- John Gotti - News Reports (1985-92)
John Joseph Gotti Jr. (October 27, 1940 - June 10, 2002) was an American gangster and boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City.
He ordered and helped to orchestrate the murder of Gambino boss Paul Castellano in December 1985 and took over the family shortly thereafter, becoming boss of what has been described as America's most powerful crime syndicate.

"in a dispute over a double parked car" is a quintessentially New York City phrase.
12:00 the sound of those kids playing in the streets is so surreal to me. You don’t hear that sound too often anymore in the inner cities. But could you imagine being a kid growing up playing in little Italy next to John Gotti’s social club? That’s pretty cool imo. The safest neighborhood around.
Absolutley.
Until you get recruited
@@milkboccle then you’re even safer. So long as you follow the rules
@@milkboccle The Mafia didnt force anybody to join them
@@ElJefe-47 it’s like the army. Follow orders. Keep silent. Mind your own business. And maybe you’ll live. 😅🤐
“Well I don’t think they have to prove guilt or innocence with him anymore, that case is over” 😂🤣
That got me too...lol
That cop had a sense of humour lol.
VERY 1990's law and order type commentary 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! Back when people didn’t take everything so literal and personal ! If he would of said that today then people would be protesting saying “ mob lives matters” 🤣🤣🤣
Facts! I was screaming 😂😂😂
Omg I love your channel. My heart explodes with nostalgia. Thank you.
Great upload!! Love the footage
Thank for posting this 👌💯
I remember when a lot of these clips originally aired.
I was a kid.
Quality as usual 👍
Your channel is awesome, keep em' coming!!
Your channel is awesome, please can you stop put that commercial at the center of the screen an put it some where else. 🙏🏻👏🏼👏🏼💙💛💙🇸🇪 nice job
Amazing videos!
Great video…id put my watermark on it too lol. You put a lot of work into this. Ive never seen so much footage like this. Great job.
It's not even his video. It's just a clip from the news
He was sentenced to prison the morning I was catching a flight out of San Diego to go see my father dying in Virginia in April 1992.
Was the last time I heard anything about Gotti. Was the last time I saw my father
😥😥🙏😇
Sorry about your dad. RIP to him.
RIP to your Dad...RIH for this low life mobster. H = Hell
the life of a mobster is a violent life. it is also, a scary life. some of them have a lot of power, but usually for a short time, until someone knocks them off, or they get in the slammer. sometimes a lot of money, power. it ain t worth it, man.
And sometimes they are boss for literally decades and hardly go to prison. It’s how you run things. John was brazen. Too bold.
Or somebody knocks them off in the slammer, it’s an unforgiving life.
@@wq198mnr Finally someone with vision! It's just like a normal job, you make too many mistakes and you don't last
Just today i saw a photo of Big Paul's 17 room "White House" on twitter. Hey, it's a great life for a short time, until he got whacked. And if he was killed he was gonna for sure do 135 years in prison in the commission trial.
A great job. But the retirement plan sucks
@@davidprice7162 Big Paul is no example at all... he was a bad leader with good intentions. Now mr. Carlo Gambino.... Not a single night in jail, named a family, lived to old age and was respected by the earners and the gangsters.

There wasn't a day that he didn't look dapper. When he was outside, he was always dapper. He truly was the "dapper don" John Gotti.
John Gotti the dapper don looked dapper. He looked dapper everytime he went out. Dapper John Gotti looked. He was the dapper don. Everytime he went out he looked dapper. He was dapper, was John Gotti. Dappy dap dapper. Dappy don he looked. Dapper.
Dappidy dap dap
He was also the fckn idiot that brought down LCN
Paper Don. The Paper Don. Looking Paper over there Don. Hey Don nice Paper. Look at the Paper Don. He’s the Don of Paper. If Paper was a Don he’d be the Don of all Paper. How’s the Paper Don? Don of Paper how you doing? What’s goin on with the Paper Don?
