The extraordinary maintenance of one of the foothill basins of Mount Vesuvius is part of a wide-ranging programme of measures implemented by the Campania Region to reduce the hydraulic risk in the entire area of the Sarno river basin operations had started in the Fornillo tank in Terzigno while now in the so-called ‘phase two’ it is the turn of San Giuseppe Vesuviano The lack of maintenance and the use of the tanks as sewage drains has caused the waterproofing of the bottom with a progressive loss of absorption capacity that is due to the frequent flooding of the surrounding areas.The current activity will allow the removal of the sludge accumulated in the tanks An intervention of fundamental importance for the environment and health that is grafted onto the works of reorganisation of the collecting systems of San Giuseppe Vesuviano But before removing the water and materials accumulated in the tanks it will be necessary to wait for the results of the tests on the toxicity of water and sediments.Particularly challenging were the operations at the Pianillo tank which is currently full of water.In order to operate it was necessary to place a vessel capable of supporting the weight of the drill used for drilling in order not to compromise the functionality of the embankment of the tank It was also necessary to equip the yard with a motor boat and to place a pier for mooring Once the drilling and sampling operations are completed and if the results respect the limits allowed by law The approximately 150,000 cubic meters of water of the Pianillo tank will be conveyed to the Angri (SA) sewage treatment plant through the consortium sewage collector of the Medio Sarno district The second phase of the intervention will involve the removal and transfer to collection centres of sediments accumulated inside the tank.Thanks to the intervention of the Campania Region the tanks will return to their original function to the great benefit of the resident population and the surrounding environment John Gotti was an American mobster and crime boss who had a net worth of $30 million at the peak of his criminal empire (after adjusting for inflation) John Gotti (1940-2002) was an American organized crime boss who became head of the Gambino crime family one of New York's most powerful Mafia families He gained the nickname "The Teflon Don" due to his ability to avoid conviction in several high-profile trials during the 1980s Born in the Bronx to Italian immigrant parents, Gotti grew up in poverty and became involved in street gangs at a young age. He rose through the ranks of the Gambino family, becoming a protégé of underboss Aniello Dellacroce. In 1985, Gotti orchestrated the assassination of Gambino boss Paul Castellano outside Sparks Steak House in Manhattan Gotti became notorious for his flamboyant style Unlike traditional mob bosses who avoided the spotlight Gotti's reign ended in 1992 when he was convicted of multiple charges largely due to testimony from his former underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano He was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole and died of throat cancer at a federal prison hospital in 2002 The Gambino family made hundreds of millions of dollars each year from a combination of loan sharking According to the book "Underboss," the Gambino crime family's annual turnover was $500 million Sammy the Bull Gravano claimed that in a typical year he and Gotti both earned $5 million and that in many years they both earned $10-15 million He was born fifth in the order of his ten siblings but his grandparents came from San Giuseppe Vesuviano a town near the province of Naples in Italy His father worked sporadically as a day laborer and Gotti resented him for not being willing to work harder to provide better for the family he did not attend school regularly and acted as a bully when he did go His criminal activity and involvement with street gangs began when he was 12 years old he gave himself a permanent limp by injuring his foot in a failed attempt to steal a cement mixer Lane High School for a period but dropped out when he was 16 and joined a mafia-associated gang called the Fulton-Rockaway Boys Among the gang's members were future Gambino mobsters Angelo Ruggiero and Wilfred "Willie Boy" Johnson Gotti was one of the members of the hit squad that was tasked with killing the primary suspect which led to Gotti being identified and then charged with murder With the help of infamous attorney Roy Cohn he arranged a plea bargain that resulted in a short four-year sentence he chose Paul Castellano to be his successor rather than his underboss who was in prison at the time and could not contest the decision Gotti was released in 1977 and became a made man in the mob and they were Dellacroce's most profitable crew under John he participated in the largest unrecovered cash robbery in history Gotti's 12-year-old son was killed on a family friend's minibike and although the death was ruled an accident the family friend was abducted and presumed murdered within a year Castellano was indicted in a RICO case in 1984 and chose Gotti and two others to take over as acting boss John was already beginning to conspire with other mob members and the Families to take control After Dellacroce died of cancer in 1985 and Castellano revised his succession plans again Gotti resolved to take Castellano out of the picture He consulted members of the other Five Families that were in his generation as it would have been too risky to approach the bosses themselves but after another family carried out several bombings his trial was delayed due to fears that the publicity would taint the jury By the time jury selection began for his trial in August of 1986 the Gambino family had already secured an acquittal or hung jury by paying a juror $60,000 The next year John was acquitted of all charges the media referred to him as "The Teflon Don" because the justice system appeared to favor him and charges never stuck it was Gotti's insistence that the group meet at the Ravenite Social Club once a week that would be his downfall Although he would escape conviction in a 1989 assault case he was arrested in 1990 and charged with racketeering The FBI's tapes succeeded in causing a rift between Gotti and his underboss Gravano who ultimately agreed to testify against Gotti and he surrendered himself to federal authorities in December 1992 Gotti was incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary located in Marion a medium-security facility located in southern Illinois and he subsequently paid two members of the Aryan Brotherhood between $40,000 and $400,000 to kill his attacker This led to the targeted individual being moved to a different facility It was speculated that the Aryan Brotherhood never intended to follow through with the killings Some of their children have gone on to star in various reality television shows like "Mob Wives," "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," and their own family's reality show "Growing Up Gotti." John passed away from throat cancer at the U.S Medical Center for Federal Prisoners at the age of 61 Gotti had been at the Missouri facility since 2000 when his cancer returned two years after he underwent surgery to remove a tumor © 2025 Celebrity Net Worth / All Rights Reserved
