#TheFBIFiles #TrueCrime #JohnGotti
Season 1 Episode 13: By December 1985, John Gotti (aka the Teflon Don) had assumed his place as the new Don of the Gambino crime family in New York with the assassination of his boss, Paul Castellano. When the FBI convinced Gotti's underboss, Salvatore Gravano, to testify against him, the jury came back with their verdict: guilty on all counts.
The FBI Files is an American docudrama that takes a look behind the scenes of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime laboratory.
Real FBI cases are recounted through reenactments and interviews, due to the sensitive nature of the show, viewer discretion is advised.
I might sound strange, but i use these documentaries just to sleep fast.
If it works for you, I say "Go for it!" It's only strange to someone who doesn't do it. We ALL have our quirks.
It's why I just put it on 😆😆😆
You are not the only one
Me too
Yes
I once asked my dad why the FBI suddenly decided to start going after the mob, he told me, "the government don't like competition".
That's funny. My 96 year old mother said 30 years ago that the government is nothing but legalized mafia.
Burger King is the home of the Whopper.
@@sammyandoliver7522 government workers usually are sovereign citizens. There’s a cop in my town. That has a 6yr old registration. He drives to work daily in that vehicle. There’s a guy bringing attention to it. Nothing being done about it.
The Sheriff of my town, just settled for an undisclosed amount with his assault victim. The man is still Sheriff and his record is wiped clean because of a deferral program of some type.
@@cpcattin I was just looking for where the home of the whopper is. I knew the comments section of The FBI Files was the perfect place to discover this important information and I am not disappointed.
Well yes, many crimes such as robbery (taxation) and murder (capital punishment) is legal when the government does it. Many cults that end up challenging the governments gets disbanded quickly. The government has a monopoly over violence and they won't let any Joe Blows take t hat away.
Who else watches the same episodes over and over and still finds them captivating?
Im in my late 50s
Im very intrigued by these documentris .mainly because i like the old cars ,streets ,the way they dress it brings back memories of my father.
every fkn time, it feels like i missed somn the last time i watched..😂
🤚🏻
For me it's the investigative techniques they used before video camera's, cell phone triangulation etc that interest me. That and the hosts great voice and narrating.
I watch these mob docs daily
I have to say that I love the narrator for these episodes.
They got into Castellanos house by scrambling his cable TV reception and sending in an fbi agent posing as a cable TV repairman
Sure did
I heard it was something to do with plumbing because he always held his meetings and took his phone calls in the kitchen
You nailed it
It doesn’t matter What your name is yeah don’t worry I’ll trust some random on the internet and not the documentary I watched with the FBI team who ran the case.
@@OhElvira he's right though so maybe you should, and not the cartoon you watched
I love how they have perfect re-creations and they also include the original footage. Can't get any better than this.
Hi golden girl
Exactly
It would be better if they pronounced names properly
Sophia faked her death to run secrets for the mob. 😆
absolutely plus the guys who fill in look alot like the real thing
Forensic files and FBI files are 2 of the best shows.
Don't forget the New Detectives
Almost Got Away With is good too.

Fantastic resource! Whether you're a history enthusiast or just curious about the past, this channel offers a wealth of knowledge in an accessible format.
The narrator makes this show very good in the way he speaks he's awesome thank you for sharing
While the re-enactments are pretty cringe at times, I agree, this narrator is tops.
Working for the mafia is a temporary position.
With death benifits
@Spanky Ham hahaha...those freebies though.
Yes, in between stacking shelves at Walmart and being a second hand car salesman.
Sad but true, sir!!!
@@bobbydukes5407 i like the way you think
I seriously prefer to watch any of these fbi files episodes over any Hollywood big movie💯
Organized crime is cleaner , safer , more intelligent than the gang situation nowadays. The US government thought the would clean the streets by eliminating the wolves. All that did was make room for the rats 🐀 to take over.
Was it so hard to find an actor who looked at least a bit like John Gotti?
Travolta 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This style of documentary is gone forever. :(
It’s awesome isn’t it
@Mevrouw Aruba* Dochter van Hafid* I contracted herpes on my lip from a toilet seat. It wasn't my fault.
