"Junior" Gotti held without bail after the man who insisted he had retired from a life of crime was arrested on charges linking him to three killings and large-scale cocaine trafficking. (Aug. 5)((New York)) It's another round of the F-B-I versus the Gotti family. The feds picked up former Gambino crime family boss John "Junior" Gotti at his home on Long Island Tuesday morning. As part of a RICO criminal conspiracy indictment, he's charged with cocaine trafficking, jury and witness tampering, and, most seriously, say prosecutors: ((Robert O Neill, U.S Attorney)) "The murders of three men in Queens and Manhattan back in the late 1980s and 1990s." Gotti's lawyer Charles Carnesi says his client will plead not guilty. ((Charles Carnesi, Defense Lawyer)) "Q: wa
s he ordering these hits? A: absolutely not, he had nothing to do with this." "Junior" Gotti is the son of late Gambino boss John J Gotti, who was nicknamed the Teflon Don, because of how he kept beating federal prosecutions. His son has a similar record: hung juries each of the last three times the government has put him on trial. The feds ultimately put Gotti Senior behind bars for life, and they hope to do the same with junior, who claims he left the mafia lifestyle behind in 1998. "The mob has accepted the fact that he has withdrawn and now it's just up to the FBI to come around and reach the reality of it." The new charges were brought in Tampa, Florida, where federal agents said the crime family had a foothold, and where the government has apparently found some cooperating witnesses. ((Steven Ibison, FBI)) "When you violate the federal law today, tomorrow or 20 years ago, the FBI and its law enforcement partners will pursue the matter to its logical conclusions." But Gotti's lawyer cast dou
bt on any new witnesses. "Why would some nobody drug dealer in Florida, why would he be possessed of this information?"In court Tuesday, a judge ordered Gotti to remain behind bars until he's transferred to Florida.