@@Beto-pn6rl - you got that right!
Killed the guy who hit his son.
Even though it was his son's fault.
RIP to the child
Gotti never ordered the Hit that killed that Man Sammy the Bull did the killing out of RESPECT GET THE FACTS CORRECT
@@henrylecomte5811 are you basing that off the series. How do you know a control freak took no part in it.
@@henrylecomte5811 Stop trying to justify ANYTHING out of it, they were all backstabbing fkn losers, Daughter, Son, Gravano and his Wife, Daughter the whole 9 yards.....Ecstasy much? LOL

@@henrylecomte5811 not true. Sammy wasn’t even with the Gotti crew at that time. Sammy joined Gottis crew only after the hit on Paul. Charles Carneglia killed John Favara. You learned today that Hollywood makes stuff up🤷🏻
Classic material ! ✔️
Great stuff.
John always looks so funny in these news reports while walking to court. He has this expression on him as if the title of mob boss just fell into his lap and he was the unfortunate one who has to carry the title 🤣
whaddya gonna do?
He had a dicky walk too coz of an old hockey injury 🥚
@@MUFC1933 a crate fell on his foot while hi jacking out of Kennedy airport,also Def in one ear after a gun being fired next to his head.
He was a narcissistic moron who loved the spotlight which basically made the fbi go after him non stop
No. Not at all, does he have that look. DIPSHIT
In the HBO movie GOTTI
John gotti is walking out of court and says”
You know why the public loves me? Cuz I’m beating a system that fucks them everyday”
That’s so right. I don’t respect the law enforcement. I fear it
You can bet if he didn't say it on camera they'd had him on one the tapes saying it in private or what he thought was private lol.
Ya but the mob was fucking over legit business too. Extorting them
Yep they hate compitetion it's ok to screw all the tax payers but not ok for one guy to beat the system our goverment biggest mobsters of them all they don't care about crimes its about power look at Sammy the bulI admitted he killed 19 people got how many years ??cause he made a deal with them
Probably the most iconic gangster of all time. Every single “stereotype” cartoon mob boss was easily based off this man as well as that image in media. When you think of a mob boss you either think of a Don Corleone or a John Gotti persona. The first one was obviously being the one that has the better overal representation/image.
They don't always get it right, he was what the media made him no matter what he did privately.....if u want a conviction , put it out in the media.....
Him, Al Capone and Luciano are easily the most iconic gangsters when it comes to the MOB.
The stereotypes came from Al Capone. There's a voice recording on CZcams, listen to it
capone was more iconic
Underneath it all, they were mostly low
IQ dopes. Nothing at all like the way Michael Corleone was portrayed. According to the feds, the majority of these guys were basically morons.
Street smarts mabey. But let's face it, when you choose a life that's pretty much guaranteed to end in death or life in prison, you're not looking at a very intelligent person.
Now u got Sammy telling bed time stories on CZcams . Bet Gotti would never get his head round that
I don’t get how he’s so accepted, and has all these views. He straight ratted on Gotti and the rest of them. His excuse was Gotti was going to rat on him, but was facing life and didn’t rat
surprise the guy still alive after all these years ..
@@vladimirputinforUSA because it’s entertaining and interesting - no one gives a fuck who ratted on who 30 years ago
@@javiertabora3547 yup, alive and well right here in Phoenix. Honestly, it’d be hard for anyone to clip him, considering the FBI has eyes on him wherever he goes now. FBI will watch him until he passes because of the ecstasy ring
@@vladimirputinforUSA "Ratting" doesn't mean much to most people. It's forgotten that all these other guys broke their oaths too, in other ways. Everyone just remembers those who cooperated
Additionally, I don't think Gravano claims Gotti was going to rat on him. He never would. He wanted Gravano to take the fall, so that Gotti could remain on the streets as the boss. That's quite a significant violation of their lifestyle, even if it isn't "ratting". Not to mention all the other damage he did
This footage is incredible.
