in they think I had no
00:15:59
involvement that's how I would want to
00:16:01
be but he was different he would want to
00:16:03
be known as the guy that killed
00:16:08
him Freddy jumped at the chance to solve
00:16:11
another problem the mafia
00:16:15
way the name of the problem Gary
00:16:20
Westerman we got word that Gary was an
00:16:22
informant working for the um State
00:16:27
Police we knew we could get get him we
00:16:29
devised a plan and we said let's kill
00:16:32
Gary So the plan was hatched that they
00:16:35
would lure Mr Westerman to a unknown
00:16:40
residence they would get Mr Westman to
00:16:42
go to this house under the pretense of
00:16:45
we were going to rob this
00:16:50
house this is where uh I had um two
00:16:55
houses uh one of which was my uh IED as
00:16:59
a stash house once you get off the
00:17:01
street here there's nobody that even
00:17:03
knows that you're up here so that's why
00:17:05
I really like the this area it was a
00:17:08
good location if you will to to commit
00:17:11
this type of crime Freddy joined Anthony
00:17:14
to make preparations to hit Gary I dug a
00:17:17
hole in this
00:17:19
backyard uh somewhere maybe 50 yards
00:17:22
going that
00:17:24
way the hole sat there for a number of
00:17:27
months unused until such time they
00:17:30
decided to take care of Mr
00:17:35
Westerman in November 2003 Freddy GS and
00:17:39
his accomplices decided the time was
00:17:41
right to go ahead with the execution of
00:17:44
Gary
00:17:45
Westerman he was lured here by uh Freddy
00:17:47
and taies and um once they got here he
00:17:51
was beaten and
00:17:55
shot I came out of the garage by seen um
00:17:59
Freddy was just kind of like they were
00:18:00
wrestling with him because he wasn't he
00:18:02
didn't die from the
00:18:03
[Music]
00:18:06
bullet aada told Freddy to shoot him
00:18:11
again Freddy had a somewhat larger
00:18:14
caliber handgun and shot him in in the
00:18:20
skull taas then grabbed Westerman by the
00:18:23
belt and threw him head first down into
00:18:27
this hole
00:18:31
Westerman suddenly nobody had an account
00:18:34
for where Gary Westerman was it was
00:18:37
widely suspected that he had met some
00:18:40
foul
00:18:41
play Freddy GS and his brother had
00:18:44
brutally murdered Gary Westerman for the
00:18:47
police he was just a missing
00:18:52
person we uh got rid of uh the guns our
00:18:56
clothes and um you know we uh cleaned up
00:19:00
as best we
00:19:02
could
00:19:04
and the next day it was known right
00:19:07
right away there was a a ton of law
00:19:09
enforcement presence all over us um they
00:19:12
were you know not making it a a secret
00:19:15
they were letting them us know that they
00:19:17
were on to us as the suspects of this
00:19:19
disappearance of this
00:19:23
man without a body it seemed that Freddy
00:19:26
and his accomplices had got away with
00:19:29
the
00:19:30
killing stories would come in as to
00:19:33
where his remains might be found none of
00:19:36
them proved credible in the end but we
00:19:38
had to follow these leads up Freddy GS
00:19:41
would have enjoyed playing and
00:19:43
manipulating the law enforcement
00:19:45
agencies trying to catch him knowing
00:19:47
that he was doing all of these things
00:19:49
and that he wasn't getting caught so
00:19:50
it's probably something that he chased
00:19:53
and desired and definitely fed his
00:19:55
[Music]
00:19:56
ego Freddy GS was now deeply entrenched
00:20:00
in a life of violent crime only a few
00:20:02
weeks after the murder of Gary Westerman
00:20:04
Freddy had a new
00:20:07
[Music]
00:20:10
Target ad doel Bruno was a uh made
00:20:13
member of the mafia he was a made member
00:20:16
of the geneves crime family out based
00:20:19
out of New
00:20:22
York genev crime family is probably the
00:20:26
largest most powerful thaan organized
00:20:27
crime family in country they deals
00:20:31
across the country with other Mafia
00:20:32
groups even in Florida they have ties
00:20:35
with uh other organized crime figures in
00:20:38
other countries and mostly with the
00:20:40
Italian mafia and
00:20:42
Sicily the genovesi family held a tight
00:20:45
grip on
00:20:48
