00:11A gang runs its territory through shady dealings, terror, and a precise code.
00:21Break this code or defy the criminal gang and your fate is sealed.
00:32Especially in Boston, where the streets are ruled by the Winter Hill Gang.
00:40Born as an improvised neighborhood gang, the gang becomes queen of the city's criminal underworld,
00:46until a secret destroys the entire organization.
00:52We present three stories of the infamous Boston Irish gang.
01:00In the first, a series of arrests makes Whitey Bulger the latest boss of Boston.
01:05It was a huge power grab.
01:08In the second, an informant pays dearly for exposing the secrets of Winter Hill.
01:14If you were a threat to them, they didn't hesitate to kill you.
01:17And finally, a secret pact between the gang and law enforcement leads to its destruction.
01:24It was one of the darkest moments in the history of the FBI.
01:31These are the stories of the Winter Hill Gang.
01:35This is Gange Criminali, the dark chronicles.
01:451972, Boston.
01:48After a decade of turf wars between rival Irish gangs,
01:53one dominates all.
01:56The Winter Hill Gang.
01:59The roots go back to Winter Hill,
02:01a working-class Irish Catholic neighborhood.
02:05They were a very close-knit, close-knit group,
02:09always looking for ways to make extra money.
02:12The leader of Winter Hill is the infamous Howie Winter.
02:17Howie Winter had a reputation as a very dangerous individual and one to be avoided.
02:23He was surrounded by people who were very loyal to him.
02:27The Winter Hill method is simple.
02:31Extort money from anyone who earns it.
02:33Most of their earnings came from extortion of gamblers and drug dealers.
02:41These were people you didn't mess with at all.
02:43If they knocked on your door asking for money and you wanted to stay alive,
02:47you absolutely had to pay.
02:50The gang's interests in South Boston
02:53are run by Howie Winter's feared hitman,
02:57James Whitey Bulger.
03:01Whitey Bulger grew up in an Irish family
03:04working class in South Boston.
03:09He had spent some time in Alcatraz
03:11and once he returned to his city
03:14he had gone back on the streets trying to make money.
03:18Whitey Bulger began to work his way up within the Winter Hill Gang.
03:23He had survived many internal conflicts
03:29and had risen to a leading role in the organization.
03:34Fear and intimidation are part and parcel
03:37of Whitey Bulger's work
03:38and the other lieutenant of the Winter Hill,
03:41Stephen Flemmy.
03:43Stephen Flemmy, known as Rifleman,
03:46he was a hero of the Korean War
03:48and had a marked inclination towards violence.
03:50Stephen Flemmy was a kindred spirit to Whitey Bulger.
03:57Both appreciated the value of violence.
04:02They were ready to kill anyone
04:05just to get whatever they wanted.
04:08Whitey Bulger and Stephen Flemmy have ambitions
04:11that go beyond working for Howie Winter.
04:15They want the whole of Boston.
04:17And they're willing to do anything to get it.
04:271974.
04:29Winter Hill focuses on a new racket.
04:32Rigged horse racing.
04:35Winter Hill threatened, intimidated
