Reporter if you happen to be at the corner of 21st and passyunk just before christmas, or at the corner of 11th and jackson two weeks ago, you would realized right off the bat that the philly mob is back. Fox 29 undercover cameras were rolling as one of citys most powerful wise guys George Borgesi emerged from mob social club in south philly. Hey, george you got a minute . Who is it . Want to ask you a couple questions. These guys are hanging out together and business together none of that is prize surprising. Reporter borgesi has been out of prison just over year and has been the center of attention in south philly for months now. Hanging on street corners with fellow weiss guys in deep discussions with high ranking mobsters like acting mob boss joe ligambi or reputed under boss steve mazzone. Hes obviously a player. Hes in the middle of all of this. Reporter early january, there was borgesi again with mazzone in dominic grant dee walking talking near the new clubhouse at 11th and jackson. A week earlier more than 20 weiss guys and wanabees gather the there. Socializing and hanging out. Again, not something borgesi wanted to talk about. How about the guys hanging out . You dont want to talk. Look, in this live Everybody Needs friends. Attorney edwin jacobs who led the defense team in the last half dozen mob trials says theres nothing suspicious going on here. Its not the least bit surprising upon release from custody any of them would seek out and couldnt grew gate with their friend. Quite natural. Despite lengthy federal prison sentences experts agree the mob is back stronger than ever. Given the guys who have come back from prison and are back out and about, you probably in the 25 to 30 maybe thrive and we havent been that high since the end of the scarfo era. Theyre doing the right thing. Its good to have a wide circle of friends. Good to be a member of the community. Reconnecting with people with whom they committed crimes doesnt body well for rehabilitation. Dave, the former head of the organized crime strike force in philadelphia. He too believes the mob is back to the mid 1980 strength. Eerie retired from Law Enforcement now. Im sure the people who are still there are concerned about it and im very confident that theyre going to be watching closely. Reporter federal and state investigators believe ligambi still oversees the rei surveillance yet philly mob. Over 30 inducted member are back on the street. Sources say several new mobsters were recently inducted into the local family. While the overall numbers are strong, insiders say theyre divided in four factions. One headed by ligambi, one by former mob boss joey merlino and another by convicted wise guy Phil Narducci but of nicky scarfo mob in the 1980s a fourth faction is said to be loyal to joe punk tour another convicted scarfo mob captain. Whose the boss and who wants to be the boss . I mean, you know, joey merlino is very clever that way and if i had to take a bet id say joey still the guy in charge. Sort of seems to me that the federal Law Enforcement authorities look at the godfather one and two as a textbook and its not a textbook its a screen play over investigated, over indicted, over tried simply overblown. Thats a nice statement for somebody to make on behalf of the people who are paying him to be their paid poll gist. With all these made members of the mob on the streets here in philadelphia youre probably wondering what are they doing to earn money these days . Theres no doubt theyre peace of pie has shrunk considerably. But the 2016 version of the mob claims theyve got legit. You talk to people. Theyre legit. Theyre legit. Theyre legit. These guys have a track record. Theyre legit, sure. You wanted to business with them . Thats on you. Reporter its no secret the Home Building and home renovation business is booming in philadelphia from Northern Liberties to south philadelphia. Construction can be seen on almost every corner in some neighborhoods. Contractors and Building Supply companies can barely keep up. All that building caught the local mobs eye and now theyre building renovating and flipping homes. Interesting thing were hearing is that theyre getting involved legitimately in reconstruction, rehab, mortgage reefy. Reporter remember that meeting being run by borgesi back before christmas . Well, that took place at the south philadelphia headquarters of a Real Estate Company in a local mortgage company. They buy homes, renovate them and try to flip them for handsome profit all legit. Just not something borgesi wanted to discuss with fox 29 investigates. Just want to ask you a couple questions. About real estate. Good for them. Im glad theyre in business. I hope they make lot of money. If they do, i hope they offer me a partnership interest. Id like to be able to get into that real estate boom. Theyre certainly enterpris enterprising and they look for opportunities to make money. Hes doing legitimately, god bless him. Well see. Borgesi is not the only one doing. Convicted mobster joe, owns properties all over philly including one of these newly renovated row homes on south second street. Bought it for 200 grand early last year and renovated it. It listed for sale at 629,000. Good work clearly pays off. Anastasia said that may be so but theyre a love eyes on all of this. Down the road, everybody is watching, and if they cross that line, the feds and the state police and the local Police Expect them to eventually cross that line, cause thats who they are. Theyll be prosecute. I think they ought to be applauded, not scrutinized. Not investigated. Reporter sources say state and federal investigations are keeping a close eye on the bulging mob ranks and their endeavors. Joey merlino has been bouncing in and out of time. He made an appearance at a now Years Eve Party in packer park with ligambi. He join Close Friends during the mummers parade on new years day all reported on social medial the mob is still getting headlines not just the ones proclaiming their down fall. Investigators are wasting there time and taxpayer money. We dont have enough money to run our government. That which we do have in my mind would better be spent on protecting our borders from international and domestic terrorists. Thats true but youre in the city, and you get in a situation where youve got a problem with these guys, then they become the terrorist you got to deal with. You dont make new members if youre going out of business and enterprising criminals dont join an organization that they think going nowhere and falling apart. Dave schratwieser, fox 29 news. All right. Interesting. Heres howard with a look whats coming up in sports. I want to get one of those homes before i have to sell it. All right. Eagles started to make sure they will keep their core players on the team. One of the starting players on offense has little more money today. He wasnt selling homes and he will be here for while.

A lot of guys would love to have sam back. Jordan and myself in particular. Yeah, the eagles have players they want to make sure they sign. Zach ertz is one and he wants sam bradford signed and back as the quarterback. Especially since ertz signed a bigtime deal that will keep him for quite awhile. Ertz signed a fiveyear contract which keeps him here another six years fiveyear deal worth 42point mill but the important numbers the guaranteed money and ertz will get 20 million guaranteed. Ertz drafted in three years ago in the second round coming in with chip kelly as the new head coach at that time. How much did chip kelly mean to his numbers and his career . Chip pushed me in ways arent reflected in numbers. I think my blocking has progresseprogressed these thee o levels i wouldnt have reached it if werent for him and coach peel. Those guys push me to be player i definitely wasnt when i first came into the league but on the field and off the field. I owe lot of my success and a lot of my future success to coach kelly. Zach ertz made another point today saying was money was not a driving force to the deal. He wants to play his entire career here. Be around for a championship.
