A Brief History of gambino Family

The first godfather carlo gambino-the godfather who died in bed.

1976, 74-year-old gambino is coming to the end of his life. His long face has been emaciated, leaving only numerous wrinkles, bloodshot eyes and a huge nose. Gambino is often described as a fruit merchant.

Carlo, the first godfather

Suddenly dying in the street seems to be the fate of the mafia godfather. Only the luckiest and most diplomatic talents can enjoy the luxury of dying in bed. In the gambino family, this man is carlo gambino, the fifth godfather. Throughout his life, gambino always bought peace at the expense of acquiescing in internal division. The resulting factional conflict was a fundamental problem, which later troubled his cousin and heir Paul Castelhano.

Judging from gambino's appearance, you'll never guess that the indefatigable ruthlessness in his quiet body made him stand at the top of power. For example, Joe Columbo, who leaked mafia secrets, was shot dead in the head and became the most embarrassing incident for the police. Gallo, nicknamed "Crazy Joy", flouted the rules of the gambino family, stole $50,000 from the Italian-run Ferrara pastry shop, and was shot in front of the Ambot Skram building not far from the street.

Gambino, who speaks softly and smiles, has always been like this. He never acted rashly because of resentment, irritability or intolerance. In this way, he established his personal prestige. But on his deathbed, he chose his cousin Paolo Castellano as his successor, which puzzled many people. Because, almost all the huge wealth of the family is under the control of the "second boss" Aniro Delacrosh (nicknamed Mr. Neil). Delacroix is probably the biggest and most difficult street gang in the whole family. This gang was later inherited by John Gotti. If a war is caused by inheritance, the winner can only be "Mr Neil", and Castela Nuo is doomed to failure.

Fortunately, when gambino died, his deputy was serving a sentence for extortion. His imprisonment provided two convincing reasons for gambino to choose Castela Nuo as his successor: First, the law enforcement agencies are too familiar with De La Kerrouche, and Castela Nuo has no criminal record, and the authorities don't know him at all. Second, the dragon can't be leaderless, and Mr. Neil, who is locked up in prison, naturally can't hold this position.

Paul Castela, the second godfather.

The godfather was assassinated by one of our own.

Since Castelhano's cousin and brother-in-law carlo gambino died in 1976, he has occupied the top of the mafia power pyramid for nine years. During his administration, the gangs in New York were relatively prosperous and stable, which earned him the nickname "Paul the Giant".

However, when Castelhano entered the 70th year of his life, he was already suffering from diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and other diseases, and he was under unprecedented double pressure from the police and his family.

Castelhano felt that some young delegates, especially the arrogant and ambitious John Gotti, were no longer afraid of him. Before his death, Castelain was being investigated by the police for manipulating a car theft syndicate and murder. Because the charges in these two cases are conclusive, once the case is tried in 1986, it will inevitably uncover the old foundation of the entire mafia leadership. As a 70-year-old man, Castela Nuo doesn't want to go to prison, but just wants to live comfortably. For those who may be implicated in his confession, instead of staying up all night, it is better to numb him less. So, the assassination began. 1985 12 16, Castela Nuo was shot dead in a busy street in Manhattan, new york.

The murder was not a rebellion by a gang of gambino family, but a decision supported by five mafia families in new york. This is an open action, and only he himself is still in the dark.

That night, Castelhano enjoyed his last dinner at Spark Steakhouse, where he often went, and tasted the prime beef of the third rib. At this point, he is in a happy mood. He had no idea that his good friend Frank Siko had betrayed him and revealed his action route that night.

After dinner, Thomas Bilotti drove his godfather's black Lincoln to 46th Street and stopped at a "No Parking" sign. As soon as they appeared, the three killers in ambush immediately rushed forward, flashed semi-automatic rifles under the windbreaker and fired at close range. Castelhano and Bilotti were shot six times each. Then, the murderer unhurriedly turned into the second alley of 46th Street, got into a car that had been waiting there and disappeared into the night.

The third godfather, John Gaudi ... the godfather betrayed by his deputy.

A $2,000 suit, a pink diamond ring and a shiny wig. John Gaudi is a guest of new york's top clubs, hotels and restaurants. Everyone who comes into contact with him is infected by his charming smile, forgetting that what lies behind the smile is sin, deception, blood and killing.

Gaudi, the third godfather

If there is another reason for the death of the giant Paul, it is because his subordinate and rival John Gaudi wanted him to die. When he was young, John Gotti was a punk in the slums of Queens, new york. When he was about 0/0 years old, he was already a well-known gangster in the local area and showed unusual leadership.

Just when Gotti became famous in the gambino family, carlo gambino, the godfather at that time, passed the position of godfather to Castela Nuo before he died, instead of his boss Delacloche, and Castela Nuo undoubtedly became an obstacle on his way to power. From then on, Gotti began to hate the new godfather.

