John A. Gotti, 44, was arrested on federal conspiracy charges at his home in Oyster Bay, N.Y., on Tuesday morning.
But on Tuesday, Mr. Gotti was arrested on federal conspiracy charges, linking him to the killings of three men in New York in the 1980s and ’90s, federal authorities said.
According to an indictment Mr. Gotti, 44, is accused of conspiracy to commit murder in the killings of George Grosso in 1988, Louis DiBono in 1990 and Bruce John Gotterup in 1991. He has also been accused of possessing and trafficking in more than five grams of cocaine. If convicted on all charges, Mr. Gotti could face life in prison.
Mr. Gotti, known as Junior, is the son of John J. Gotti, who received the nickname the Teflon Don because he evaded several convictions from 1984 to 1990. The elder Mr. Gotti was convicted in 1992 of authorizing the killing of Mr. DiBono, who was found shot seven times — with four bullets to his head — slumped in a Cadillac sedan in the parking garage of the World Trade Center. Mr. Gotti received a life sentence and died in prison in 2002 at age 61, having made the family name synonymous with organized crime.
Five other men who prosecutors said were members of the Gambino crime family were also listed in the indictment.
