Nation IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Alleged Crime Boss Faces New Charge
- Share via
Reputed crime boss John Gotti was charged in New York with orchestrating another murder. The latest charges say Gotti sanctioned the 1990 killing of Louis DiBono, 63, an alleged Mafia “soldier.” Gotti has been held without bail since last December, accused of the 1985 murder of former crime boss Paul Castellano. A newspaper reported that Gotti has been transferred to solitary confinement as a result of death threats by mobsters who blame him for increased attention by law enforcement officers. But Gotti’s lawyer, Bruce Cutler, denied the report of threats.
