But this video is about something much worse. In fact, it is the most extreme case of police corruption we’ve ever seen. A whole string of murders in New York where the killers that detectives were supposed to be looking for… were themselves.On the evening of November 6,1990, 48-year-old Eddie Lino was driving home after finishing work for the day. As he neared Brighton Beach, an unmarked Crown Victoria sedan fell in behind him and flashed police lights. Lino pulled over, expecting nothing more than another routine encounter. Two men approached, badges visible, so he lowered his window. One plainclothed detective asked him “What’s that on the floor?” As he looked down, he was shot nine times at close range and left slumped inside his car. The two shooters returned to their vehicle and vanished into the night. But the perpetrators of this murder, as well as many others, were not killers impersonating the police, they were the police.Detectives who not only worked for a secret crime organization, they killed for them.Sources:Michael Cannell, Blood and the Badge, The Mafia, Two Killer Cops, and a Scandal That Shocked the Nation, published in 2025https://amzn.to/4tsUDLVFBI, Mafia Org Charthttps://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/mafia-family-tree.pdf/view Allthatinteresting, The History of the New York Mafia’s Five Families, From Their Formation In 1931 To Where They Stand Todayhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/five-families Learn more about your ad choices.

A tragic accident left a young man unidentified, and for 20 years, no one could figure out who he was. With only a few belongings and reconstructed images to go on, the case went cold—until Reddit users pieced together the clues and uncovered the truth the police couldn't. This is the incredible story of how the internet solved a decades-old mystery.Uploaded 18-01-25✨ You can support us by joining our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVQGtUcRjHTQLTTu-5s9_4Q/joinBig thank you to our supporters ☕️Rain, BSL 🐖, Witchy Honeybee, Heartmeister2003, Jar, Novozájmena, Lordvasile (Richard L), LORNE, Mateus Lopes, Tygressrose, 이호근방송, Kai Games송, Kai GamesSources: https://rentry.co/tdammt9i[Music Licensing]Code: OBKRR8F0DOOIFUUU Learn more about your ad choices.
