Carlo Gambino’s family was built on blood, but no faction was more shadowy than the “Cherry Hill Gambinos.” In Part 1 of our six-part series, we look at the origin story of Giovanni “John” Gambino—the savvy Sicilian who served as the monumental bridge for drug trafficking between Italy and the U.S.
While the Commission officially “banned” the narcotics trade, John was sitting at the top of a multi-billion dollar totem pole. From his illegal entry into the U.S. in the 1950s to his promotion as a Gambino “capo” under John Gotti, we detail how John established his power base on 18th Avenue in Brooklyn while his brothers, Joe and Rosario, set up the family’s headquarters in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