@Mevrouw Aruba* Dochter van Hafid* I'm serious. Chicken Pox is also a form of Herpes. Yes we don't make fun of people with Chicken Pox.
Unfortunately, all documentaries like these are gone now, in their place we are given “Reality” and conspiracy shows. Pretty much sums up how fcked up society is today. The only people still doing something close to documentaries are the little guys on UA-cam.
@@darthjarjar5309 The powers that be wish to dumb us down.
After having watched the sopranos, it's crazy hearing this story and realizing how much of that plot was based on true events.
It's actually easier to use history as the basis of your plot, even if you change names and events. Otherwise you can have protagonists and antagonists doing nothing as you don't know how they should talk, walk and even act/react.
How the Feds managed to plant a bug inside the Ravenite without getting detected seems miraculous. That place has got to be observed 24/7 by Gambino eyes in the neighborhood.
Cause they backdoored gotti 😂
these evidence gathering techniques feel super illegal.
Yep. Just what I was thinking.
Usually dey are!!!
ky store Shouldn't be able to just do that.
I wouldn’t want to be a juror in this trial, no way!
I could use 60000 thousand dollars
To get a fancy casket
I wouldn't mind.could use 50,,60grand lol
@@luckydaniel8396 honestly probably better than the one I'll be in one day anyway haha
Facts I said the same thing that's a dangerous situation 🤔
Great documentary keep them coming 👏 👍 👌
That guy who faked being a person who can sweep for bugs must has the biggest set of stones to do that to the mob
He was probably a fed
Definitely was a fed
it was his job.
Couldn't they find _anyone_ who looked even a tiny little bit like the actual Paul Castelano? That guy looked like my high school Music teacher.
😂😂😂
Gotti wasn’t like the old mob bosses .. he talked too much
His mouth was his own rat
Yep. I think Castellano was the last of the old school mob bosses.
@The Commission the chin? Yeah he’s def old school.
Arrogance that comes from stupidity! Gotti was the meaning of narcissist.
@The Commission sonny franzese was old school and lived by omertà
Am addicted watching your channel, they are so amazing , i can't wait to have new one this New Year!, God bless you!
The narrator did a great job my second best t.v narrator my favorite narrator was Peter Thomas from forensic files
It seems to me that there is no such thing as real loyalty in the mafia.
@Rob Cook goodfellas Is great example of loyalty doesn't matter when comes to money and drugs
@Rob Cook not with Jnr Soprano 🤣🤣
@GTR LK I don't know if they control those places but I do know they are still around and still not to be messed with.
It's rare to find loyalty.
Even in the real world.
There NEVER was loyalty & trust in the mafia! Very dumb wiseguys who were killed by or spent yrs in prison due to people in there crime family they stupidly thought they could trust!!
You think your house is bugged so you call for a sweeper from your HOME phone!
IKR.... too rich. Main thing for me is how the Feds got into those homes. They should have have a fucking permanently-stationed outlook up in there.
Dumb ass lol
Bobby Care lol but true
@Aaron Dukes umm. Gotti wasnt a sniper or some kind of good shot lol. He fought on the streets all the time coming up lol. You just dont know shit do you?
@Aaron Dukes Making someone to risk their life to kill somebody for you is harder than killing yourself, you need mucho authority or money.
Haha the pink phone they tap, lol
13:57 got me rolling on the floors. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bug checker was arrested by the FBI and he told them that his bug equipment can't even locate a cockroaches and he was paid top dollar for nothing. LMFAO
Nice one
I hope it can detect rats 🐀
That guy had balls..😂 imagine connin big paul that badly and someone in his crew realize this dude is cappin with his equipment. Im certainly sure paul put hit on that guy i mean sammy the bull told in one of his vid paul killed his daughters boyfriend cause he said paul looks like chicken in front of his family wtf😀
He legally operated his business, the feds wouldn’t even charge him with anything, they arrested only to scare him into stopping ! Only if he destroyed bugs, it’s “tamper w/evidence” otherwise finding them is very legal !
He was the real criminal here 😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Gotti brought down the Gambinos with his ego and narcissism.
