Gotti's Boys: The Mafia Crew That Killed for John Gotti

Gotti's Boys: The Mafia Crew That Killed for John Gotti

Meet the men who murdered for the mobâ€”and made John Gotti the most powerful and deadly crime boss in America . . .
Â
They called him the â€œTeflon Don.â€ But in his short reign as the head of the Gambino crime family, John Gotti wracked up a lifetime of charges from gambling, extortion, and tax evasion to racketeering, conspiracy, and five convictions of murder. He didnâ€™t do it alone. Surrounding himself with a rogues gallery of contract killers, fixers, and enforcers, he built one of the richest, most powerful crime empires in modern history. Who were these men? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside Gottiâ€™s inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other Mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gottiâ€™s Boys . . .
Â
* Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed of bodies for the mobâ€”by dissolving them in acid then displaying their jewels.
Â
* Gene Gotti: the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling ringâ€”enraging his bosses in the Gambino family.
Â
* Angelo â€œQuack-Quackâ€ Ruggiero: the loose-lipped contract killer who was wire-tapped by the FBIâ€”and dared to insult Gotti behind his back.
Â
* Tony â€œRoachâ€ Rampino: the hardcore stoner who looked like a cockroachâ€”and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his enemies.
Â
* â€œSammy the Bullâ€ Gravano: the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellanoâ€”then sang like a canary to take Gotti down.
Â
Rounding out this nefarious group were the likes of Frank DeCicco, Vincent Artuso, and Joe â€œThe Germanâ€ Watts, a man who wasnâ€™t a Mafiosi but had all of the power and prestige of one in John Gottiâ€™s slaughterhouse crew. Gottiâ€™s Boys is a killer line-up of the crime-hardened mob soldiers who killed at their ruthless leaderâ€™s merciless biddingâ€”brought to vivid life by the prize-winning chronicler of the American mob.
