The 23-year-old grandson of notorious New York mafia boss John Gotti has agreed to a plea deal which calls for him to serve an 8-year prison sentence on drug charges.
The Dapper Don’s namesake will also have to serve five years of supervised release and forfeit over $250,000 of money from his illegal activities. The young Gotti was busted on two separate occasions last year starting with a traffic stop which resulted in possession of methadone, oxycodone, and other drug charges according to the NY Daily News report. He was later busted in an NYPD drug sting called “Operation Beach Party” for selling oxycodone in both Howard Beach and Queen’s Ozone Park.
“John Gotti”
According to the report, cops raided the Howard Beach home where the former Gambino crime family boss once lived finding 500 oxycodone tabs and approx $40,000 in cash. Prosecutor’s claimed that Gotti and other members of the drug crew were selling Oxycodone pills for anywhere from $21 to $50 a piece. As part of the plea deal, Gotti agreed to plead guilty to criminal possession and the sale of a controlled substance and conspiracy. Both Gotti’s were taken down by authorities with the aid of a hidden listening device the elder Dapper Don’s placed in the Ravenite Social Club and the younger Gotti’s in his Infiniti sedan.
Gotti’s grandson admitted his involvement with dealing drugs and according to his defense attorney was planning on confronting his addiction and was pleased with the plea agreement. His attorney Gerard Marrone said “We are happy,” said Marrone. “It’s a fair disposition. Look, he took responsibility for his actions.” The young Gotti joins a family tradition it seems of imprisoned family members including Gambino family boss John Gotti, his brothers Gene and Peter, and his son John (Junior) Gotti. There have been no indications of the younger Gotti having any links to Cosa Nostra.
NYPD got to use a Gotti must of been smiles all around even though this time it wasn’t exactly a “mafia” geared highlight. You would think with his family history he would have known better but then again , well …
this is only news cause of his last name. low to mid level prescription drug dealer.
Ya sounds like a Gotti to me. No common sense.
Definitely … I mean he has to know that name alone is still a target to many in law enforcement in that area.
true he is a nobody a wannabe whos family are millaironies did not need to do this but did because he wanted to be like his grandfather and john for all his faults as a boss would be turning in his grave if he saw how much of a idiot this kid is
only gottis left on the streets Richie senior and Richie junior gotti both made guys soldiers last I heard. Vinny gotti is inside for having a baker shot in 2002. Gene gets out next year with johnny carnelgia gene was a real gangster johnny carneglia aswell
As you mentioned they are well off so it makes this even worse.
I doubt Cali will let gene become active.
I assume this is victorias son?
ya smart move pay gene off and put him on a shelf somewhere . the feds have a hard for anything last name gottI as seen in the above txt lool
I cant believe what I am reading here the man just did 40 years you don’t shelve him its complete disrespesct for a real gangster and stand up guy you don’t just shelve people for doing what is expected your rewarded I dont think you guys understand the streets most guys today flip over everything they would be lucky to have Gene he is last of a dying breed of gangsters
if he wants to earn or even have stripes he will get it if he does want to get back involved he will probably work with Anthony gurino who runs that crew these days I think he will get back involved for some of these guys its all they know. This does not effect Frank Cali aswell why would he care you guys keep forgetting how big this family is 200 made guys according to the Feds in 2013 if Gene comes out and starts earning does not effect Frank only people who can link him to anything are capos.
you took what I said in the wrong way i should have not used the woRd shelved! I think he is entitled to BIG money. I think he should retire and be giving an envolope once a mouth. I just think gottI is to high profile and by him being active it’s gonna draw way to much fed attention . he did his time like a man he should be allowed to retire rich
I think some people like Frank could distance themselves but if gene wants to earn he will be allowed some guys in the Howard beach crew would want to take him back plus has a younger brother and nephew still involved.
He would attract but he is a standup guy which a lot today are not
I personally think he will retire but we will have to wait and see
Nobody’s giving up an envelope once a month. He’ll get a coming home present that s it. There already is 3 Gottis’ active in that family, what’s another one.
At 70 I’d be curious what his mindset is. he might want to retire. I’m sure he’s broke, and the street has changed tremendously. I doubt he’s getting much money from Gambinos, I’ve always heard they essentially turn their back on you in prison. In terms of money. These guys are greedy.
most guys would be broke but he could be one of the exceptions as recent as 2002 the FBI said he had a loansharking operation taking in 20k a week. He had been in prison for over 20 years by that point a lot of guys have loyalty to him that Howard beach crew. Also in 2007 the Feds said I think at Joe watts trial that Gene had been communicating with him. WIll be interesting Gene I don’t think ever married or kids he is 70 hates most of his own family prison tapes I think were played at junior gotti trial he was complaining about junior saying he was a disgrace junior used the tapes in court to show he was no longer involved in the life
Johnny carngelia I am interested in does he really want back in his 70s his brother is doing life without parole and he has a wife kids and grandkids now. His brother Charles was crazy
How did he have a loansharking operation in 2002 while he was in prison?
