Gambino Capo
Toward the 1990s, John Gotti was eventually caught up to by US law enforcement, as his Underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano decided to turn state's evidence due to internal rivalry with Gotti at the time, and was put on the stand to testify against Gotti, Consigliere Frank "Frankie Loc" LoCascio and dozens of other Gambino mobsters during the early 1990s.
