Mob turncoat put hit on himself By; Patricia Hurtado Michael Di Leonardo, a high ranking Gambino crime family member testified for the government of his son’s refusal to join him in protective custody. Di Leonardo, a former capo, attempted to end his life after he had to testify against close friends, including John A. Gotti, son of John J. Gotti. Di Leonardo was the star witness against Peter Gotti, who was on trial with the U.

Di Leonardo’s own mafia career began when he was introduced into the family on Christmas Eve of 1988, along with John J. Gotti, who became a good friend. After Peter Gotti falsely accused him of stealing, however, Di Leonardo decided to meet with prosecutors.

Di Leonardo survived but later learned that John A. Gotti had summoned his son to see him in prison and informed Di Leonardo’s son that he would be willing to forgive Di Leonardo. This was a turning point of Di Leonardo and he decided to continue his cooperation with the police.
