Quote:The 61-year-old former DEA chief said he was prepared to turn himself over to federal agents Friday on charges of conspiracy and obstruction.
“No one is sorrier than me that it came to this — after spending 32 1/2 years working for the government,” he told The Miami Herald. “But I’m prepared to fight this. I still believe in the system.”
Wot? The "system" whereby crooked DEA chiefs run drugs for elite insiders and are considered untouchable? Made men?
Raffanello has no good options. His former cronies are highly unlikely to save him now. If he reveals a desire to spill the beans, he'll end up like Jack Ruby.
The best option for him is to preserve his vow of Omerta, and have a Goodfellas style existence in sing sing.
