A recent incident in Queens involving the grandsons of the late mob boss John Gotti has shed light on a family feud that turned violent. Cathy Gabrielli, a 60-year-old grandmother from Howard Beach, was identified as the woman caught in the middle of a brawl between her son and the Gotti brothers, John Jr. and Frankie.
The altercation took place outside Gabrielli’s home on 84th Street when the Gotti brothers allegedly began assaulting her son, Gino. In an attempt to intervene and break up the fight, Gabrielli was accidentally struck in the arm by one of John’s punches. The police arrived to diffuse the situation, but not before tensions escalated and verbal insults were exchanged between the parties involved.
Gino Gabrielli, 32, recounted the events that led to the confrontation, including a dispute over unpaid rent for a property rented out to John Jr. and his sister Eleanor at a discounted rate. Gino claimed that John Jr. owed his grandfather two months’ worth of rent and had stopped paying after being caught cheating on Eleanor. This led to Gino taking matters into his own hands by entering John’s tattoo parlor and causing damage in retaliation.
The feud between the families escalated further when Gino’s father, Gino Sr., was allegedly assaulted by the Gotti brothers at a grocery store when he requested to spend time with his granddaughter. These incidents have fueled tensions between the two families, resulting in physical altercations and legal charges being filed against John Jr. and Frankie for attempted assault and harassment.
Despite the ongoing conflict, Gino remains adamant about seeking justice for his family and holding the Gotti brothers accountable for their actions. The legal proceedings are set to continue, with both parties expected to appear in court to address the charges brought against them.
The unfolding drama between the Gabrielli and Gotti families serves as a reminder of the lingering tensions and rivalries within notorious crime families, highlighting the complexities of maintaining peace and order in such volatile environments. As the legal battle unfolds, only time will tell how the feud will ultimately be resolved.
