  • Bad to Worse for Peter Gotti
    Bad To Worse For Peter Gotti http://www.ganglandnews.com/members/column379.htm April 29, 2004 By Jerry Capeci Bad To Worse For Peter Gotti It’s been a hell of a month for Peter Gotti. His longtime paramour, who had remained anonymous despite her daily attendance at his racketeering trial last year, publicly championed her love for him, then committed suicide after he dressed her down for causing such a big stir. His angry wife threw a monkey wrench into his divorce plans and asked a Brooklyn Federal Court judge to lock him up and throw away the key as punishment for labor racketeering on the Brooklyn waterfront. The judge gave the 64-year-old convicted mob boss nine years and four months. In Manhattan, more crimes – construction industry extortion and plotting to kill turncoat gangster Salvatore (Sammy Bull) Gravano – now threaten to send him away for life. What’s more, while an underling codefendant in the Manhattan case, capo Louis (Big Lou) Vallario, who was charged with taking part in a 1989 murder for then-high-flying Dapper Don John Gotti, just wangled a sweet plea deal, sources say the feds intend to play hardball with Peter and four other defendants. 1 of 5 11/5/2009 9:58 PM Bad To Worse For Peter Gotti http://www.ganglandnews.com/members/column379.htm “We’re really not interested in resuming plea discussions with any of the remaining defendants; we’re preparing for trial,” one member of the prosecution team told Gang Land yesterday. Vallario, (left) whose sentencing guidelines called for 24 to 30 years, faces a maximum of 13 years, according to an agreement worked out last week by defense lawyer James DiPietro and federal prosecutors under U.S.
