   • What Mob Life is REALLY Like - Michae...  

Michael Franzese, former Colombo crime family captain, recounts his life in organized crime, driven by loyalty to his father, who was imprisoned for 50 years. Initially a pre-med student, Franzese joined the mafia in 1975 to help his father. Over 20 years, he faced numerous legal battles, avoiding conviction despite multiple arrests.

His life changed after meeting his wife, Camille, a Christian woman who influenced him to leave the mob. He served eight years in prison, then became a public speaker and author, sharing his story and faith. Franzese describes a turbulent childhood marked by law enforcement surveillance and the impact of his father's criminal activities on his family. Despite challenges, he maintains an entrepreneurial spirit, now running businesses in wine and pizza.