Massachusetts based in Springfield ad
00:20:51
Doo Bruno or Big Al was the boss of this
00:20:55
local faction but he committed the
00:20:57
ultimate betrayal he had become a police
00:21:03
informant snitches are very very looked
00:21:07
down upon in the criminal world uh this
00:21:09
is very prominent in the mob because the
00:21:13
way that the mob continues to be
00:21:15
successful and be organized is by
00:21:18
keeping itself
00:21:20
insulated eventually what happens as
00:21:22
they have a meeting amongst the bosses
00:21:24
in New
00:21:26
York the decision was you unanimous and
00:21:29
Freddy GS was put in charge of getting
00:21:32
the job done killing Big Al Freddy had a
00:21:36
guy that was uh called Frankie
00:21:39
roach Freddy and him were close when I
00:21:42
didn't know the kid at all when Freddy
00:21:44
said that he had him and he was capable
00:21:46
of killing Al Bruno that was the plan
00:21:48
that we went
00:21:52
with Freddy was now not only a reputed
00:21:55
mob enforcer but was also running
00:21:59
hits the scene was
00:22:02
set the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society
00:22:05
Club it's an Italian Club was uh mostly
00:22:08
Italian
00:22:09
immigrants we did a lot of surveillance
00:22:12
in and around uh La Florentina Bakery
00:22:15
and The Italian Club which is just
00:22:17
across the
00:22:18
street primarily because our targets
00:22:22
including Mr Bruno frequented these
00:22:25
spots uh both socially and for business
00:22:27
purposes Al Bruno used to play cards
00:22:30
every Sunday and we knew that and that's
00:22:32
where the plan was made for him to when
00:22:36
he was leaving the club at his card game
00:22:38
to shoot him
00:22:45
[Music]
00:22:54
then everything was in place for Freddy
00:22:57
GS to kill MAF boss Al
00:22:59
Bruno Freddy had given his orders to a
00:23:02
hired
00:23:03
Hitman Mr Bruno was inside the Italian
00:23:07
Club and uh his murderer his shooter a
00:23:11
gentleman by the name of Frankie roach
00:23:13
waited a vacant Field behind the
00:23:19
building Al Bruno was walking outside
00:23:22
this club with one of his
00:23:24
associates Frankie went up to him and
00:23:26
said hey Al I heard you were looking for
00:23:28
me I'll turned to him and said hey
00:23:30
buddy and that's when Frankie shot him
00:23:33
roach came up with a 45 and shot Mr
00:23:37
Bruno
00:23:38
repeatedly and then he went to the
00:23:40
ground and Mr roach ran down the street
00:23:43
and he died there on the sidewalk of the
00:23:47
club it was quite a a shock to the
00:23:51
entire area here the something this
00:23:53
Brazen would happen uh particularly to a
00:23:56
figure of the
00:23:59
um notoriety of Mr
00:24:03
Bruno Freddy got the shooter that killed
00:24:05
Al Bruno Freddy did give him $10,000
00:24:09
after the
00:24:10
murder it didn't matter if he committed
00:24:13
the murder it didn't matter if he hired
00:24:15
somebody to commit the murder it was all
00:24:17
about getting the goal achieved which
00:24:20
was doing way with people that needed to
00:24:23
be done away
00:24:25
with so what that tells us is that GS
00:24:28
was willing to accomplish his goals of
00:24:31
Murder by any means
00:24:33
necessary if you committed a crime and
00:24:36
you are a member of a mafia group it was
00:24:39
because your boss told you to commit
00:24:41
that crime so therefore he's guilty too
00:24:44
and they were able to come after the
00:24:46
bosses with a Cod of silence and a
00:24:49
culture of fear in the local community
00:24:51
it took almost a year before the police
00:24:54
made any real
00:24:57
progress it was was just
00:25:00
nonstop FBI State Police government
00:25:04
attention that was on
00:25:06
us we began to try and inquire as to the
00:25:11
facts and circumstances surrounding his
00:25:14
death eventually it led to uh Frankie
00:25:18
roach being arrested for the uh murder
00:25:20
of Al Bruno once Frank roach was
00:25:23
arrested fearing further reprisals the
00:25:26
police wasted no time getting his case
00:25:28
to
00:25:29
trial just prior to his trial taking
00:25:33
place literally within a day or two I
00:25:35
was given information that he
