Reputed Mafia Chieftain John Gotti discussed killing a man for having missed an appointment with him, according to transcripts of security tapes unsealed Friday by a Federal Judge.
The tapes were recorded by FBI agents at Gottis Manhattan headquarters. According to transcripts, Gotti talked with an associate about the killing of Louis DiBono 63, a member of Gottis organization who ran afoul of the boss in late 1989. "He didn't rob nothing. Know why he's dying?"
Gotti asked. "He's gonna die because he refused to come when I called. He didn't do nothing else wrong." DiBono was found shot in the head last October 1990.
