William Battista

[JMAN723]

Obviously everybody knows Willie Boy Johnson as the longtime Gotti informer who was latter killed in the street in August 88. But not many talk about the other Gotti informer William Battista who disappeared in 86. What do you think happened to him? Do you think he fled or do you think his identity was discovered and killed?

That guy told his FBI handlers that if he was ever “outed” as an informer then he would flee. That lady prosecutor Giacalone outed him, like she did to Johnson, because she wanted him to testify against Gotti. If my memory is correct, I think he took off with his wife after the revelation. It was in one of the Gotti books Capeci did in the 90s.

He was much smarter than Willie Boy. I still can’t believe Willie Boy believed Gotti that he would t be harmed

Willie knew it was coming he wanted to believe but...... johnson came up round carmine fatico he knew the life.

Willie Boy seemed oblivious. Gotti told him he would be ok but that he was on the shelf for life. Willie Boy told Gotti to swear on his dead son which Gotti did. But still how can he actually believe Gotti was sincere?

Yeah I have no idea if it’s true. However I’m inclined to believe it because why else would Willie Boy stay around? He obviously felt Gotti had given him a pass

According to Gotti Junior Willie Boy and others such as Joe Watts was involved in the Cennamo homicide that was ordered by Gotti Snr to protect Gotti Junior.
