Get Gotti: Sal Polisi’s Role With the Mob & What Happened To Him

Sal Polisi’s role within the mob as a whole — and what happened to him after John Gotti’s trial — is one of the more compelling aspects of Get Gotti. Salvatore “Crazy Sal” Polisi was an associate of both the Gambino and Colombo crime families, which led him to leave an indelible mark on the Italian American Mafia and New York organized crime scenes. As portrayed in Netflix’s three-part docuseries, John Gotti killed Paul Castellano, the former head of the Gambino crime family. After orchestrating Castellano’s death, Gotti rose to power, becoming the top dog of one of the Mafia’s notorious “Five Families.“
