John “Junior” Gotti Arrested on Murder Conspiracy Charge

It looks like John A. ”Junior” Gotti is keeping up with the family traditions quite well. 

“Junior” Gotti has been arrested on a murder conspiracy charge, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The official said the charge stemmed from a federal investigation originating in Tampa, Florida. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the charge had not been officially announced.

Gotti has had three criminal trials end in mistrial. He is expected to make an appearance in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday for a removal hearing.

He was tried three times in Manhattan on racketeering charges for an alleged plot to kidnap Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. The trials in 2005 and 2006 ended in hung juries and mistrials, and federal prosecutors announced that they were giving up.