Because Castelhano stubbornly forbids anyone in his family to engage in drug dealing, the crisis between him and Gotti, who is addicted to drug profiteering, is getting worse. Delacloche died of cancer in 1985, which means that Gotti lost protection in the gambino family. So, there was the murder case mentioned above. From the day the giant Paul died, John Gotti became the seventh godfather of the gambino family.

However, the good times did not last long. 199 1 year, his deputy, Misha, the second bull of the gambino family, violated the "silence principle" of the mafia, acted as a police witness, exhausted the capital of the gambino family and sent Gotti to prison. This case is also the most outstanding achievement of Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of new york, after he became the US Attorney General.

1992, Gaudi was sentenced to life imprisonment and served his sentence in Illinois. In prison, Gaudi tried to continue to control the whole family remotely, but in 1996, he was forced to hand over the leadership to his brother Peter Gaudi. Later, he was imprisoned for laryngeal cancer treatment, and later died because of the spread of cancer.

The "traitor" of the family

"I am the second boss of the gambino family," Misha Bull said on the witness stand in Kan Kan, becoming the first mafia second boss to betray his boss in American history. "John Gaudi is the boss, I am the second, he growls and I bite."

Sergio Vato Grevi, nicknamed "Misha Bull". It was this bull Misha who created the most famous gang infighting in American history nine years ago. Misha Bull worked as a professional killer in this family for 20 years and finally became the "second boss". 199 1 year, he suddenly made an amazing move: he acted as a police witness and testified against his old partner, John Gaudi. This means that he committed the most unforgivable crime in the mafia's "moral principles"-betrayal.

1March, 1995 19, Misha Bull was placed on the protection list of the federal witness protection system immediately after he was released from prison. Relevant professionals helped him establish a new identity: Jamie Moran, and gave him plastic surgery. One year after he was released from prison, Misha the bull thought there were too many restrictions, so he automatically quit the witness protection system. After that, he built a house in the suburb of Phoenix. Of course, Misha, a bull used to mafia business, will never be willing to be alone. This time, he took a fancy to the emerging ecstasy market. He worked with his son Gerald and local ecstasy seller Mike Pappa. After 1 years of bloody killing, Misha the bull reshuffled the ecstasy market in Phoenix by violence, established an independent kingdom belonging to him and became the godfather of a new generation.

Do more wrong things and you will die. In the early morning of February 24th, 2000, Misha, his wife, daughter, son, father and more than 40 members of the gang were arrested at the same time. Misha, 55, and his 24-year-old son were sentenced to jail 15 years. Ironically, like Misha's testimony to John Gaudi, most of the evidence of Misha's conviction this time came from his accomplices.

The fourth godfather, John Gaudi Jr.

A funeral procession consisting of more than 100 cars sailed to St. John's cemetery. Gaudi's gold-plated coffin was carried out of the funeral home by eight people. Black suit and red umbrella are symbols of Gaudi's funeral dress. Each float carries a wreath with Gaudi's favorite things painted on it. Gaudi fans scrambled to touch the hearse.

China Daily News: Eight people carried gold-plated coffins, a convoy of more than 100 luxury cars, all-black suits and red umbrellas, and tens of thousands of red and white carnations. Such a grand private funeral is rare in new york. This is the funeral scene of gambino family, the biggest gangster in new york, in June 15. Lying in the coffin is gambino's evil former godfather John Gotti. 10 died of laryngeal cancer in prison in June at the age of 6 1.

Funeral paved with dollars

1996 After the news that John Gaudi suffered from laryngeal cancer in prison and his condition was getting worse, members of the gambino family began to carefully plan this grand funeral. A private jet quietly parked on the private tarmac in Queens, new york, waiting to fly to Springfield prison in Illinois to pick up Gaudi's body.

On June 1 1 day, the plane that had been waiting for four years finally came in handy. Gaudi's body was placed in a gold-plated coffin tailored for him, and he returned to Queens, new york, where Gaudi grew up, in an extended luxury Lincoln. According to the custom of Italian descendants, the body was officially buried after being parked in the local funeral home for 3 days.

On June 15, the whole Queens of new york was filled with a special atmosphere of funeral. Four helicopters began to hover over the funeral home early in the morning, and the main road leading to St. John's Cemetery, a private cemetery in gambino, was empty. Many overpasses and buildings along the street are hung with huge portraits of Gaudi. The funeral procession was all black, and each car wore a wreath made of flowers, spelling out Gaudi's favorite patterns, including horse racing and boxing gloves. Hundreds of gambino members wore straight black suits and red umbrellas to attend Gaudi's funeral.

Gaudi's younger brother and current godfather Peter Gaudi did not attend the funeral because he had just been arrested by the police. And Gaudi's son is also serving time in prison.

Idol of new york citizens

Gaudi may be the most special gangster in new york's history. Although his hands are covered with blood, his popularity is excellent, and there are a group of die-hard admirers in new york. 1992, when the court convicted Gaudi of murder and other charges 13, hundreds of new york citizens held up banners supporting Gaudi.

