💥 Mafia History Fact! 💥
On December 6, 1989, Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, underboss of the Gambino crime family, agreed to cooperate with the FBI and testify against John Gotti, the family’s boss. Gravano’s decision to turn informant was a major shock to the Mafia world and ultimately led to Gotti’s conviction on multiple charges, including murder and racketeering. 👀👔
Gravano’s testimony marked one of the most significant betrayals in Mafia history, as he became the highest-ranking member to break the code of silence, or “Omertà.” This pivotal moment changed the Mafia landscape and emboldened the FBI’s pursuit of other crime family leaders. 🔍⚖️
