VITO COLLUCCI

Vito Collucci was an undercover drug investigator who like Billy Chase was undercover inside drug organizations and the Mafia in Connecticut, he rubbed elbows with the same corrupt cops, politicians and gangsters that Billy Chase was bringing down. Vito decided to go after the systemic corruption inside Connecticut Police Departments who had been infiltrated by the Gambino Crime Family. His investigations uncovered wrongdoing in 8 City departments that included a police sergeant running the largest drug ring in Southern, Ct. Fifteen City and state officials resigned or were fired. What happened in CT reverberated far beyond the city and state, and it served as the catalyst for Ronald Reagan’s initiative against the American Mafia and the establishment of the President’s commission on organized crime.  Learn more about your ad choices.

With the story we are telling, the elements that resonate as it pertains to Billy Chase, was that the deeper he got undercover, the more he started to unravel mentally. In a City like Bridgeport, Billy had targets, he had prey that he wanted to get at all costs. One of those targets was Mariano Sanchez, the leader of the powerful Number 1 Family. In order to understand the Number 1 Family and in order to understand the streets I went directly to an individual who worked the street corners for the Number 1 Family. When people watch television shows or movies that take place in the drug world, a lot of times the stories create caricatures, when you talk to someone that lived the life up close and personal the nuances of what happened become more clear and concise. Joel Gonzalez has lived inside Bridgeport all of his adult life and his point of view was different from anyone you have heard thus far. Learn more about your ad choices.
