WNBC Reports: John “Junior” Gotti, who has renounced the mafia life of his famous late father, was arrested Tuesday morning and is expected to be charged with three past mob-related hits.
FBI agents nabbed Gotti, once head of the Gambino crime family, at his Oyster Bay, Long Island home and whisked him to Manhattan federal court for a hearing on murder conspiracy charges, law enforcement sources said.
Officials say these murder conspiracy charges stem from an investigation by Tampa federal prosecutors into a former Gambino drug ring that operated in New York, New Jersey and Florida.
Federal authorities have been investigating Gotti, 44, for years, undeterred by three failed attempts starting in 2005 to convict him for allegedly ordering a 1992 attack that injured Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. After those mistrials, federal authorities focused on the mob scion’s finances in what his attorney called a “fishing expedition.”

I have a feeling that he’ll find a way out of this. Then again, Hakodosh Baruch Hu is the ultimate decision maker!
Throw him in the slammer and lose the key.
Can anyone in YWN explain why this “news” is included in your daily reporting or its relevance to our community? Does it ever occur to the editors of YWN that there’s such a thing as “wasting” the precious time of your readers?
Your right. Get lost, and find another website to read.
Its amazing that you are constantly criticizing YWN about their choice of news, and ridiculing the editors.
Why not get lost? Just go. Go on your merry way.
YWN Editor, please continue posting good stories, and ignore immature infants such as these.
#3 you are right. I dont see why this story has got to do with the “Yeshiva World”….the goyim have no life…
hscohen1, unless it affects you directly, it’s not newsworthy. Perhaps we should all be saying t’hillim instead of wasting time on the internet.
Jojo u rock …
I thought he was already tried on the Sliwa thing??
jo jo is right, YWN is for kosher leisure reading. doesn’t make a difference what they write as long as its kosher and entertaining.
His Father, John Sr., gave a lot of Tzedaka.
