John Gotti

John Gotti was a notorious American mobster who became the boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City during the 1980s. Known as the "Teflon Don" because charges often didn't stick to him, Gotti was famous for his flamboyant personality, stylish suits, and public presence. His high-profile trials and eventual conviction for murder and racketeering in 1992 marked a significant moment in the fight against organized crime. Gotti’s leadership highlighted the violent nature of the Mafia and the criminal activities it engaged in, but he also became a media figure, symbolizing the allure and pitfalls of mob life.