Today, Gaudi's popularity has not diminished. More than 500 people from new york made a special trip to attend the funeral. They placed wreaths at the entrance of the funeral home, held candles and held slogans such as "John Gaudi forever" and "We love you, John Gaudi". These Gaudi supporters include teenagers and white-haired old people. When the funeral car carrying Gaudi's coffin passed through the crowd, many people burst into tears and rushed to reach out and touch the funeral car.

Gaudi liked the feeling of being on top before his death. He is as radiant as a Hollywood movie star. He often wears a suit worth $2,000 and a pink diamond ring, and goes in and out of the most upscale clubs, hotels and restaurants in new york ... Time magazine once took Gaudi as the cover figure, and new york people even regarded him as the image representative of new york City.

For more than ten years, Gaudi has become the focus of media flash pursuit no matter where he appears. The funeral, the major coal bodies in new york sent a strong reporting team. Photographers crowded in the crowd stepped on the short ladder and caught every detail of the funeral.

The priest refused to go to mass.

There was no Catholic mass at Gaudi's funeral. Although Gaudi's family begged Thomas Dudley, the Bishop of Brooklyn, many times, the answers were all negative. Bishop Dari believed that Gaudi's actions before his death were far from the requirements of Catholic teachings, and Catholicism could not give mass to such people.

The underground cemetery of St. John's Cemetery is Gaudi's residence. Where the godfathers of the gambino family were buried. Compared with them, Gaudi is lucky. Although betrayed by his men, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, but he still died peacefully on his deathbed in prison. Most godfathers in gambino's history were killed by their successors. Gaudi reached the peak of power in gambino after killing his predecessor Paul.

According to Gaudi's will, he will lie next to his 12-year-old son Frank. More than ten years ago, Frank was killed in a traffic accident. The perpetrator is a neighbor of Gaudi's family. Soon after, the neighbor disappeared and the police haven't found him yet. Gaudi misses Frank very much. There are only two photos on his desk, one is the cover photo of his miscellaneous issue in Time magazine, and the other is his son Frank.

New york police believe that after Gaudi's funeral, the gambino family will decline and disintegrate rapidly. Earlier this month, the FBI arrested 17 senior members of the gambino family, including the current godfather Peter Gaudi. After the death of Gaudi, the spiritual leader, gambino was leaderless, and many people had planned to wash their hands of it or join other gangs.

The current godfather Peter Gaudi

Gambino, June 6, 2002 (Gam? 17 members of the Pino family were arrested, including the current godfather of the organization, Peter Gaudi. The New York State Court will charge them with 68 counts of extortion, extortion, money laundering, bribery and usury.

Control new york shipping, manipulate stock prices for profiteering.

Judge Allen Fenegrad said on the same day that Peter Gaudi was the younger brother of John Gaudi, the godfather of gambino gangster, who was arrested in 1992. After Peter succeeded gambino as godfather, he tried to control new york's shipping industry by underworld means, and manipulated the new york Dock Seamen's Union to extort money from workers.

Since the mid-1990s, the gambino gangster family has controlled the International Seamen's Federation, which represents the interests of 65,000 seafarers in North America. They used violence and bribery to place gang members in important positions in the Federation. Soon after, under the threat of gambino, the International Seafarers' Federation signed a huge medical contract with the seafarers' medical fund, in which gambino received at least $400,000 in benefits.

In addition, gambino has long levied protection fees on small businesses, seafarers and dockers in new york Port, and used illegal means to interfere with commercial activities in Brooklyn and Starr Island, new york.

In 2000, the gambino family, together with other New York gangster organizations, infiltrated or controlled a number of Wall Street brokerage companies, illegally manipulated the stock prices of 19 companies, forcibly sold them to investors, and made illegal profits.

The gambino family-the godfathers of the five big gangs in new york-took office. Among the five major gangster families in new york-gambino family, genovese family, Lucassi family, Bonanno family and Kolobo family, gambino has the greatest influence and influence. Gambino, the founder of this organization, was born in Sicily. He sneaked into the United States by boat on 192 1, settled in Brooklyn, new york, and then entered the underworld. Gambino's activities include illegal opening of casinos, usury, kidnapping and drug trafficking, and its greatest feature is blackmailing workers through the control of seafarers' unions.

In the past 80 years, gambino's family power has expanded rapidly, which has had a negative impact on the economic and social development of new york City and even many parts of the United States. The five mafia families also have jurisdiction, among which the gambino family has jurisdiction over the rich areas in new york and most of the docks in New Jersey.

Gambino's last godfather, John Gaudi, was sentenced to life imprisonment on June 1992, charged with murder, extortion, interference with judicial justice, etc. In prison, John Gaudi continued to remotely control the whole family, and 1996 was forced to give way because of laryngeal cancer. At present, he is waiting for the arrival of death, and the gambino family has arranged a private jet to pick up John Gaudi's body at any time.

Starting from 1999, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States began to collect criminal evidence of gangs and prepared to break them one by one. 200 1 12, after two years of undercover work, a new york detective got enough information to help the police destroy the genovese family in one fell swoop.