00:25:38
had agreed to
00:25:40
cooperate Mr roach
00:25:43
actually admitted to murdering Mr Bruno
00:25:46
at the behest of others he could only uh
00:25:49
name Freddy as the guy that told him to
00:25:53
kill Al Bruno and that's what he did he
00:25:56
uh he named Freddy and Freddy ended up
00:25:59
getting indicted for the uh Al Bruno
00:26:02
murder Freddy GS was finally arrested on
00:26:05
April 19th 2007 and charged with the
00:26:09
murder of Al
00:26:12
Bruno as GS awaited trial the body of
00:26:15
his first victim Gary Westerman was
00:26:19
discovered this gentleman by the name of
00:26:21
Gary Westerman who was a pretty close
00:26:23
associate of the gses we received a call
00:26:27
from an individual on a from a public
00:26:28
phone as it turned out they just said
00:26:31
basically something to the effect that
00:26:33
Westerman is dead and look no look to
00:26:36
the aot and the gses for who did
00:26:41
it and I remember the first thing that
00:26:45
we found was it was a sneaker and it was
00:26:48
actually still attached to his skeletal
00:26:51
remains so his body if you will was
00:26:53
upside down in the whole head and torso
00:26:56
down and his legs EXT standing up
00:27:05
somewhat in 2011 when Gaz finally faced
00:27:09
trial he was convicted for the murder of
00:27:11
Al Bruno but also for the killing of
00:27:15
Westerman he was sentenced to
00:27:21
life GS was transported to USP Atlanta
00:27:26
in the southern state of Georgia to
00:27:27
begin his sentence a century old
00:27:30
penitentiary which had housed Infamous
00:27:32
Mobsters including Al
00:27:38
Capone Springfield Massachusetts has its
00:27:41
own crew throughout the federal prison
00:27:44
system and they're a very dangerous
00:27:46
dominant
00:27:47
crew they don't join like you know the
00:27:50
white supremacy gangs or anything
00:27:52
they're their own crew of guys so the
00:27:55
way that the mob operates inside of the
00:27:56
federal prison is orchestrating hits
00:27:59
outside on the streets orchestrating
00:28:01
hits and murders inside of the prison
00:28:02
system and the dealing of drugs and
00:28:06
transactions on sometimes gang members
00:28:09
in crime figures they'll have more
00:28:13
protection if they have more members in
00:28:15
that prison but sometimes they might be
00:28:18
isolated might be the only
00:28:25
one Freddy GS with was soon moved to USP
00:28:29
Hazelton in West
00:28:32
Virginia arguably one of the most
00:28:34
violent federal prisons in the
00:28:37
county he joined forces with other
00:28:39
mobsters and became a figure to be
00:28:41
feared within the Prison
00:28:44
Walls Freddy uh is in a federal prison
00:28:48
and Massachusetts is known for having a
00:28:52
uh a dangerous they call it a car a crew
00:28:55
like from Boston and they're a very
00:28:57
dangerous is Dominic crew who would um
00:29:00
would kill you if you were uh an
00:29:03
informant or something like
00:29:05
that and Freddy was doing his time with
00:29:08
the crew that were there and and they
00:29:10
all stick together you know especially
00:29:13
organized crime circles and
00:29:15
everything Freddy GS had made many more
00:29:18
enemies than friends in his life now
00:29:21
Behind Bars he was going to have to face
00:29:23
some of them you know if you was a gang
00:29:26
member and I and
00:29:28
in the street you were exploiting me in
00:29:31
my business and now I come to jail I'm
00:29:34
not going to be too happy with
00:29:36
you and he was doing his time and
00:29:40
um and yeah very capable of violence if
00:29:43
it come to it life Behind Bars was
00:29:46
certainly not going to be peaceful the
00:29:49
same illicit business Freddy was used to
00:29:51
on the streets was also going on
00:29:56
inside a lot of times people think that
00:29:59
inmates are locked up they're in Secure
00:30:01
facilities and so they don't have access
00:30:03
to contraband that cannot be further
00:30:06
from the truth in my experience almost
00:30:08
every inmate has some sort of weapon on
00:30:11
hand or close by that he can use at all
00:30:13
times I have had inmates who keep razors
00:30:15
in their mouth uh I have had I have had
