Criminal Record | John Gotti: The Notorious Crime Boss Who Ruled New York City @CriminalRecord_ | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Following the death of Paul Castellano in 1985, John Gotti became the leader of the Gambino crime family. He was known for his flamboyant public image and haughty feeling of unreachability. He was dubbed the Teflon Don because of his ability to avoid conviction by employing every trick in the book, from jury tampering to witness intimidation. Still, he wasn't popular with other mobsters, who thought he was far too flamboyant and aggressive in his exploits; he put too much heat on their businesses.
His reign at the top was brief but eventful, and it left an indelible mark on the mafia and its culture. His reign as a boss lasted only 5 years before he was sentenced to life in jail, but he continued to control the family through his son and brother Pete. The Gotti family ruled the Gambino Crime Family from 1985 to 2010, but their fortunes are only a fraction of what they were in the 1980s.
The now-Velcro Don was imprisoned for the remainder of his life. In 2002, he died of cancer. After his demise, his brother, Peter Gotti, took over the Gambino family, but he was only in control for a year before being captured and imprisoned for racketeering.
