Sammy Gravano details why he turned against John Gotti on Hannity podcast
In a recent interview, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano explained that secret recordings of John Gotti convinced him to become a government witness.
During a conversation on the "Hang Out With Sean Hannity" podcast, former mobster Sammy "The Bull" Gravano recounted the moment he chose to work with authorities against John Gotti. He described how covert recordings of Gotti talking about the Castellano killing and other criminal activities first sparked frustration. Following their arrests, Gotti’s effort to control legal tactics and portray Gravano as a monster in court convinced Gravano that the Mafia’s loyalty oath was dead.
Gravano later discovered that Gotti was planning to have him killed, reinforcing his break from the organization. He also revealed his participation in 19 murders and his involvement in orchestrating the hit on Gambino boss Paul Castellano. The interview provides a rare insider view of the internal dynamics that led a high-ranking associate to turn state's evidence.
