Mafia Wars: The Godfather of Two Worlds

on BBC One London

In Bermuda, a Learjet lands with millions of dollars in smuggled heroin profits... In Miami, a Mafia hitman guards a heroin shipment with a shotgun that fires nails... At a safe house in New York, guarded 24 hours a day, a Mafia boss talks...

Once, Tommaso Buscetta was called 'Godfather of two worlds' - overlapping crime empires in Sicily and America. He was suspected of major heroin deals.
According to Mafia legend, he could kill, then visit the opera as if nothing had happened. In a war for control of the heroin trade, rival Mafia chiefs ordered his sons murdered. The vengeance Buscetta planned was simple - and unique. He would destroy the Mafia. In the first of two parts,

Mafia Wars documents the murderous feud that engulfed Buscetta - and how his betrayal of the Mafia destroyed the most lucrative heroin network in history: the Pizza Connection.
