Frank Locascio — Gotti's Consigliere Who Died in Prison After 31 Years of Silence On June 23, 1992, Frank "Frankie Loc" Locascio stood beside John Gotti in a Brooklyn federal courtroom and told the judge he was guilty — guilty of being a good friend of John Gotti. Both men received life without parole. Gotti died ten years later. Locascio served thirty-one years without ever cooperating with the government. He was eighty-nine years old when he died at Federal Medical Center Devens in Massachusetts. He never broke his silence. This is the full untold story of Frank Locascio — the quiet man standing next to the most famous mob boss in American history. From his early years as a bookmaker and loanshark in the Bronx, to his rise through the Gambino crime family ranks, to the night Paul Castellano was assassinated outside Sparks Steak House in December 1985, to the secret FBI bug in the apartment above the Ravenite Social Club that recorded the conversations that ended everything.
