Left: Junior Gotti - Right: Gotti Sr
Three members of the Gotti family other than John Senior became well-known in the media.
- Peter Gotti, one of his brothers. He took over the Gambino crime family after John Gotti’s son Junior decided to retire from the organization and stay away from authorities. He ran the Gambinos between 1999 and 2005, then he was arrested and convicted. He is currently serving a prison sentence and should spend the rest of his life in jail. New York Magazine published his portrait with the title ‘The Dumbest Mafia Don’.
- John Gotti Junior was a made member of the Gambino crime family. He was inducted to La Cosa Nostra by his father when the latter became boss after ordering the killing of Paul Castellano in 1985. Junior was chosen by his father to become acting boss of his Mafia family when he was convicted in 1992. Junior officially left the Gambino organization in 1999 according to his lawyer. Authorities tried unsuccessfully to convict him for rackeetering, and gave up after a third mistrial. Junior is currently fixing his four-bedroom Oyster Bay Cove mansion in Long Island, NY. He is expected to sell it soon to pay off debts to the government and his legal fees, then said he would move out of the State of New York.
- Victoria Gotti: John Gotti’s daughter is a writer and is mostly known for her A&E TV show ‘Growing Up Gotti’. It was a reality show about her life and the one of her three sons (John Gotti Agnello, Frank Gotti Agnello, Carmine Gotti Agnello) and that she had with her ex-husband Carmine Agnello, a Gambino mobster who ran a large metal scrap company in New York City. The Gotti famiy lived in a beautiful million-dollar Long Island residence and drove luxury cars.
- Other Gotti brothers have been involved with the Gambinos, including Gene Gotti and Richard Gotti, both Gambino soldiers. John Gotti’s wife Victoria DiGiorgio publicly supported her son Junior’s innocence during his multiple trials and even gave an interview for a NY TV channel.