00:30:18
one inmate show me how to make a shank
00:30:20
out of toilet
00:30:22
paper when I went to prison my first
00:30:25
time ever was in State Prison and then
00:30:28
the second day I was there I seen a guy
00:30:29
get his head squat you know splattered
00:30:31
all over the
00:30:37
floor just a year into his life sentence
00:30:40
Freddy heard news of a new arrival of
00:30:43
interest to the Springfield
00:30:46
[Music]
00:30:49
mob Whitey balger was a notorious
00:30:53
criminal gangster that ran his own crew
00:30:56
down on the Boston area he was involved
00:31:00
in uh everything from rape and to murder
00:31:04
and
00:31:04
[Music]
00:31:06
drugs he was a rival of the Italian
00:31:10
mafia he was a powerful organized crime
00:31:13
individual and what he did was he
00:31:15
corrupted the FBI he had a close friend
00:31:18
uh an FBI agent named Conley and the
00:31:22
story is that white he provided him with
00:31:25
information about the what the Italians
00:31:28
were doing at the time and the FBI would
00:31:30
arrest the Italians and in turn uh the
00:31:33
FBI would tell Whitey buer what was
00:31:36
going on on law enforcement side with
00:31:38
him and who his informants were so he
00:31:42
could uh get rid of
00:31:45
them buer evaded prosecution for decades
00:31:49
until in 2011 he was exposed and finally
00:31:52
arrested and convicted for multiple
00:31:55
murders when he was indicted that when
00:31:58
it came out that he was an informant for
00:31:59
the FBI when he came into Federal
00:32:02
custody nobody knew who he told on but
00:32:05
everybody knew he
00:32:07
told word of this Federal informant soon
00:32:10
reached Freddy
00:32:11
GS he G he didn't like snitches he he
00:32:15
had new people that were went to jail
00:32:17
because of Whitey so he had a lot of
00:32:20
reasons to want revenge he want DB
00:32:23
revenge and kill
00:32:26
him
00:32:28
most inmates go to prison and they don't
00:32:30
you know they just do their time and go
00:32:32
home but you have your you know you have
00:32:33
your exceptions like GS who continue to
00:32:36
offend when they're in prison and the
00:32:39
typically the common denominator I would
00:32:41
say if I could pick one would be that
00:32:43
they have antisocial personality
00:32:45
disorder and or their Psychopaths
00:32:47
especially if they are the world's most
00:32:49
dangerous criminals and being in a
00:32:51
structured Correctional environment
00:32:53
really doesn't impact them at all they
00:32:55
just continue to engage in criminal
00:32:57
activities
00:32:58
that usually is an indicator that they
00:33:00
are high on psychopathy or they're a
00:33:02
psychopath Whitey buer was he was
00:33:05
arrogant he was condescending when he
00:33:08
talked people including staff and staff
00:33:10
didn't take kindly to it and he kind of
00:33:12
wore out his welcome everywhere he went
00:33:14
being a problematic inmate and they
00:33:17
decided that they were going to send him
00:33:18
to uh
00:33:21
Hazelton in 2018 Whitey buer was sent to
00:33:25
the very same prison where Fred GS was
00:33:28
serving out his life
00:33:32
sentence didn't feel like he he realized
00:33:36
how much in danger he was inside prison
00:33:39
I I think he felt like he was still in
00:33:43
charge and he was still uh somebody to
00:33:45
be
00:33:46
[Music]
00:33:47
feared cuz on the outside he Whitey buer
00:33:50
was always very
00:33:53
feared now he was actually considered an
00:33:56
informant
00:33:58
he was not a boss anymore he was a
00:34:06
Target there are certain codes and rules
00:34:08
to abide by and snitching is probably
00:34:10
the one of the top ones that you don't
00:34:13
want to go against so a snitch is viewed
00:34:16
as somebody who's an extreme threat to
00:34:19
any kind of criminal organization
00:34:21
particularly the mob so it makes sense
00:34:23
that GS was against
00:34:26
snitches
00:34:29
rats and informants have absolutely no
00:34:31
love in the prison system they're up
00:34:34
there with the sex offenders as far as
00:34:37
uh they are not
00:34:40
[Music]
00:34:44
well-liked 89-year-old Whitey buer
00:34:47
arrived at Hazelton Penitentiary unaware
