Where Is The Gotti Family Today?

John Gotti's oldest son John A. Gotti (a.k.a. John Gotti Jr.) initially followed in his father's footsteps, reportedly serving for a number of years as his successor as the head of the Gambino family when the elder Gotti went to prison. In 1999, Jr. was found guilty of various mob-related crimes and sentenced to prison. After his 2004 release, he faced four separate trials on racketeering charges, though he was never found guilty. By 2010, he claimed that he'd made the decision to leave "the life" during his first stint in prison. However, "the life" found Jr. yet again in 2013, when he was stabbed in the stomach after breaking up a fight in a CVS parking lot. Jr. was reportedly "uncooperative" with the police, and no arrests were made. 

Lately, Jr. has been focused squarely on legitimate income streams. He released a book, Shadow of My Father, in 2015, which details "his father's unwavering dedication to the street," as well as his own life in and out of the "Family." Jr. also reportedly served as an advisor to the director of the aforementioned 2017 biopic Gotti, and has said that he's involved with a documentary project. 

Jr. told Gangsters Inc. in 2016, "I was offered an enormous amount of money to play a television judge. I was also approached to do a one man stage show. But my projects, the book and the movie were more important, and those other opportunities were passed on." Accordingly, he now lives a mostly quiet life in Long Island with his wife and six children. As of 2018, he was working on Witsec Mafia, a book and film project aimed with rooting out crime and corruption in the Witness Relocation program.
