Part 5: Michael Franzese on Lil Durk's Murder for Hire: It's Very Sloppy Compared to Mafia Hits
Part 1: Michael Franzese Spent 11 Months in Jail with Lyle Menendez: He Told Me His Dad Abused Him
--------
Michael Franzese discussed Lil Durk's reported attempt to escape looming federal charges by flying to countries without U.S. extradition agreements. Following the indictment and arrest of five men involved in a hit, Lil Durk allegedly booked one-way flights to Switzerland, Dubai, and Italy. Although intended to flee to these countries, where extradition may be tricky, he was ultimately arrested near an airport before boarding.
Franzese shared a personal anecdote to underline the futility of such plans, recalling his co-defendant's capture by U.S. authorities in Panama, despite the absence of an extradition treaty. He stressed that if the U.S. wants someone, they would go to great lengths to secure their return—rendering non-extradition laws irrelevant in such high-stakes scenarios. The conversation also highlighted that even countries like Dubai prioritize diplomatic ties and may not risk relationships with the U.S. over a single individual.
