Detroit Mob Confidential explores the history of Detroit's La Cosa Nostra Family, which, in many ways, is the most successful crime family in the United States. Detroit's family has had only 2 Dons, the current boss has served for 30 years and is the longest serving mob Don in America.

The Detroit Family was the first LCN chapter that had members convicted of corruption involving Las Vegas casinos, and has been the target of the FBI's still ongoing Jimmy Hoffa investigation since 1975. The formation of the family during the prohibition era, culminating in the "Crosstown Mob War" of 1930 is covered, as well Detroit Mafia connections to the battles between Ford Motor Company and the UAW in the 1930's and 40's.

The Detroit Family's role in the international heroin trade and their ties to the French Connection are discussed as well as various murders the Federal government suspects them of involvment in. Detroit area underworld legends like Tony "Jack" Giacalone and his brother Vito (Billy Jack), Freddy "the Pope" Salem and "the General" Henry Hilf are covered, as well as the Denny Mclain, Alex Karras, and Isiah Thomas gambling investigations.

In addition to law enforcement and media sources, former associates reflect on the past and their work with Detroit Mafia members in sports gambling and other criminal activities. Several hundred unique and never-seen-before surveillance photographs from Federal law enforcement are used as well as family photos of Don Joe Zerilli on his Grosse Pointe estate.

"Detroit Mob Confidential" is the first and only documentary made about America's most secretive, and most succesful Mafia family. Beginning in 1912 and finishing in 2009, "Detroit Mob Confidential" is a must-see DVD for any student of American History, crime buffs, and Detroiters of all ages and backgrounds.

$20 M’s in cold hard cash is what you will get from the US government if you can snitch on the location of all 4 of Los Chapitos, El Chapo’s sons who are “in the game”, at the same damn time. $5 Million each.

After El Chapo Guzmán's arrest in January 2016, extradition, life prison term , the sons known as "Los Chapitos" — Iván, Jesús, Ovidio, & Joaquín — have taken over at least part of his old business. This is the first time the US has offered a reward of $5 million for each of the sons. The US announcement accuses them of being "high-ranking members of the Sinaloa Federation." A likely source of information about their importance and how they operate may have come from their “step-mother”- who is younger than all of them- Chapo’s wife Emma Coronel. Just a few months back she pled guilty to three federal offenses as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors. She also surrendered $1.5 million.

The charges include knowingly and willfully conspiring to distribute h, yayo, MJ, crystal for several years. She also pleaded guilty to a money-laundering conspiracy charge and to engaging in transactions with a foreign narcotics trafficker.

She also helped buy land for the tunnel and smuggle Guzman's messages to his subordinates while he was in prison, which allowed him to stay in control of the Sinaloa cartel while behind bars.

According to the Feds, the Chapitos have "expanded their enterprise with sophisticated fentanyl laboratories" and increased their use of maritime and air transportation for smuggling, according to the US State Department.

Olivia and Mia Flores are married to the highest level drug traffickers ever to become US informants. Their husbands worked with--and then brought down--El Chapo, as well as dozens of high-level members of the Mexican cartels. They had everything money could buy: luxury cars, huge houses, and expensive jewelry--but they chose to give it all up when they cooperated with the US government. They knew that life was about more than wealth; it was about love, family, and doing what's right. Cartel Wives is a love story, a "Married to the Mob" story, an insider's look into the terrifying but high-flying empire of the new world of drugs, and, finally, the story of a major DEA and FBI operation.

This is the marketing blurb for the book “Cartel Wives” published by the wives of the infamous Flores Twins of Chicago- who were two of the key turncoats in the conviction of El Chapo- while they were in hiding and their husbands were in the witness segregation wing of the Federal prison system… which probably meant a halfway house type environment much different than a normal Federal Prison.

Now when criminals write their own stories or have it packaged up by Entertainment professionals it becomes very sanitized. The blurb claims that their story is about “love, family, and doing what’s right”. Now that’s about as accurate as Rick Ross and Jay Z posing as former Narcos. Laughing emoji.

Not that the Flores families don’t have love or family bonds… but its definitely always about the money first and foremost in the world of serious gangsters. Never ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

Now, last year I actually had an hour long phone conversation with one of the Flores twins and his wife- I was in Chicago and someone put me on the phone with them in whatever place they were relocated to, and we talked… mostly about their “fairytale romance”, how they were enjoying “normal suburban life” wherever they were at, and how they wanted to make a positive change in their community. Now, all of those things are probably true to some extent or another, but, even after “doing the right thing” and learning “that money doesn’t buy happiness”.. It turns out they were still spending dope money on lavish trips and material items. Though they did pay their kids school tuition, and ironically, paid off their own student loans.
