How John Gotti Assassinated Paul Castellano, “The Boss Of Bosses”
"On December 16, 1985, John Gotti organized a ruthless assassination on Gambino crime boss Paul Castellano outside Sparks Steak House in New York City. It was a murder that would change the New York Mafia forever….
Paul Castellano made a lot of enemies since he took over as boss of the Gambino crime family in 1976. He was known as the “Howard Hughes of the Mafia,” because like Hughes, he was somewhat of a recluse. Castellano saw himself as a businessman who distanced himself from the guys who were the bread-and-butter of his business: the Gambino’s capos, soldiers, and associates.
Instead, he met only with top brass in his sprawling 17-room Staten Island mansion, nicknamed “the White House.” Not only did he repeatedly insult his men with his continual snubs but he was also out of touch.
With his men’s earnings already taking a hit, Castellano also kept in place a cardinal rule of predecessor Carlo Gambino: Gambino family members were prohibited from drug dealing. Any individuals dealing drugs could not become made men and any implicated in drug trafficking would be killed…
Castellano’s decisions infuriated Gotti, especially since he was dealing heroin. At the time it was underboss Aniello Dellacroce who kept Gotti in line, who despite the boss’ greed, expected absolute loyalty to Castellano…
Castellano wasn’t a fan of Ruggiero’s capo, Gotti. When he heard that Ruggiero and John’s brother Gene were arrested for dealing heroin and that the feds had wiretapped their conversations, the mobster in him wanted to demote Gotti and disband his crew. …
Castellano wanted the transcripts from the wiretapped conversations but Ruggiero refused, knowing what it would mean for him and Gotti. Instead, Gambino underboss Delacroce convinced Castellano to wait for the prosecutors to release the tapes…."