Nice find brother
Salute.
Wanting to play Al Capone was a big mistake.
John had the makings of varsity athlete
Love classic news clips nostalgic
A great job. Great wages, lots of fringe benefits. But man, does that retirement plan SUCK.
and no hazard pay
"The last of the Mohicans" Victoria Gotti sure got it right on the nail 💅 👏 👍 👌 😀
You really believe that? The mob will never die. As long as there's money to be made in drug sales etc. There always gonna be there.
The older American accent sounds a lot better than it does today! sounds more english like.
If you listen to a Devonian accent (the English county where the Pilgrim fathers set sail) you'll understand where the American accent comes from.
I remember that night in December that Paul Castellano was killed. We were working in the city. Rip John Gotti
3:14 Gotti let a finook cut his hair?
It must've been the medication he was on for his blood pressure.
It's cool, he got a note from his doctor
Who is Binge watching These?
Peter Gotti: “Think he’s on drugs!” 🤔😂😂💀
At 12.00 John looks really pissed off getting out of car after that meeting someone went missing
I remember all this on the news, wondering whats up.
Were u 3?
I was a kid and fascinated by it even then.
28:12 My father is a great Plumbing Salesman. They don’t make a great Plumbing Salesman like him anymore🤣
As she waves her huge "man hands" in front of the camera.
Yes i will agree like Thousands of other people, the history of the American mafia is very intriguing, but that being said it's a shame if your Italian or Italian American like myself alot of people will stereotype or associate us with the "mafia" in one form or another, because Italian American culture as a whole is alot more positive and intriguing than those particular individuals!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
The people truly loved Gotti, in ancient times he would have made a good king.
@bla bla bkeh - Are you for real?
Gotti didn't have the makings of a varsity athlete.
😊
It’s hurtful
Chin Gigante disagreed enough to car bomb Gotti's underboss in retaliation.
small hands that was his problem
This must have been a golden era for the other 4 families in New York - remember that scene in Die Hard 3, the kid says "take a look around, there ain't a cop around - it's Christmas, you could still city hall"?! Must have been what it was like for them while John was going through his numerous trials and all eyes were on the Gambinos.
Not really. This was a bad time for the mob.
@@MOBFAX fair enough. I've done a fair amount of reading up on the mafia, but I'm very far from knowing intricate details, so I guess my ignorance shows here. 👍🏾
Also yeah, I should have thought before I spoke - this video mentions the sentencing of Persico and Salerno to 100 years each.
@@bazil83 No worries. It’s just an opinion.
@@bazil83 It wasn't a good time, considering this was when law enforcement really started doing its job. But it was the worst for the Gambinos, because of all this. In the time between 1980 and when Gotti went to prison, I think they went from being the largest and most successful family to an absolute mess. The Bonannos did have a good time here though, considering they missed out on the Commission Trial heat and associated indictments. Donnie Brasco was actually an easy hit to take compared to what was coming next for everyone else
Oh go steal a horse since you like big ones.
RIP Mr. Gotti ! Eventually the REAL criminals won against you but you stood your ground, never bend, never cooperate and took your punishent as mans man.
@Glenn Quagmire You would piss in your pants standing front of him funny guy.
@Glenn Quagmire people who post the comment can't delete it only the video creator can
Gotti played massive role in decimating the mafia in NY, mob fans should remember that before worshiping him
@@shaneodwyer6132 What massive roled he played ? The families were already decimated at the comission trials at 1985. Gotti never rolled, cooperated or testified against anyone. He took secrets of LCN to the grave. He was a stand up guy, last of his kind. True he made mistake talking about past crimes and got caught on tape but that would not been enough evidence to indict no one...................that why the REAL and worst criminals made a deal with Gravano.
@@pedrochimp5155 Testify against who? He was running it all, he's the one they wanted to prosecute.
