The Gotti family

The Gotti family, led by John Gotti, was a notorious Italian-American crime family involved in organized crime activities such as racketeering, extortion, and illegal gambling in New York City. John Gotti, known as the "Dapper Don," became a symbolic figure for the Mafia during the 1980s and early 1990s due to his high-profile criminal enterprises and charismatic leadership. The family's influence declined after Gotti's conviction in 1992, and law enforcement efforts have since dismantled much of their operations. Their story highlights the ongoing conflicts between organized crime groups and law enforcement in America.
