New York – After six years behind bars, the son of late mob boss John Gotti left his prison cell Wednesday and arrived at his mansion on Long Island’s Gold Coast, where he’ll remain under house arrest pending a retrial in a racketeering case.
John A. “Junior” Gotti, 41, was released from a federal lockup in Manhattan on $7 million bond and then went to his estate in Oyster Bay Cove, said his lawyer, Jeffrey Litchman.
While under house arrest, Gotti will be subject to such restrictions as electronic monitoring and random searches.
It took two days to finalize paperwork to spring Gotti, who claims he has renounced his mob ties after serving as boss of the Gambino crime family. A judge declared a mistrial on most charges in his racketeering case last week, clearing the way for his release pending retrial next year. Gotti was indicted after a botched plot to kidnap a radio show host.
