Gotti's Boys

Más información sobre el libro

Meet the men who murdered for the mob and made John Gotti the most powerful crime boss in America. Known as the "Teflon Don," Gotti's reign over the Gambino crime family was marked by a staggering array of charges, including gambling, extortion, racketeering, and five murder convictions. He surrounded himself with a notorious group of contract killers and enforcers, creating one of the wealthiest crime empires in history. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano delves into Gotti's inner circle, revealing the chilling actions of these remorseless figures, feared even by other Mafia families. Among them are Charles Carneglia, the brutal enforcer known for disposing of bodies in acid; Gene Gotti, who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling operation; Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero, the loose-lipped killer caught on FBI wiretaps; and Tony "Roach" Rampino, whose unsettling appearance struck fear into enemies. Notably, "Sammy the Bull" Gravano, the underboss who helped orchestrate the assassination of Gambino boss Paul Castellano, ultimately turned against Gotti. Other notorious figures include Frank DeCicco, Vincent Artuso, and Joe "The German" Watts, who wielded significant power within Gotti's crew. This gripping account brings to life the violent world of Gotti's Boys, the ruthless soldiers who executed their leader's deadly commands.
