GOTTI FAMILY MOB ENFORCER JOHN ALITE TO GIVE AUTHOR TALK AT THE MOB MUSEUM THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
Author Talk About the Gotti Crime Family to Begin at 7 p.m.
On Thursday, September 10, John Alite will present an Author Talk at The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. Alite collaborated with George Anastasia to publish the book “Gotti’s Rules: The Story of John Alite, Junior Gotti and the Demise of the American Mafia” and has 25 years of insider knowledge about the Gotti family from his career in organized crime.
“Gotti’s Rules” tells the story of Alite’s involvement with the Gotti family. Alite describes the Gottis as a “dysfunctional group of Mafia misfits” but acknowledges he isn’t innocent in his work for the American Mob. Alite worked with the family as a Mob enforcer and business partner during the 1980s and 1990s until he fled the country in 2003 to escape prosecution. One year later, Alite was captured and turned against the Gotti family, testifying as a government witness in several trials against John Gotti’s son, Junior Gotti.
This Author Talk is free with Museum admission and free for Museum Members. For more information, go to www.TheMobMuseum.org or call (702) 229-2734.