The juror who basically stated “he doesn’t look the part…” 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
Almost every single night at supper time from the time I was 11-18 right here condensed into 32min. That's insane.
Can somebody get their hands on the gotti wire tap recordings? I know snippets are out there but where are the unedited tapes? If someone can get those it would be awesome
1:03 that laugh is savage!
If I was a gangster from NYC I would be a member of the Gambino Family or the Bonnano family.
You would be a member of whichever crew got their claws in you . If you like shooting go with the Colombo’s on 13 Ave If you like card games you go with the gambinos on 18 Ave . The other family’s where moreover low key and it was hard to know where they hung out . Good luck. Perhaps you will be a crime boss one day
Genovese would be my preference💯
Died handcuffed to a hospital gurney. OG Legend. 'You never Rat, you zip it.'

@@spenser6353 BS!!
@@justinlecroy3579 not bs. As if the Feds were gonna ask him to talk and let him walk🥴. What rock did you crawl out from under😂 Your defending Gotti is really over the top. You should ease up on making it look so obvious.
Gotti was a total user. He got his button after performing a very messy hit in front of dozens of witnesses while posing as a police officer😂 After that pathetic display he quickly shied away from doing hits. He refused several hits after this one but was allowed to because he filled Neil and Paul’s pockets with drug money. He used Ruggerio for the drug connection and used associates to distribute the drugs into the neighborhood streets. Gotti simply put his hand out and collected. He used Sammy to get him out of jail several times and to do the hits that he was clearly incapable of performing. Gotti would not of been the boss if it were not for Sammy setting up the hit on Paul as it was known that Gotti was afraid of doing jail time and used others to perform all of the operations for him. Gotti stopped doing hits as he had others do that for him, had others deal drugs for him and had others bribe jurors for him. It’s why he desperately wanted to be the boss like Castelano and not lift a finger but rake in all the money. He simply was a selfish user that got rackets and a no show job handed to him early on when he had some balls to go with his half a brain.
@@ghytgb what Mob bosses do their own hits?
The barber looks like John Oates lol
Oh lol yes
Gerald shargel he’s a great lawyer he’s a really great talker I enjoy listening to him
Maybe the best of his generation, along with Albert Krieger 😉
Remember him being on Geraldo CNBC show during OJ
They should of whacked Big Paul after his meal at Sparks. They should have allowed him a delicious last meal at least. Lol.
Im sure the one that disliked, is a retired cop
Or a Sammy fan
What happened to all his beautiful clothes. Such a well dressed man and handsome too.His funeral was people lined up for miles and flag. He did something right.
Nice footage of Tommy Gambino and John. Fun fact: Tommy is alive and well, free and enjoying his millions
Castellano's sons are also rich business owners who never spent a day of their lives in prison. Ultimately it was the so-called white collar faction of the family that had the last laugh.
Because they evolved unlike their brute counterparts
That NYC Detective. . LOL Oh I miss those days and those old timers. "That case is over"
Where everybody was white who's now someone of color.
John Gotti had been on the radar so long before he was the boss I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did remember willie boy Johnson had been giving info on him. True gangster walked it loved it and took his punishment like a man
Love the yellow ribbons. 😀
What Gambino did to Anastasia came back to haunt him from beyond, Carlo being as astute has was, should’ve realised that making his cousin Paul the boss would’ve caused problems with the young Turks in the family who supported Neil.
In all reality it was Don Carlo that brought down the family by making Paul the boss!
After Carlo did that... The Genovese Family made a series of power plays in Philly, Atlantic City, & w/the DeCavalcantes to become #1. No doubt about it. The Chin, Fat Tony Salerno, & Frank 'Funzi' Tieri were some serious-assed guys!
@@matthewrider5906 Totally agreed, the Genovese Family were in a class by themselves !
