I doubt it was him in this case as he wasn’t high level at the time ( maybe not even made ?) but Louis Moscatiello
I believe came out more recently as a CI . He was a Gotti disciple I think and came up with his HB crew , going way back.

Actually that has me thinking . In Gotti Jr Doc he said his dad had a rule to never talk murder with a guy he never did time with ( the Gravano mistake), so did Louis do time with Gotti ? Basically show how flawed both Gottis thought processes were

[/Let me give you a further hint to think about - who was in that apt but never caught talking mob business on those tapes?

Carmine Lombardozzi was still alive at that point and had been previously active as an informant. I'm not sure if he'd have been in the loop on the Commission activities or if he had continued to inform in any capacity into the 1980s, but he is another possibility.

The tip must have come from somebody who was going to be there or somebody who was going to drive one of the bosses there. That´s the most logical explanation for the successful catch. Usually the bosses do not tell their underlings where exactly a meeting will take place. In their eyes, they don´t need to know the details. Another possibility is that the tip came from the house owner. Do anyone know who the house owner was at the time? That could narrow it down in finding out who the tipster was.
