John Gotti essentially worked his way up
the Gambino crime family and became a celebrity across the United States and
the world. At one stage Gotti was receiving fan mail and he had large numbers
of supporters appearing at court hearings. Each time Gotti was declared
innocent the crowds would celebrate. Gotti was seen as a Robin Hood figure,
giving back to the poor.
Gotti rose from poverty and the lower ranks
of the Gambino crime family to eventually heading the family in 1986. John
Gotti had amazing power and total control and he was one of the most powerful
persons in the United States and across the globe during his time in power.
Gotti was nicknamed the ‘Teflon Don’ due to
his ability to beat charges. However after being serious charges on a number of
occasions the Government increased resources to track and monitor the head of
the Gambino family. As a result John Gotti was caught on a wire tap according
to various documentaries and media sources and this led to his conviction. He
was convicted to a life sentence and eventually passed away in prison in 2002
due to various forms of cancer. Gotti is still well known and the Gotti family
are famous.
