0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Beantown's True Crime podcast.
0:11.7	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.
0:16.8	There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.
0:26.4	Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence
0:38.3	Investigations.
0:39.3	If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact.
0:45.3	If I can't help you personally, I'll certainly direct you to the right person or agency.

1:35.8	So what they were doing, these two murders that Perverso committed with his gang, I guess you
1:42.2	can call them, were in furtherance of a criminal organization,
1:47.3	just like the mafia, in this case, MS-13. And everybody in that RICO case took guilty,
1:55.0	please. If you're a U.S. attorney, and that's basically a district attorney at the federal level.
2:01.5	That's a super win.
2:03.2	So good job on that RICO case.
