The feds must believe if you try, try, try and fail, fail, fail, you must try again, because it seems they are going to charge John Gotti Jr. with a new set of murder charges. The Post reports "Junior will likely be charged with at least five murders," including a Queens man who Gotti Jr. "allegedly disemboweled" in 1983, using a boxcutter or linoleum knife. And that's not all: Junior allegedly got help from "more than a dozen" dirty cops.
A number of cops were allegedly on the take to protect the Gambino's drug dealing operations in various Queens bars during the 1980s and 1990s, and some even "assisted in or covered up" murders committed by the mob. The Post's source gives a standard for a moral code saying, "None of [the cops] pulled the trigger, but they clearly violated the public trust. Mobsters are supposed to behave like that. Cops aren't."
The prosecutors would need to figure out how to get around the five-year federal statute of limitations before charging Gotti Jr. Last year, after a third mistrial in the government's case against the supposed acting boss of the Gambino crime family, the prosecutor said that going after Junior a fourth time "was above [his] pay grade." These days, Gotti Jr. is claiming he's poor. You can read more about him at Gang Land News.

The article starts off stating that Gotti will be charged with murder. It then states "The prosecutors would need to figure out how to get around the five-year statute of limitations before charging Gotti Jr."
But there is no statute of limitations for murder. The story, therefore, is either incorrect (about the possible charges), or it is wrong.
Lock the cracka up!
I should clarify - the federal statute of limitations is five years, while there is none for the state. But it's unclear if the state wants to take this up.
can't somebody kill this guy while making it look like an accident or suicide? we need to pay a mexican immigrant like a million dollars to cross the border, give Gotti the old Italian neck-tie or whatever, and then we'll transport the guy through an underground bunker back to his country (like the one Sadam supposed had to tunnel all those weapons of mass destruction).
is this really so difficult?
why should he be killed again?
Hey Jen: your clarification is incorrect. Although there is a five-year statute of limitations on federal civil rights violations, there is no statute of limitations for murder.
He looks like a nice middle aged family man to me. What is the problem?
Yeah, they said the same thing about Gotti senior, right before he whacked his neighbor and made him disappear.
well first of he is a nice guy and john SR didn't whack his neighbor that by the way ran his son over !!!!
