True Crime

Mick Gatto. Gambler. Underworld veteran. Melbourne gangland survivor. Made into a household name Australia-wide by the hit television series Underbelly, in his autobiography, Mick Gatto finally reveals the man behind the headlines. The son of two Calabrian immigrants, Gatto tells of his inner-city upbringing and his professional heavyweight boxing career, to his apprenticeship with one of Australia's best safe-breakers. He takes us behind the gambling industry, to his fourteen months in jail awaiting trial for the murder of Andrew Veniamin. Here is Gatto's story. It is an extraordinary insight into a colourful and mysterious world, with its own codes, loyalties and treacheries, that few of us even know exist.