Wrong sammi the bull brought them down please becaureful what u say
You idiot
Brought down by shine boxes
Shut up
@@leonidasschinas673 go get your shine box
It’s surreal to watch this stuff, truly amazing
I love em, Tony call , the narrator is the best,.and the most laid back guy you will ever meet.
Imagine that!! The guy he paid to sweep his house for bugs was using equipment that didnt even work... What balls on this guy!!
Trust me if the FBI knew then Angelo found out and they eventually killed him the FBI tell everything or they saved him
Imagine that paying a guy to sweep for bug... but the equipment didn’t work
😂😂🤷
Makes me think of Bill Murray in ghostbusters walking around Dana's apartment pretending his equipment works conning her.
Wonder why the fbi arrested the guy for sweeping his house
"They would tap on every window of a van and say we know you are in there" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!
Lol I know 😂
Are u serious ?
I like to envision them sounding like exactly Paulie from sopranos and then giggling just like when he used to laugh at his own jokes.. maybe even throw in a "cunt" for good measure
@@pjmunroe6350 very much so and they would also send them food all the time
All these comments make me want to shut off my Alexa
If I was the guy searching for bugs, I would rather have been busted by the FBI for bad business practices, than busted by the mob.
I admire the narrator his musical voice ❤❤
🤩👍Amazing documentaries of some very important criminals… Thanks for informing us!😁👍
Eddie Murphy could of played all these characters 😂

I `ve heard snippets from some of the tapes on other docs. Are they made available to the public?
Sammy the bull podcast sends me to sleep coz I’ve always got it on ! Best podcast going 🤟🏼
“Yeah...I need someone to come sweep my house, please.”
"Bug sweepers r us, how can we help"!? 🤣
Let me bring my Flux capaciter to sweep it. I'll do it for 10k lol
Show up with a broom. The mob has a great sense of humor
Damn, the way they filmed these 90’s documentaries is dope, and funny 😂
Adam Definitely intense!
I don't like the likeness of the actors though. They should have had less acting bits as there is lots of real footage out there.
Everyone is gangsta until FBI shows up.
This documentary is interesting 💯🙌🙌
I mean come on the actor who played Paul Castellano you couldn't have found a bigger guy and put a pair of glasses on him 😒
Its weird but none of the movies about him showed him in glasses. strange
at least find actors that look close to real guys,look at angelo r.wfjoke
@isjw skksks It still should look similar to the real person. They should have used a larger actor to play castellano. If they are going to use actors on a show, they shouldn't look like the complete opposite of the real person. the actor was skinny without glasses, and Paul was fat with glasses. You are the one who seems like the dumbass, if you can't comprehend why an actor in a documentary series should look atleast close to the real person.
Peter Crean - Peadar Ó Croidheáin he looks more like Carlo Gambino than Castlelano .
@@mrjohnshaft1975 Carlos*
great documentary thanks
Well worth a listen.
These FBI file videos are gripping and amazing. This kind of mafia vontrols lot of businesses in southern Italy.
One of the four best pizza restaurants in Naples is run by Gino Sorbillo who served in the military and now retired and started the pizza restaurant. He helps the local businesses from taken over by mafias.
The FBI and these mafias are like playing chess games.
Thank you for sharing.
The FBI Files is on seven days a week here in the UK. Trouble is they only show the same few episodes again and again.
Facts
Preach it brother
The actor playing John Gotti looks more like Mark Fuhrman.
Who else is Binge watching These?
I've heard this story 1000x, but this documentary is still very interesting.
The diligence of FBI was incredible, ten years of hard work and dedication, with patience.
@Jitsu Dad sometimes it's better to cut the head of the dragon,rather than it's hand.
That's why I like to watch these things goes to show how patient & diligent these agents where...🤔
They were dedicated, unlike Hoover who always denies that there was even a Mafia.
And making deals with the very people they are supposed to be locking up.
How naive are you , really?
Anybody else catch that he keeps saying “Carlos Gambino” ?🤨... it’s Carlo
Right. The Narrator needs to learn the names.
@@MattyMadonna The narrator is hardly the author of the script.
