Mob wanted to off Giuliani.
Edited on Thu Oct-25-07 08:36 PM by 133724
If John Gotti had his way two decades ago, Rudy Giuliani wouldn't be a front-running presidential candidate right now. He would never have become the mayor of New York nor risen to international prominence in the wake of 9/11.

No, if the Gambino crime boss had his way, Rudy Giuliani would be dead.

According to the FBI, Gotti wanted Giuliani shot, the victim of a mob-hit carried out in the midst of the then-US Attorney's prosecution of a prominent organized crime case

...

"The bosses of the Lucchese, Bonanno and Genovese families rejected the idea, despite strong efforts to convince them otherwise by Gotti and Persico," wrote then-FBI Agent Lindley DeVecchio in September 1987, documenting a tip from his mole in the mob, according to the New York Daily News.

....

The former mayor says the mafia put an $800,000 contract on his head when he first became a federal prosecutor, then says it was "an insult" to learn that a later contract was only for $400,000.

1. Have they given up?
Or does Rudy need to keep body guards the rest of his life?
