John “Junior” Gotti, son of the late Mob boss John Gotti was indicted today for consipracy linking him to three murders.
A Manhattan judge has ordered John A. “Junior” Gotti held without bail after his arrest on conspiracy charges linking him to three killings and large-scale cocaine trafficking.
Gotti will remain in custody until his removal to Florida. Earlier Tuesday, federal prosecutor Robert O’Neill in Tampa announced the indictment of the 44-year-old Gotti and five other men. The allegations include the three New York slayings in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The FBI arrested Gotti , the son of the late Gambino family crime boss John Gotti , at his Long Island home.
The indictment accuses him of leading a branch of the Gambinos that operated in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania since about 1983.
If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Gotti was serving time in prison from 1999 until 2005 on a previous conviction for racketeering, extortion, and bribery. Gotti has said subsequently that he’s “retired” from the mafia and no longer wants to associate himself with any criminal organization.
He’s also accused the federal government of trying to get him killed by implying to the media that he has cooperated with investigators.