00:34:50
of the danger he was in he agreed to be
00:34:53
housed with all the other
00:34:56
inmates
00:35:00
he came in in the evening the prison I
00:35:02
believe was already locked down for the
00:35:03
night so the inmates were in their
00:35:07
cells he had previously been assigned to
00:35:10
cell so the cellmate knew he was
00:35:12
coming on all immate sign paperwork
00:35:15
saying that they don't not in fear and
00:35:18
and they feel that say they safe to go
00:35:20
out into general
00:35:22
population why he came out into
00:35:24
population I don't
00:35:26
know
00:35:30
so he was actually put in the cell
00:35:32
locked in there with his cellmate for
00:35:34
the
00:35:36
night and then in the morning when they
00:35:38
opened up the cell gize was able to go
00:35:41
from his cell in that into that
00:35:44
cell for Whitey Bulger the countdown had
00:35:49
begun GS was willing to continue
00:35:52
engaging in Murder against high-profile
00:35:55
people no matter what what the
00:36:04
cost in USP Hazelton gangster turned
00:36:08
Informer Whitey buer had arrived the
00:36:11
previous
00:36:13
evening at 6:30 a.m. cell block doors
00:36:17
automatically
00:36:20
unlocked in the morning when they opened
00:36:22
up the
00:36:24
cell gize was able to go from his cell
00:36:27
in that to that so Freddy GS determined
00:36:30
to attack buer allegedly went armed with
00:36:33
the most violent weapons he could find a
00:36:36
lot of weapons that we see in the prison
00:36:39
uh will be locked tied to a sock or tied
00:36:42
to a belt and they kind of swing it and
00:36:44
hit somebody in the head with it GS and
00:36:48
his accomplices allegedly headed towards
00:36:50
buer
00:36:52
cell there's places where the camera's
00:36:54
angles don't reach the inmates know
00:36:56
where they're at and they do take
00:36:57
advantage of those
00:36:59
situations they'll they'll commit
00:37:01
attacks in those corners and a lot of
00:37:04
the times they will go unseen by staff
00:37:06
and usually will'll find somebody a
00:37:08
victim we'll find a victim after it's
00:37:09
already taken
00:37:12
place and Mr buer was subsequently
00:37:16
found severely
00:37:19
beaten and um
00:37:25
Legend gize was able to beat him to
00:37:28
death with the with the lock and the
00:37:30
[Music]
00:37:34
sock in less than 12 hours of arriving
00:37:38
at Hazelton Penitentiary Whitey bulger's
00:37:41
life had come to a horrifying
00:37:46
end when I first heard that Mr Baler had
00:37:50
been murdered I said in in strictly a
00:37:53
joking manner it was probably Freddy and
00:37:57
within
00:37:58
the matter of an hour or two someone
00:38:00
called me and actually told me it indeed
00:38:02
did involve him I was just you know I
00:38:05
was
00:38:06
shocked this was a well-planned hit but
00:38:09
GS was spotted by surveillance cameras
00:38:12
walking into buer
00:38:16
cell and leaving a few minutes
00:38:23
later the 89-year-old was unrecognizable
00:38:27
the suspect a mafia Hitman Freddy
00:38:31
Gaz words spread both inside the prison
00:38:34
and out Freddy GS was headline news
00:38:38
reputation in prison is pretty much
00:38:40
everything if you're an inmate and you
00:38:43
have a reputation of violence that
00:38:45
reputation will follow
00:38:48
you so you can put in a lot of work as
00:38:51
they say you can do a lot of stabbings
00:38:53
and
00:38:53
assaults early on and that will follow
00:38:56
you as in like hey that don't mess with
00:38:58
that guy that guy will handle his
00:39:01
business across the country Freddy gs's
00:39:04
infamy was growing
00:39:06
fast mob enforcer Freddy GS from West
00:39:09
Springfield GS beat Whitey buer to death
00:39:12
yesterday morning his eyes nearly gouged
00:39:15
out I think media coverage could have
00:39:17
been a factor with GS because he would
00:39:19
have enjoyed the notoriety he would have
00:39:21
enjoyed the feed to his
00:39:24
ego so the killing of a high value
00:39:28
or important Target in prison would gain
00:39:30
you the reputation and the respect of
00:39:33
other criminals as a badge of honor you
00:39:37
know you didn't take out an average Joe
00:39:38
