John Gotti was a notorious American mobster who became the boss of the Gambino crime family, one of the most powerful Mafia organizations in the United States. Born in 1940 in the Bronx, New York, Gotti rose from a tough, poverty-stricken upbringing to become one of the most feared and influential figures in organized crime.
Gotti earned his reputation for ruthlessness and ambition early in his criminal career, quickly climbing the ranks of the Gambino family. In 1985, he orchestrated the assassination of then-boss Paul Castellano, allowing him to seize control of the family. Gotti's leadership was characterized by a return to traditional Mafia activities, such as extortion, loan sharking, and drug trafficking.
Known as "The Teflon Don" due to his ability to avoid conviction despite multiple trials, Gotti became a public figure, often seen in expensive suits and enjoying media attention. However, his high-profile lifestyle eventually led to his downfall. In 1992, Gotti was convicted of multiple charges, including murder and racketeering, largely due to the testimony of his underboss, Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Gotti was sentenced to life in prison, where he remained until his death in 2002.
Gotti's life and career are emblematic of the rise and fall of the American Mafia, marked by power, violence, and ultimately, the relentless pursuit of justice by law enforcement.
