John Alite Back in Trouble

John Alite, the ex-mobster turned councilman who once testified against John Gotti, is back in deep trouble after being arrested in New Jersey on charges including extortion, loansharking, and terroristic threats. Authorities found multiple baseball bats at his home—some near the front door, others in the kitchen—allegedly used to intimidate debtors. Court docs reveal he reportedly bragged about “gutting people like fish,” a chilling contrast to his public image. Prosecutors say he used his company, Straightened-Out Entertainment Inc., to extort money and property through threats of violence. Alite is out on bail with a detention hearing scheduled for Wednesday—another dramatic fall from grace for a man trying to reinvent himself in public service.
