Grand Jury Issues New Charges Against Gotti
- Share via
A federal grand jury charged John “Junior” Gotti with committing a series of mob-related crimes in the last year, despite his claims that he quit organized crime years ago.
The new accusations come as prosecutors prepare for the July 5 start of Gotti’s third trial on racketeering charges. Juries deadlocked at two previous trials.
The new indictment alleges that Gotti tampered with a witness last year and used money earned illegally through the Gambino crime family to create and operate holding companies used to buy real estate.
