Summary

Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins interviews former Gambino associate Robert Borelli about his life as an understudy to Anthony “Fat Andy” Ruggiano in the Gambino family. Gary learned that a young Robert Borelli witnessed a mob murder and refused to talk or testify. After he went to trial as part of this murder charge, he was found not guilty. When he returned to the streets, he was lauded as a real stand-up guy and taken into the crew of Nicky Corrazo. It was after Robert Borelli became addicted to narcotics and was on his way out of the Mob’s good graces and into a life of prison and worse that he is converted to Christianity. Robert Borelli has a book titled The Witness: A Tale of the Life and Death of a Mafia Madman. Robert can be contacted by clicking this link.
