Personal Life
Gotti was married to Debbie Lorenzo and have three kids together, Angie, JJ, and Sonny. Debbie accused Gotti of having an affair with Ashanti and ended up getting a divorce with him in 2013.
Though his marriage to Debbie did not work out, he moved on and is now married to Ashley Martelle, who is reported to have once been a Taz Angel. Gotti’s brother was involved in a shooting incident in New York in 2003.
Authorities questioned whether Lorenzo caused the wound on himself due to the way the bullet entered his leg during the investigation but no actual suspects were ever discovered.
Money Laundering Case
Murder Inc. changed their name to The Inc. following a 2003 inquiry that included a raid by 50 government agents on Murder Inc.’s Manhattan offices. Gotti surrendered to federal authorities in 2005 to face money-laundering allegations.
It was for assisting a friend and convicted drug kingpin in concealing over $1 million in illicit drug revenues. Prosecutors claimed that Gotti’s friend Kenneth McGriff was known as Supreme on Queens’ streets.
He would simply send sacks of cash to Mr Gotti’s label, Murder Inc., on Manhattan’s Eighth Avenue. Gotti, Christopher Lorenzo, Ronald Robinson, Ja Rule’s manager, and Cynthia Brent, the label’s bookkeeper, were all charged with money laundering.
Gotti and his brother pled not guilty and were freed on $1 million bonds after putting up their parents’ house in Bronxville to guarantee the bonds, and he denied collecting drug money to run his business.
