Plot to kill Gravano in Arizona

Post by Browniety86 »

How close were the Gambinos to executing their plot to kill Sammy Gravano in Arizona when it was discovered he was relocated there?

The whole Arizona thing seemed Iike a cluster fuck. There were a million rats on the FBI payroll just waiting to point fingers at Peter Gotti. The Feds knew about the hit, I'm guessing, before anyone had the time to gas up their Cadilacs and hit the road.

I asked because George Gabriel, the FBI agent, said the Gambinos were closer than Gravano thought to getting him...

Wonder how bad John Wanted that to happen/ signed off on it ? Or was it all Pete? Did
How many making Ceremonies did Pete have when he was Boss? Wonder if any capo was happy he was boss? Also Wonder when his envelope’s stopped coming to him and his family even though he was still boss in prison ( In name only) . Who did he actually name when he got off the street ? Did he name someone for a short time or did it go right into a 3 panel ?

Peter Gotti was arrested in 2002 and sentenced to 9 years and later to 25 years,I doubt he never parteciped to any making ceremony and imo qas John that qanted Gravano dead,the ither wiseguys thinked that after the damages were done,is useless and attire to much heat to kill a rat.
The Gottis was never estimated by the other wiseguy after John and John Jr made so damages to the family for this Peter Gotti remained boss only in name and was choose a sicilian for be the boss.

Sammy did a video about it and then Cosa Nostra news posted an article with the guy who actually was on the hit team along with Huck.I think his name was Fat Sal, if I remember correctly.He cooperated.
They actually got quite close to the point where they had surveillance on him but Sammy got pinched for ecstasy down in Arizona and the plot failed because of that.
The arrest saved his life.

Sal's a very intelligent guy. Has ancestry in Camastra and Naro (Agrigento), including older relatives who were Sicilian mafia members and Stidda operatives. Not that this was a factor in him getting recruited for the Gravano hit, but it's interesting stuff you won't read about in coverage of the hit.

You don’t think Peter never had a making ceremony while he was boss ?( for that short term)
I thought he had conducted one or two at least?

Joe Arcuri presided over that ceremony. Pete Gotti wasn't there.

He most likely presided over a ceremony while Acting Boss or maybe when he was on the ruling panel.Probably not as Official Boss since he wasn't on the street for long after he got the job.

I'd much rather be made by a man like Joe Arcuri than a strunze like Pete Gotti...Arcuri woulda made a great boss in my opinion...well respected all across the board
