Thomas "Tommy" Gambino, the eldest son of the founder of the American mafia empire Carlo Gambino, has died at the age of 94, the US media announced today.
The family added in the announcement that the former millionaire mobster had died on October 3, and from natural causes.
The daily New York Times reported in 1992 that the mob boss had accumulated "at least $75 million in cash, bonds or bank stocks."
He is the grandson of the one known as "Big Paul" Castellano, who had Carlo in charge of the crime family, which was then eliminated in 1985 by order of Gambino's new godfather, John Gotti.
In the famous murder, Tommy Gambino had come to the Sparks Steakhouse restaurant in Manhattan, shortly after the elimination of Castellano and his driver Tommy Bilotti.
Tommy Gambino, who was previously described as the "prince of the New York City mob," was convicted in 1993 of racketeering and gambling racketeering and illegal loan sharking in the Connecticut area.
He served his sentence in several prisons from 1996 to 2000.
The prosecution then used in the trial recorded conversations between him and the repentant mafia Salvatore "Sammy" Gravano.
Thomas' younger brother Joseph, who never became famous, died in 2020 at the age of 83.
In 1992, the brothers who owned the trucking monopoly Consolidated Carrier Corporation and several construction companies in the Garment District were accused of corruption, racketeering, trade-fixing, threats and more.
At the time, the Porkurors had managed to place eavesdroppers on the mobsters' businesses, recording hundreds of hours of conversations that led to the accusations, writes New York Magazine.
The brothers had accepted a plea deal with prosecutors and paid $12 million in fines and business restitution.
Thomas was married to Frances, the daughter of mob boss Tommy Lucchese, who is now 92 years old. They have one son, Thomas Jr., 63.
