Sammy Gravano

Salvatore "Sammy" Gravano is a former Italian-American mobster associated with the Gambino crime family in New York City. Known as "Sammy the Bull," he was a powerful figure involved in organized crime activities such as extortion, gambling, and murder. In the early 1990s, he became a government informant, providing crucial information that helped law enforcement take down many mob members, including boss John Gotti. His cooperation led to numerous convictions but also earned him a reduced prison sentence. Gravano's testimony significantly impacted organized crime's structure and law enforcement efforts against the Mafia.
