A work of the United States government, published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the image page shows no third-party credit. Public domain in the United States under 17 U.S.C. § 105. The FBI serves the image at the cited URL; a copy downloaded from it on 12 October 2026 is stored here.

The FBI image repository titles this entry “Criminal Profile of John Gotti.” It is a graphic, not an original photograph: a picture of Gotti with a short FBI-written summary. The caption begins “A longtime mobster and eventual boss of the Gambino crime family” and ends “Gotti was convicted of murder and racketeering in April 1992 and died in jail.” The full caption is on the image page. The repository lists the file at 46 KB.

The graphic is undated. The family and rank in the caption are the FBI’s words; this archive does not place Gotti on the Gambino chart from them. For a portrait, see the 1980s surveillance photograph.

The copy shown here is the original file, downloaded from the FBI image repository on 12 October 2026.
