Episode 2: Marisa Merico (The Mafia Princess)

Welcome back to The Criminal Connection Podcast with your host, Terry Stone!
This week we have a very special guest, The Mafia Princess, Marisa Merico. Merisa is the daughter of one of Italy's most notorious Mafia Godfathers, Emilio DiGiovine.
She's not only an accomplished writer, journalist, and a captivating storyteller but also the daughter of one of Italy's most notorious Mafia Godfathers, Emilio DiGiovine. Prepare to embark on a journey through a life filled with intrigue, secrets, and the determination to break free from a legacy of crime.
Marisa Merico's life story is a gripping narrative of transformation and courage. Growing up in the shadow of organized crime, she faced unimaginable challenges and dilemmas. But rather than succumb to the dark allure of her family's criminal empire, Marisa chose a different path-one of truth, redemption, and self-discovery.
In this candid conversation, Marisa shares her personal journey of breaking away from the Mafia's grip, her relentless pursuit of justice, and her dedication to shedding light on the underworld's darkest secrets. Join us as we delve into the complexities of her family's legacy, the struggles she faced, and the profound impact it had on her life and choices.
Marisa Merico's story is a testament to the power of resilience, the strength of the human spirit, and the capacity for change. Her unwavering commitment to exposing the truth and seeking redemption makes this episode a must-listen for anyone fascinated by tales of redemption, true crime, and the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
Whether you're a true crime enthusiast, an advocate for justice, or simply someone who values stories of transformation and resilience, this episode with Marisa Merico promises to be a captivating and thought-provoking experience. Tune in as we unravel the legacy, one story at a time, with our remarkable guest, Marisa Merico.

[@user-lt5gj1zk6d]

Frank birley was extremely dangerous man in his own right would’ve liked to hear a bit more about him? That would be a good film.

[@edborris6934]

Frank didn't do enough to make a film about. He spent far too much time in jail he wasn't a very successful criminal career. As a man he was sound loyal could be violent but he wasn't a killer. Sadly Frank never lived enough to write a book about. Had he still been alive today I am sure they would be books and a film he certainly would of become a big player in organised crime throughout the country. RIP 🙏🏽

[@user-lt5gj1zk6d]

What he done in jail and leeds alone would be a blockbuster pal

Terry some off ya podcasts are not coming up brov

[@Hemingway651]

Great podcast intriguing guest, comes across very down to earth and humble, feels like the truth and if anything shes probably holding some stuff back for fear of incriminating someone. Considering the life she was born into, influenced by family at such a young age which no doubt she felt ahe had no choice other than to follow in their footsteps and probably made her the person she is today, however, had she not gone through such an experience i think shes intelligent enough to have succeeded in some other capacity, hence the criminology degree

[@CriminalConnectionPodcast]

Couldn't eat rabbit for decades due to experiencing a similar thing. Playing with the rabbits, going for a family walk before Tea and coming back to see my new "pet" getting despatched by my Uncle. Just ate me polenta, plain...in a "rebellious" preteen huff!

[@paulnicholson474]

That happened in our family our pet rabbit 🐰'Snowy' never able to eat it since

[@muchachomiercoles8632]

What made it worse; back in England, it took me eating a few of me mothers "chicken" casseroles to realise it wasn't made with chicken. Spitting out the occasional shot pellet, gave it away. Brings a smile to my face, now... rural Spanish mothers are a crafty bunch.
