During the late 80's and early 90's Gotti was constantly being charged with many crimes, but the prosecutors couldn't get any of the charges to "stick" (Gotti was always found "innocent" in court).
That all changed when Sammy Gravano turned against him.
I remember reading about the disappearance of the guy who accidentally killed Gotti's son (Frank). I think his name was something Favarra.
He was never found after his kidnapping and was declared dead after six years of being missing.
Although it was general belief that Gotti was behind the incident, it was never proven.
