Starting Out As An Associate

Gotti would end up becoming close friends with Gambino underboss which would help move him up the ranks in the Gambino Crime Family.  Gotti and Dellacroce shared similar interests and would hang out at the Ravenite Social Club where mob activities would be discussed. This was a point in Gotti’s life in which he showed that he was an enforcer and a man not to be messed with, although he wasn’t a made-man yet. In 1957 the mob closed the membership books and they weren’t to be opened again for some time.

In 1973 Carlo Gambino’s nephew, Emanuel was murdered and Gotti was assigned as part of the hit team that was going to take out the main suspect who was an Irish-American mobster called James McBratney. Two other men in the hit squad were Ralph Galione and Ruggiero, but the hit went wrong, as they were meant to kidnap McBratney however the event ended with Galione shooting and killing McBratney. Due to a rat being on the inside Gotti was arrested for the murder in the mid ’70s, but with the help of his attorney, he managed to reduce the sentence to a manslaughter charge which resulted in a four-year sentence.

Family Misfortune Hits John Gotti

During the early part of the 1980s, Gotti lost his youngest son Frank at the young age of 12 after he was killed accidentally by John Favara, a neighbor of the Gotti’s in minibike accident. Although the courts ruled the misfortune like an accident, Favara had just killed the son of one of the most feared men in the Mafia and eventually, he disappeared, feared dead. The Gotti’s had the perfect alibi however, at the time of the murder the family was on vacation in Florida.  Many believe that John Gotti planned the killing, which was later considered a high possibility in a TV interview with Gotti’s other son, John Gotti Jr (who also joined the mob as an associate).

John Gotti Becoming The Gambino Boss

Gotti became very angry that the likes of Paul Castellano were running the show as boss of the family, and he argued the fact that Castellano was nothing more than a businessman and hadn’t paid his dues on the streets. Add to that the greed and isolation that Castellano put himself under and it all built up to a nasty finale.

In 1984, Paul Castellano was arrested and indicted in a RICO case, and not more than a year later, a second indictment came his way for his role in the The Commission. It was at this point that Castellano was facing a lengthy prison sentence, and already at the age of 70 it would have seen him spending his last years locked down. As a result, John Gotti was promoted to acting boss alongside Thomas Bilotti (Castellano’s favorite Capo). However, by now Gotti had already started talks with Sammy Gravano, and other unsettled family mobsters to take out Castellano. The group of five called themselves The Fist and had the full backing of other bosses-in-waiting from as well as Joseph N Gallo, who at the time was the consigliere.
