John Gotti: Families
built 812 days ago
John A. Gotti... known as "Junior," is scheduled to be released from prison in September after serving a 1999 sentence for racketeering. In the federal indictment unsealed Thursday, he was charged along with three other alleged members or associates of the Gambino organized crime family.

It is a little-known fact, even among Mafia hobbyists, that John J. Gotti, a man seldom credited with sophistication, raised his children to be avid readers. His daughter Victoria, who is the smartest Gotti (and who, if the world were a different place, would now be the boss of the Gambino crime family), has a living room lined with books, many of which were not written by Sidney Sheldon, and she is a writer herself of halfway-credible mysteries. His son and sad-sack heir, John, who is known as Junior, is an autodidact and a compulsive reader of history, particularly the history of Native America.
