John Gotti and the New England Mafia

John Jr. mentioned his father meeting with Raymond Patriarca at the New York Military Academy when he was a student and RP's grandson was also a student. However, there were other stories in the A&E documentary that directly involve the New England family including Frank Salemme who is on trial now in Boston for murder.

I lay out the connections between Gotti and NELCN in my article linked below. I also linked to the sources I used so you can follow up and dig deeper if you want to learn more about the Gotti connection to the New England family including the Rhode Island mobster who helped kill Favara and the Boston LCN capo who discussed killing Gravano's family when he switched sides. Attorney Cutler was excluded from defending Gotti because of Ravenite tapes that captured his conversation with JG about communicating with the Patriarca boss and I included the quotes from the FBI wiretap in my article linked below.

I read Gotti had some connection to New England mob but I didn’t realize it was that much. Good catch Chris

Thanks JCrusher - I'm a Massachusetts guy and I have followed this family for years and when I heard the Patriarca story in the A&E documentary I knew there was a whole lot more to tell about the relationship. I included the links to my sources so everybody who is interested can read deep on their own schedule.

i bet you have a lot of experience to the history of bulger and the winter hill gang as well

Howie Carr is the Bulger expert!

Does anybody have pictures of Gotti with New England LCN members? Not private photos but pictures in the public domain.

There real. Its like there scrubbed from the internet. They must have been time magazine. Theres pics of john his brother gene. And all the providence guys. Surveillance pics from a distance. Must have been 79 80.

Thanks Chris. Great article.

Thanks MightyDR

Thanks, RomanNE for the picture - I appreciate it.

Nice one RomanNE

theres a bunch more im guessing this is in the late 80tys because the gambino guy dibernardo was in charge of the porn in all new england except in boston and guarino was his guy in rhode island and palladino in mass. sammy the bull killed dibernardo in summer 1986.then the old guy in the pic natale took over the gambinos porn biz. alot of frank salemmes trial is about a meeting between the old guy natale and frank at the airport hotel in 1991 dec. the pic i seen were im thinking 80 give or take

yeah I think it’s 1979/80. Going by what Gotti looked like from the spring 1979 surveillance shots in front of the ravenite

I hate to be one of those assholes, but I'm gonna be one of those assholes.

I posted that in the rare photos thread just over a week ago.

surposely the rhode island guys had a hand in kidnapping/killing the neighbor who ran over gottis kid in 1980.

gomes went to prison for 16yrs in the late 88 89 for trying to kill some guys in rhode island.

that pic must be 87 88

lol, this is true. I don't think we understood the significance of it then