@@bobcosmic I consider myself an amateur Cosa Nostra buff, & they really don't call em the 'Ivy League of the Mafia' for nothin'. They were feared, the Genovese Family! Gotti, in all his $2000 Italian suits, the hand-painted ties, the perfectly quaffed hair, feared a man in a tattered bathrobe who most folks really believed was a lil crazy! That bothered Gotti. But the Chin's a stone cold killer, no doubt about it. And in Sammy Gravano's own words, "you had to be a serious guy to be around Chin." This lets me know that Fat Tony & Funzi were heavyweights & killers, too. The Genovese Family really did run things, now that it's all out there.
@@matthewrider5906 Remember that the Genovese family is the legacy of the Luciano Costello relationship. I think that says it all !
Da buzinees, as always 👍

Wow, Rudy Giuliani at 1:49 looks so different from 9/11 to 1985.
I hate Giuliani
This is a good one, di second in command broke di code of honor.
While underboss Sammy De Bull snitched, we’ve had the case of a boss Anthony Gasspipe Casso, snitching on his family.
No one cares
Sergio Techini is making a huge comeback!
Why can't we all just get along and be friends
Great view of the club and the naighnorhood with the mobsters....👍👍👍👌👌
Teflon underwear to orange jumpsuits 🤣🤣🤣
Everybody think it was the fame that took him down but honestly it wasn’t, if they never got those tapes in the apartment above his club he would’ve got off again. The tapes are even the reason Sammy flipped. without those they wouldn’t have had anything.
Agreed. Without informants giving the government the location where Gotti went to talk privately , there wouldn’t be any tapes. If the government wants you, it’s just a matter of time before they get you. The FBI has all the time, money and manpower on their side. Informants and cooperators are the icing on the cake.
Well, it's actually true that the attention got him, the reality is just a bit more nuanced than "fame". He publicly embarrassed the government by being acquitted so many times due to fixed trials, and was basically thumbing his nose at them like he was untouchable. This made them want him really badly, more than any other gangster. They may not have found out about the opportunity to bug the apartment if they weren't so dedicated to getting him.
@@liambeamer1883 what was Gotti supposed to do???? Plead guilty and quietly go off to die in prison. If you beat the federal government in court , not once but multiple times, your name can be JoeBlow Nobody and the govt is going after you until they get the results they want.
@@southie3177 gangsters have been walking free on fixed verdicts forever. It was his attitude that made them want him so badly. All other bosses, at least from older generations, would have taken the not guilty verdict and gone quiet, which is how you're expected or supposed to act in that life. They'll still come after you, you're still the boss, but you're no more a target than any other boss. He made himself and the family the primary target for about 3-4 years
@@liambeamer1883 people are blaming Gotti for being hounded by the media. He didn’t have a press team or a publicist. It’s NYC tabloid journalism and the mob has always been front page news. They’ve been hounding gangsters since Luciano was boss.
19:33, ahh the good old early 90s I'm suing somebody.
I wouldn't' call John Gotti as being part of the Young Turks, cuz of young he didn't have a thing.

Wanna know a real gangster? Look at Michael Franzese...he’s the only one that never snitched, never did any big time, made millions-if not billions-, then left the life WITHOUT going into witness protection and is still alive to this day. He’s a preacher, motivational speaker, life coach, and author...
Alot of real gangsters didn't snitch thats why they ain't never coming out of jail, we only know of the ones that did snitch, also around the time of the video I believe The Chin was the strongest they were just quiet about it and not out in the open like the Gambinos
He didn’t testify against norby walters? Lol 🤦♂️
@@swizzybk1665 he didnt technically testify. Norby Walters was using his name when Franzese was in jail. Franzese testified that he had nothing to do with Walters since he got locked up. Walters didnt spend a day in jail. The FBI stated that Franzese never testified against anybody. He knew lots but said nothing and served his time
@@paulcurtis5317 he also got a bunch of Russian mobsters locked up. I’m sure he’s a very like-able guy these days but all you need to do is look it up it’s public record.