Ya that’s impressive. That’s truly loyal guys on the street
according to the feds I think it was at joe watts trial. he had guys on the streets making sure he took a cut of the profits the whole 20k did not go to him I will try and find the article it was a long time ago . a lot of guys visited him all the time even in 2007 there was some describing him as an unofficial consigliere he became increasingly angry at the family in the 90s and early 2000s he felt junior was out of his depth pete shouldn’t even be a made guy let alone a boss and vinny was a scumbag who him and john banned for years how he got made and the trouble he caused with that stupid baker shooting
I always learn something from your post!
hi guys, I enjoy reading your posts! I have question on the post from ‘the mafia’: what about the other gottis (richard and the son)? how’s their standing in the family?
Richard Gotti sr was released a few years ago he had previously been a capo before the bust he is no longer a capo he went away for a few years he moved awhile to Pennsylvania he got arrested out there charges were dropped for attacking a women also at his son joseph gottis funeral he and his ex wife I think started fighting over the burial junior gotti had to break it up. Some say he was active others have told me he Is retired as for how he is seen within the family he was the dumbest out of all the gottis stand up guy but not very smart there is a reason him and pete the older brothers never reached john there younger brothers height some considered him to be an idiot but he is respected he was a stand up guy like all of the gottis excluding junior whatever you think of them they paid there dues
Richard Gotti junior is a soldier he is was released a couple of years ago he is active in his 40s did some heavy time for his involvement in the baker shooting it was vinny gottis plan but he was involved he has done some serious time since 03 he has been out of of prison for four years he is respected a stand up guy also at a age where he cant really retire he is still young in mob terms. Vinny gotti I think might also out of prison now his standing is different he is a real scumbag disliked by a lot of people before he went away gene and john banned him in the 80s and 90s junior gotti aswell only gotti who went near him and gave him his button was peter in a desperate attempt to keep the gottis in power vinny was out of his depth that gay rat wore a wire on him. No idea how he is getting on has done some serious time being a standup guy does count especially when a lot of people flip these days in his 60s my advice would be to stay far away from him but who knows
thank you!
no he is john gottis younger brother he is in his early 70s why would he stop gene literally don’t understand where people get this sort of thing from I don’t think you understand the streets or Cali the guy just did 40 years for the family him and johnny carneliga the man has respect and still power on the streets in 2002 the FBI said at trial he still had loansharking operation and the Joe watts investigation in 2007 found he still has influence still has guys on the streets this man is a legend. Gene is one of the most respected guys alive more respected than frank when was he ever tested? Why would Cali shelve him aswell don’t know why some people get this idea that its only zips there is probably 20 made guys in the whole family that are actually siggs there is 200+made guys for a reason if guys like Danny marino are allowed back in gene will be allowed back in. Gene also disassociated junior from the gotti family. Plus Richie junior and senior are both soldiers. Also your forgetting Frank came up with Jackie the nose who was very close to the gotti crew he will have good words for gene john Gambino used to be genes supplier and he is related to Cali
Gene I think will get stripes then again that’s if he wants back in. Gene will be welcomed with open arms one of Frank Calis street bosses and now capo of the Howard beach crew today is Anthony Gurino who used to work with gene he is a stand up guy will be welcomed back with open arms. Cali if he really wants can just stay out of it let gene earn and stay with that crew does not need to even meet him but why would he go out of his way to shelve him its just ridiclous
I was referring to john the grandson in terms of Victoria, I know who gene is.
That’s my guess because the Gotti name is too hot. Could I be wrong? Of course, I’m just speculating like most here. 🙂
Frank Cali himself might want to distance himself but actually shelve him? No chance franks reputation would be hurt badly
Howard beach crew would take him back with open arms him and johnny carneglia but I think the most likely is Gene just retires does he really want to get back involved
This is Peter Gotti’s (Dapper Don’s son) kid. Victoria also has a son named John though.
Frank Cali will not. John Gotti Sr. unsanctioned hit on Paul Castellano allowing drugs did the Gambino crime family wrong. To much time in media spotlight is what led him to being convicted. John Gotti Jr. son is wanting the same. Idiot.
I understand that he’s the grandson of John Gotti, but him not being a mobster makes this totally uninteresting to me.
