Gotti’s Brother Found Guilty in Payback Plot

From Times Wire Reports
Peter Gotti was convicted of trying to have Mafia turncoat Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano killed as payback for his testimony against Gotti’s older brother, John.
Federal prosecutors argued that Peter Gotti, 65, sought revenge against Gravano for his devastating testimony at John Gotti’s racketeering and murder trial. The boss of the Gambino crime family was convicted in 1992 and died in prison a decade later.
Gravano was arrested on drug charges before the hit could be carried out.
