AI notes: On April 2, 1992, John Gotti, the infamous “Teflon Don” and boss of the Gambino crime family, was found guilty on all counts in a federal racketeering and murder trial in the Eastern District of New York, ending years of high-profile legal evasion. The conviction followed extensive investigations by federal prosecutors, who used wiretaps, surveillance, and the testimony of former associates to build their case, proving Gotti’s involvement in multiple murders, loansharking, illegal gambling, and other organized crime activities. This landmark verdict not only stripped Gotti of his freedom—resulting in a life sentence without parole—but also marked a turning point in the federal fight against organized crime, demonstrating that even the most notorious mob bosses could be successfully prosecuted. The New York Daily News famously reported the conviction with the headline “GONE FELLA” cementing the fall of one of America’s most notorious mob figures.
