In opposing Junior Gotti's bid for bail pending his September trial, the feds filed papers in court yesterday alleging that the mob scion "has amassed a staggering body count" that includes murders not identified in the indictment against him. Bruce Golding for the New York Post writes that the additional carnage "includes a bar patron he allegedly knifed to death in 1983":
"Gotti stabbed and killed Daniel Silva by his own hand," prosecutors wrote, accusing him for the first time of murdering the 24-year-old during a brawl at the Silver Fox bar in Queens. The feds said Gotti also "directly participated" in the subsequent murder of eyewitness John Cennamo, a friend of the victim's "who had spoken to police about the incident." A spokeswoman for the Manhattan US Attorney's Office declined to say if Gotti would be formally charged in the killings.
Gotti was indicted last summer on federal racketeering charges for his alleged role in the murders of George Grosso, Louis DiBono and Bruce John Gotterup and running a cocaine trafficking ring. Indictment Against Junior Gotti
