Overview
Vincent Rizza is the father of Pia Rizza of the reality series VH1 Mob Wives Chicago. He was a long-serving Chicago police officer well known for his controversial activities as a member of “The Outfit”, a Chicago division of La Cosa Nostra AKA The Mob. Today, he's famous for becoming a “mob rat”, who was a government witness in the trial of his fellow mobsters.Vincent was born in 1950 and is known to have resided in Brooklyn, New York for the large part of his life. Later, he became a dirty cop in Chicago before the US government took him to a secluded location under the Federal Witness Protection Program. The current residence of Vincent Rizza is not documented, but rumor has it that he's been seen around Brooklyn, NY.
In short, you can describe Vincent as a man who knew too much about The Outfit and was willing to tell it all to save himself. Since he wasn't a La Cosa Nostra “made man”, he simply didn't care about the code of honor known as omerta.
