John Gleeson: The Gotti Wars

from Watching America · host 89.5 WHRV-FM, Norfolk, VA

John Gotti was the first celebrity crime boss. His ability to beat criminal charges inspired one of his nicknames: “The Teflon Don.” John Gleeson was an Assistant US Attorney in Brooklyn who failed to successfully prosecute Gotti in 1987 on federal racketeering prosecutions. But Gleeson successfully led the investigation and prosecution of Gotti five years later. On this episode of Watching America, Gleeson talks about his new book detailing his years fighting the Gambino crime family, “The Gotti Wars: Taking Down America’s Most Notorious Mobster.”