04:38and bribed the jockeys.
04:41They selected the best horses from all of them.
04:44Then they asked the jockeys to hold them back during the race.
04:47and finally they bet on the other horses.
04:51But they don't just try to convince jockeys to lose.
04:55They also involve horses.
04:58There was a horse named Spread the World.
05:01He was trained to deliberately lose in his early races.
05:05This is how the prices changed
05:07and in the following races he won.
05:11The gang made a lot of money from it.
05:15In just over a year
05:16Winter Hill makes a million and a half dollars.
05:20Over nine and a half million today.
05:23It wasn't fancy, but it was effective.
05:27With operations on multiple runways
05:29the horse racing scam
05:31It's a guaranteed success for Winter Hill.
05:34But Howie Winter's bet
05:36it could backfire on him.
05:411979.
05:43Boston.
05:44Winter Hill is making millions of dollars
05:46fixing horse races
05:48and so far he's gotten away with it.
05:52After a two-year secret investigation
05:54FBI arrests 20 gang members
05:58including boss Howie Winter
06:01but there is one surprising omission.
06:04When the indictment came
06:06two people were missing from the list
06:09and that is
06:10Jimmy Bulger
06:12and Stephen Flemmie
06:13Many at the time wondered why.
06:17When Howie Winter is sentenced to ten years
06:20Whitey Bulger
06:21makes his move
06:22to become the boss.
06:25Whitey said to himself
06:26this is my chance.
06:28Not everyone wanted to follow Whitey
06:30but
06:30there was no other choice.
06:33Even if Whitey controls
06:35the most powerful Irish gang in Boston
06:37Winter Hill
06:39it's still second
06:40to the Italian mafia in New England
06:42managed by the Angiulo brothers.
06:45Jerry Angiulo and his brothers
06:47they had a lot of power
06:49and they earned a lot.
06:50the FBI was determined
06:52to make them fall.
06:54In 1981
06:55the FBI succeeds
06:57dismantling operations
06:59of the New England Mafia
07:01in Boston.
07:02This gave Bulger and his
07:04the opportunity to take over
07:07in some of those activities.
07:11In 1994
07:12Bulger has a fortune
07:14of 50 million dollars
07:16resulting from extortion
07:18and other rackets.
07:19In a few years
07:20goes from being
07:22a simple executor
07:23to Boston's new boss.
07:27Anyone who challenges him
07:28discovers quickly
07:30the cruelty of that world.
07:401984
07:41Boston
07:42The Winter Hill
07:44collaborate with a local fisherman
07:46to traffic drugs
07:48from South America.
07:49Whitey Bulger
07:50start using boats
07:52even for a project
07:53parallel
07:54arms trafficking.
07:57Bulger was proud
07:58of his Irish origins
08:00so he started
08:01to send weapons
08:03to the IRA
08:04the Irish Republican Army.
08:08LIRA
08:10had the goal
08:11to force
08:12Northern Ireland
08:13to separate
08:14from the United Kingdom.
08:16Bulger shared it
08:17and wanted to help them.
08:19At the beginning of September
08:21a fishing boat
08:22in Valhalla
08:23set sail
08:24for the Irish coast
08:25with a load of weapons
08:27million dollar
08:29that Winter Hill
08:30intends to donate
08:31to the IRA