Ben....its Carlos.....Carlos??? (The hangover).
i thought of that Trump press conference where he was going off about mexican drug cartels but then started bragging about his dad being in the mafia
i don’t care about politics we’re all idiots i just thought it as funny
@@kjlandon9140 😷🤣
Good evening Sonam..Thanks Axouni
I love falling asleep to videos like this.
Rico act broke them .
Rudi was responsible for the rico act... Hard to believe now.
the man who came round to sweep the house for bugs and it was a fake. he ripped the mob off 😂
I know right?! LOL 😆
@The Commission what do you THINK would happen there Jimmy 3 times????
That guy had serious balls.
The bum who ripped of the mob was found dead with.his balls missing.
That’s a story the Sopranos most definitely should’ve used.
The same. Strange because I think it's interesting to listen.

Imagine serving only 2 years for murder
Claude Dallas got off easy too he killed two and is now living free
all the people sammy killed knew what they were getting into, , they were made men or associates willingly , they knew the rules and concequences , also if they had been in the position to be asked to do a hit they would have done it no questions asked and some of them had so don't feel to sorry for them
Boy Gotti up there saying Rudy got what he deserved
Damn they really charged the guy that kept their investigation alive 😂
I love when they say the wire tap must be turned off but they still listen
They most likely do but that can’t be used in court 😂
Did I hear it right? a murderer was paroled after 2 years!?
thats about white
Yes I was shocked by that sentence as well.
Well what he was actually convicted of was Attempted Manslaughter NOT murder! Doesn't matter what he did what matters is what hes convicted of! And that whole "white" comment why don't you go look up Nicky Barnes or Frank Lucas's sentences they got! Lol Or better yet as someone already pointed out OJ Simpson! In case anyone is still delusional about race privileges in this country I'll help u out, the only color that has ever mattered and will only ever matter is GREEN!! U got money the rules dont apply to you like they do us!!
@Snaggle Toothed As someone else had pointed out Carlo Gambino hired Roy Cohen for Gottis lawyer and he was basically 'infamous' for lack of a better word for getting mob guys amazing deals with the DA. And of course this was before they started to actually use the RICO laws. And Gotti wasn't the trigger man Ralph Galione was. At the end of the day it's human beings that are the ones "enforcing" these laws and sentences so back in the 70's when Cosa Nostra was still in its glory day times it's not that hard to believe this situation! It more than likely was happening on a weekly basis back than. It's just we all know who Gotti is and have looked into his life se we're aware of his particular case.
@Snaggle Toothed lmao I just went back up to the comments to see who mentioned Roy Cohen and that was YOU!! Lol Yea bro u know the answer man. Even today it still rings true if u have an amazing attorney they can work certain wonders!
When Gotti was found guilty, his father was mad. He said, "For the first time in my life, I'm ashamed to be an American!" I felt the same way. For the first time in my life I was ashamed that he was an American!
Man!! That dude at the beginning reading right off the script! What an ACTOR!
Whenever big brother is not watching you, he's still listening.
Trebor Ironwolfe. Isn’t that the truth!!
Yes, did you see the movie Snowden? It opened my eyes to much government spying. For example, I did not know that you can be watched thorough your home computer even when you shut it down if you dont cover the hole at the top. Wow! I wonder what those spooks saw me doing and with whom?? Ha ha.
Lala Shelala. Yes Big Brother is always watching, I did see Snowden, very good movie.
@@WindDancer435 I've worked in IT for about 25-years and I feel confident saying that if your PC/laptop is completely powered-off then it is NOT possible for the camera to be accessed. However..
If it is in "sleep mode" or "hibernate" then it could be possible to send a "wake-up on LAN" command from a remote source and then they could hijack your camera.
Smartphones work in a similar way.. but I *have* heard rumors that gps, voice, and camera can still be accessed even when the phone is "powered-off". I'm not familiar enough with Android or iPhone O/S to say if this is true or not.
If you want to be extra safe from prying eyes, just remove the battery from your phone and put masking tape over your webcam. :)
@@treborironwolfe978 If you believe your computer cannot be hacked when powered off, then you have obviously NOT seen the movie "Snowden". The only way to not be spied upon is to disconnect the power cord. I see Snowden could teach even someone like you a thing or two. I certainly learned a lot.
