The mobsters in Woodbridge are nothing compared to these guys. By the way anyone watch the series about Vito Rizzuto on TV called Bad Blood? I want to check it out.
New York City’s trigger-happy underworld is on edge with the return of Mob brother No. 1, Gene Gotti.
The 71-year-old gangster was recently released after serving 29 years in prison on a heroin trafficking beef.
The younger brother of famed ‘Teflon Don’ John Gotti, Gene Gotti returns to the streets an older, balding man.
Now, gangland observers fear Gotti’s return could trigger turmoil among the city’s Five Families and what it means to their vice empires.
“The Gambinos are running smoothly — gambling, pills, construction unions, etc.,” one law enforcement official told the New York Post. “The last thing they want is someone to put them back in papers and on TV.”
Until John Gotti took the reigns of the Gambino crime family following the brazen assassination of Mob boss Paul “Big Paulie” Castellano in 1985, mobsters liked things on the down low.
But Gotti was a new kind of gangster who reveled in the publicity given to him by Gotham’s voracious tabloids.
He died in prison in 2002 and sources told the Post that since Gene Gotti was a made man and a Mob captain, the family will have to make a role for him.
The source told The Post: “(John Gotti’s penchant for publicity) set them back 30 years. They don’t want no flashy leaders, no weekly social-club meetings.”
So far it’s unclear whether the elderly mobster will demand a return to the fold and his lucrative loan-sharking schemes. Or if he will resume his role as “capo.”
“Everyone hopes he will be low-key and just make a living, but that is very un-Gotti-like,” another source told the tabloid.