08:36crosses
08:37another vessel
08:38the Marita En
08:39on which they come
08:40transfer the weapons

08:43but Marita En

08:51he is arrested
08:52a real failure

11:21Stephen Flemmy
11:23he handcuffed
11:24McIntyre
11:25hands and feet

12:23what they wanted
12:26officially
12:27John McIntyre
12:28he is missing
12:29but the police

12:35and Flemmy
12:36they knew
12:37which was
12:37an informant
12:39was under

12:48killed
12:49it's not like that
12:51that should go
12:52Soon

12:55Winter Hill
12:56have known
12:57of collaboration
12:58by McIntyre
12:59with the authorities
13:00and what comes
13:01to know
13:02it shocks
13:03Boston
13:121984
13:121984
13:15the FBI
13:16celebrates
13:17the fall
13:17of the boss
13:18of the mafia
13:18Italian
13:19of Boston
13:22but it seems
13:23less interested
13:24to pursue
13:25the new organization
13:26criminal
13:26dominant
13:27the Winter Hill Gang
13:32Bolger
13:33and Winter Hill
13:34they were involved
13:35in murders
13:36robberies
13:37and in many other crimes
13:38practically
13:39every activity
13:40illegal
13:41imaginable
13:42nevertheless
13:43they continued
13:43to act
13:44with impunity
13:46they seemed
13:47operate
13:48to the light
13:48of the day
13:49but nobody
13:50he was doing
13:51absolutely
13:51Nothing
13:52but behind
13:53the scenes
13:54the investigations
13:55on Winter Hill
13:56pipelines
13:57from the police
13:57state
13:58of Massachusetts
13:59from the police
14:00of Boston
14:01and from the DEA
14:02they find
14:03an obstacle
14:03unexpected
14:04every time
14:06that it was about
14:07by Bolger
14:08and Flemmi
14:08the investigation
14:09he was coming
14:10compromised
14:11the FBI
14:11he protected them
14:12Then
14:13in 1990
14:15the unit
14:16crime
14:16organized
14:17of the police
14:18of state
14:18of Massachusetts
14:19start
14:20an investigation
14:21independent
14:22on Winter Hill
14:23Gang
14:24we knew
14:25that there were
14:26many bookmakers
14:27who paid
14:28directly
14:29the two of them
14:30we thought
14:32that following
14:33the money
14:33we could have
14:34organize
14:35wiretaps
14:36telephone
14:37or place
14:38some bedbugs
14:39in places
14:39frequented
14:40from
14:40Bulger
14:41and Flemmi
14:42thus expanding
14:44our
14:44investigation
14:45the investigators
14:47they make progress
14:48until they receive
14:49the order to share
14:50the information
14:51with the FBI
14:54from that moment on
14:56the investigations
14:57they started
14:58to go badly
15:00it seemed like
15:01Bulger and Flemmi
15:03they were always there
15:03one step forward
15:05and that they knew
15:06to be
15:06intercepted
15:08Despite
15:09the difficulties
15:10in January
15:11of 1995
15:12the police
15:14of Massachusetts
15:15has evidence
15:16sufficient
15:16to incriminate
15:17Whitey Bulger
15:18and Stephen Flemmi
15:19the plan
15:21is that the police
15:22of state
15:22you capture Flemmi
15:23while the FBI
15:24has the task
15:26to arrest
15:26Bulger
15:27we found
15:29and arrested
15:30Phlegm
15:30then we said
15:31to the FBI
15:32to proceed
15:32with Bulger
15:33but they
15:34they answered us
15:35we don't have it
15:37when Whitey Bulger
15:38disappears from Boston
15:40one wonders
15:41how he did it
15:42to know
15:43of the operation
15:46January 5th
15:481995
15:49Boston
15:51the police
15:52of Massachusetts
15:53arrest
15:54the associate
15:55of the Winter Hill Gang
15:56Stephen Flemmi
15:57but its leader
15:58James Whitey Bulger
16:00he succeeded
16:01to escape
16:02to the FBI
16:03the question is
16:04how did he do it?
16:06according to some
16:07Bulger
16:08he had been warned
16:09of the impending indictment
16:11in 1997
16:13Stephen Flemmi
16:14tells
16:15like him
16:15and Bulger
16:16they succeeded
16:17to get rid of
16:18of the competition
16:19and to conquer
16:20Boston
16:23working
16:24with the FBI
16:26Phlegm
16:27he went ahead
16:28to the judge
16:28and he said
16:29you can't blame me
16:30the FBI
16:31he was aware of it
16:32but they passed
16:34more or less
16:34two more years
16:35before the FBI
16:36admitted
16:37that they were
16:38two informants
16:40Phlegm
16:41declares
16:41that the relationship
16:42with the FBI
16:43it goes on
16:44for over 20 years
16:45since
16:46they collaborated
16:47to have him arrested
16:48Howie Winter
16:48and the old guard
16:50of the band
16:51was
16:52a huge one
16:53seizure of power
16:54Bulger and
16:55Phlegm
16:56they also have
16:56provided
16:57information
16:57on the activities
16:58of the Italian mafia
16:59of New England
17:00and in exchange
17:01the FBI
17:02he closed
17:03an eye
17:03about them
17:04suddenly
17:06it was explained
17:07How come
17:08had remained
17:09unpunished
17:09so long
17:11but the relationship
17:12with John Connolly
17:13the agent
17:14of the FBI
17:15who manages
17:15Bulger
17:16it doesn't make sense
17:17unique
17:19it turns out
17:20that Connolly
17:21he received
17:22cash and gifts
17:23by Whitey Bulger
17:24in exchange
17:24of information
17:26including
17:26the identity
17:27of the informant
17:28John McIntyre
17:32they didn't control
17:34Bulger and Flemmi
17:35it was them
17:36to check
17:37the FBI
17:37Connolly
17:38pay
17:39for his
17:39corruption
17:40in 2008
17:42he is sentenced
17:43for murder
17:43second degree
