3: Crooked Cop

from Dirty Rats · host HCRN

A native of South Boston like the Bulger brothers, he handled their dirty work for a quarter century, becoming a multi-millionaire on a policeman's salary. As a decorated G-man, he made training videos for the FBI academy, which you will hear, instructing young agents how to handle organized-crime informants. At the same time, though, he was tipping his underworld paymaster Whitey to informants so that they could be murdered."Never try to out-gangster a gangster," Connolly said, but now he's serving a life sentence in a Florida state prison for a gangland hit he orchestrated in Miami.If you like this podcast, please consider becoming a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/dirtyratspod
