John Gotti Jr is reportedly under the FBI's spotlight after forging close ties with the Latin Kings.

 

The mobster allegedly met with bigwigs Michael 'King Merlin' Cecchetelli and the latter man's uncle David 'Fat Chicky' Cecchetelli' at a social club long used by the Genovese crime family.

 

He is also reportedly pictured in various Instagram shots with the pair, as well former MMA fighter named Damien 'The Omen' Trites.

 

Gotti Jr, who was acting boss of the Gambino crime family in the 1990s, is said to have met with the Cecchetelli pair at the Mount Carmel Social Club, in Springfield, Massachusetts, according to the New York Daily News.

 

It has long been used as a social club by members of the Genovese crime family.

 

It is best known as the location for the gangland murder of Adolfo 'Big Al' Bruno, who was shot dead in the parking lot while leaving a card game in 2003.

 

David Cecchetelli is reportedly an associate of of the Genovese crime family.

 

King Merlin was one of more than 60 members of the Latin Kings who were arrested on federal racketeering, drug and firearms charges last December.

 

'We believe, under Cecchetelli's leadership, the eastern region of the Latin Kings is currently structured, organized and run like La Cosa Nostra,' FBI Special Agent Joseph Bonavolonta said at the time of the arrest.

 

Asked to confirm that Gotti was on the FBI's radar, an FBI spokeswoman told the New York Daily News that investigators would not comment 'because of the ongoing investigation and prosecution of the case.'

 

Last year, Gotti Jr demanded an apology from police after mobster Francesco 'Frankie Boy' Cali's suspected killer was finally arrested and contrary to rumors, his mobster uncle Gene Gotti was not behind the murder.

 

US Marshals apprehended Anthony Comello, 24, and he continues to face murder charges for killing Cali.

 

Cali, the 53-year-old reputed boss of the notorious Gambino crime family, was murdered outside of his Staten Island home last March when he was hit by a hail of six bullets.

 

Police were thought to be considering heroin dealer Gene Gotti, 72, as the man behind the murder, suspecting he committed the crime in a power move to take over the mob as he was released from prison six months ago after 29 long years.

SEOUL (THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Free Joseon, a clandestine anti-Pyongyang political group, helped North Korea's top diplomat in Italy go into hiding in November 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday (April 4).

 

Citing sources familiar with the matter, the US newspaper said Free Joseon arranged a car and a safe house for Mr Jo Song-gil, who was then acting ambassador to Rome, and his wife.

 

After having told colleagues he was going for a stroll, Mr Jo got into the car awaiting them nearby the embassy's compound, which was then driven by a secret member of Free Joseon to a safe house. He brought along his wife, but left behind the daughter.

 

Pyongyang's top diplomat is reportedly seeking political asylum in a Western country at an undisclosed location. His daughter was repatriated to Pyongyang shortly after he and his wife had gone missing, according to Italy's Foreign Ministry.

 

Free Joseon was established in 2017 to support North Korean defectors and denounce the Kim Jong-un regime, which it describes as illegitimate, accusing Mr Kim of association with terrorism and torture of his people.

 

The political group was reportedly involved in the raid on the North Korea Embassy in Madrid on Feb 22 last year. The group was formerly called Cheollima Civil Defence.