you took out somebody that to them means
00:39:42
[Music]
00:39:47
something GS and his accomplices were
00:39:50
immediately placed in solitary
00:39:52
confinement awaiting investigation and
00:39:56
charges in solitary confinement you are
00:39:58
confined to your cell you cannot come
00:40:00
out unless you are handcuffed to a
00:40:03
shower or to a small
00:40:05
yard so these inmates are typically in
00:40:08
their cells most of the day 22 23 hours
00:40:11
a
00:40:13
day this was the ultimate punishment a
00:40:17
prison within the prison these are
00:40:19
inmates that continue to assault and
00:40:21
rape and murder while they're in prison
00:40:24
so they require a high level of security
00:40:26
a high level of monitoring now everyone
00:40:29
knew Freddy gs's true nature and just
00:40:32
how violent he could be something only
00:40:35
his closest Associates really
00:40:37
knew there is a level of secrecy as to
00:40:40
the way Mafia Enterprises are conducted
00:40:43
there's a purposeful attempt
00:40:46
to remain anonymous and not be too uh
00:40:50
obvious about their various criminal
00:40:54
activities Freddy had no remorse at all
00:40:57
with the um with any murder he did there
00:41:00
were people that either have killed or
00:41:03
would try to kill you if they were given
00:41:05
the chance you know if we die on the
00:41:06
streets then we accept that because you
00:41:09
know we know we took a life and we know
00:41:11
that we can die the same way and that's
00:41:13
just part of
00:41:15
it I wonder if GS even though he did not
00:41:19
rank highly in the Italian mob he
00:41:22
probably was able to justify his actions
00:41:25
as for the greater good of this
00:41:27
organized
00:41:29
crime on August 18th 2022 after almost 4
00:41:34
years in solitary confinement Freddy GS
00:41:37
and his two accomplices were finally
00:41:39
charged with conspiracy to commit
00:41:41
first-degree
00:41:43
murder you know what I mean he's been in
00:41:45
prison the last 16 years in prison I
00:41:49
think that you
00:41:50
know like that particular murder didn't
00:41:53
have to happen but you know they killed
00:41:56
him
00:41:58
[Music]
00:41:59
um you know that's their
00:42:04
decision facing trial again was not a
00:42:07
worry for GS as he was already serving a
00:42:10
life
00:42:12
sentence I find lifers in prison to be
00:42:16
very different in the sense that I have
00:42:20
had people who have come to a
00:42:21
realization that I'm serving a life
00:42:23
sentence I may as well make the best of
00:42:26
it
00:42:27
I have also dealt with patient inmates
00:42:29
who are serving life sentences and so
00:42:31
they take on this attitude as I'm
00:42:33
already serving a life sentence so I
00:42:34
really don't care what happens to me so
00:42:36
I'm going to do whatever I want to do I
00:42:38
am hurt so I'm going to hurt
00:42:47
others as of October 2023 Freddy GS was
00:42:52
incarcerated in the high Security
00:42:54
Federal Prison USP Florence admax in
00:42:58
Colorado when you get in trouble in
00:43:00
prison and you commit like a a murder
00:43:02
they ship you to like an adx high level
00:43:06
security one of the most in all of the
00:43:08
country Freddy is accused of murder and
00:43:11
Whitey polter so he got sent to the
00:43:12
worst place yeah he's reportedly in a
00:43:15
supermax prison but that has not stopped
00:43:17
past inmates who are in supermax prisons
00:43:20
if there's a will there's a
00:43:22
way I think there is absolutely a
00:43:25
potential for Freddy to commit more Mur
00:43:27
murderous acts in prison any kind of
00:43:29
violent acts actually and if you're high
00:43:30
on psychopathy and you have displayed
00:43:33
that you have committed murder in the
00:43:34
community you've committed murder in
00:43:36
Correctional Facilities there is no
00:43:38
reason why Freddy would stop committing
00:43:41
murder no matter what level of security
00:43:43
that he's at that's how you want to live
00:43:45
your life then that's your decision you
00:43:48
know everyone has a decision in life you
00:43:51
know in the fall of 2023 Freddy was
00:43:55
still awaiting trial for the murder of
00:43:57