I saw a documentary about how Gotti was living in prison. He had preferential treatment. He was living much better than his fellow prisoners.
Never true

Yeah because he was paying the white supremacists to mind his dumb ass ..mafia is meant to be a secret society.but gotti loved the limelight and fkd it all up ..Sammy the bull shuda been made boss after the casstellano/bilotti hit at sparks
Same dude. Same they are great documentaries and so relaxing at the same time
34:11 it always blows my mind 🤯 how they gloss over the fact that the FBI accomplished this several times. HOW? You’d think the Ravenite would have security on staff overnight or anytime it was unoccupied. That’s crazy. So the FBI just walks in with keys? How were they copied? At the Ravenite there were no alarms on when they’d leave at night? Almost all businesses have alarm systems. Cafes, restaurants, pizzerias. It’s bizarre.
It clearly just wasn’t like that. It always cracks me up when they said “the mob guys house is surrounded by armed soldiers watching the front and back 24/7.” It just wasn’t like that. They try to make what they did seem more miraculous then what I really was. It’s really simple to catch people when you can break the law. How hard is it to break into someone’s house and put a bug in it you think there’s always going to be somebody home 7 days a week 24 hours a day? It’s pretty simple
You would think there be someone in the lounge at all times no matter what.They never thought the fbi would do that.For how smart they are at doing crimes and murder they sure snoozed at that.Gotti never goes to jail if that dont happen.I think he wouldve gotten killed the chin wanted gotti real bad and he was going to do what ever.That car bomb was for gotti but he decided not to go in that car.The chin said he was good for decicco dying.Chin wasnt good he wanted gotti

Omg would have loved to see that guy who was a “professional bug sweeper” find out his client was actually bugged and not just paranoid lol.
Probably bad for him!
Probably more worry about why the fbi arrested him. They didn't know it was a fake sweep.
Haha he is probably dead after this incident
Imagine how many people are just paranoid

“Doesn’t believe in family, doesn’t believe in church” lmao Buddy, those are two of the mafias biggest keys, family and church😂😭. Funny how the FBI sees them as criminals. Not so much fun having competition is it Uncle Sam?
I love the briefcase the "agents" brought in for each wire tap 😂
As a 💈
Now in 2021, we are watching this through a bug.
Yup
Gotti destroyed the Gambino family single handedly
Loved you with the Funky Bunch
None of the other law abiding citizens in his club had anything to do with it?
Then why does the Gambino family still exist today in 2023?
Avoid taps and buffing... have your private discussions on empty New York subway trains, underground and away from the surveillance cameras of law enforcement... I used to eat at Sparks Steak House when I lived in Midtown on East 44th Street at 3rd Avenue. Sparks is at East 46th Street at Third Avenue.

This reminds me of all the older mafia movies. Good times.
They hang out and talk outside like nobody's watching.. donnie brasco
Good Times was a sitcom. Nothing alike.
Older get on a younger ones and still think they would last long 😂😂😂 with self made creams undercover in home toilets 😮😅😂
I love the how all the mob members have nicknames like Sammy the Bull. John Gotti had some of the best nicknames aka Dapper Don aka Teflon Don. Facinating to here these Mafia Cases
Thx

Fuck them call me gorgeous 😍
the interesting part about Gotti was, that though he appeared to be a celebrity he never gave any of the journalists following him an interview. The opposite to Joe Colombo.
does it matter.... it didnt help him anyways...
Also he started to model himself on the way Scorsese film gangsters spoke and acted .
What a tool ! On the plus side :
he's looked up to by retarded teenage boys who see him as
" glamorous " and a " Man of
Honor '' !!
@@2msvalkyrie529 sounds like you really admired the man.
He didn't have to his open and blatant bullshit was enough
As he was going around learning what scams and rackets the family were into as the new boss. The FBI was learning everything they are into aswell because he is under so much surveillance. It seems like a perfect storm of mistakes, new laws, rats and technology that did for Gotti.
Good videos true story from Gambino family
