(The Washington Post) from the determined young prosecutor who, in two of America?s most celebrated trials, managed to convict famed mob boss John Gotti?and ultimately took down the Mafia altogether. John Gotti was without a doubt the flashiest and most feared Mafioso in American history. He became the boss of the Gambino Crime Family in spectacular fashion?with the brazen and very public murder of Paul Castellano in front of Sparks Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan in 1985. Not one to stay below law enforcement?s radar, Gotti instead became the first celebrity crime boss.

Five years later, Gleeson was in charge of the second racketeering investigation and trial.
