Mob Serial Killer ‘Sammy The Bull’ Released From Prison After 15 Years Behind Bars (5 Years Early)
Radar Online ^ | Dylan Howard

Posted on 09/20/2017 3:12:19 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The notorious mob boss was released five years early from an Arizona prison on September 18, and will remain on federal parole for life, a spokesperson for the Division of Offender Operations, Special Services Unit confirmed to Radar:

The 72-year-old was serving a 20-year sentence for buying and selling the drug Ecstasy after a 2002 conviction.

In the early 90’s, he was notorious for turning on his mafia family and helping the government bring down his former boss, John Gotti, in exchange for a generous plea deal.

As part of the deal, Gravano confessed to murdering a shocking 19 people — including his own brother-in-law! His testimony helped put at least 36 mobsters behind bars.

He entered the witness protection program, but left in 1997 to release a tell-all about his life of crime.

Gravano’s daughter, Mob Wives star Karen Gravano, 45, may have hinted about the early release, as she posted the cryptic message “only a matter of time” on August 12.

Earlier this week, she claimed she was in Arizona — perhaps visiting her famous father.

Lost all his hair, now, though:

This photo was from when he went in.

Sounds like he did more to combat organized crime than the feds did.

A mere piker compared to the Clintoons and the victims of their Arkancide program.

Well, and I don’t know the details, but I suspect that most of the 19 people he killed were Mobsters. Because that was his job.

Reminds me of a joke ... Why doesn’t the mafia like jehova’s witnesses? The mafia doesn’t like ANY witnesses.

You would think that on the outside there are plenty of capable people who would like him dead.

Seems like they’re quite successful at it as well.

They have agents placed all over. Nobody can pulls off the stuff they do and get away with it. It’s amazing.

The Clinton Foundation is one of the most ridiculous sell-outs of the U.S. Gov’t in history. An obvious operation where favors are established in relation to “donations”.

And liberals pretend it’s all legit.

He says 19, but I’ll bet he’s not admitting to all of the additional, ‘Hillary Hits.’
