Скачать или смотреть BURT KAPLAN | Revealing His Dark Alliance with Gaspipe Casso and the Mafia Cops

Burton “Burt” Kaplan, a Brooklyn native with a Navy background, turned to a life of hustling and crime to support his gambling addiction. After a string of failed ventures, Kaplan became an associate in the Lucchese family and developed a close partnership with Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso. By the 1980s, Kaplan was running a $10 million dope ring and working with two infamous NYPD detectives, Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, known as the "Mafia Cops."

From 1986 to 1993, Kaplan acted as the middleman between the Mafia and the corrupt officers, delivering $4,000 monthly bribes in exchange for police intel. This collaboration led to fatal consequences, including the terrible Christmas Day rubout of an innocent man mistaken for a mobster.

In 2004, Kaplan cut his 27-year prison sentence by testifying against the Mafia Cops, leading to their convictions. Released in 2006, Kaplan died in hiding three years later, leaving behind a complex and controversial legacy in organized crime history.
