Introducing Salvatore “Sammy” Gravano, also known as “Sammy the Bull,” a figure deeply entrenched in the underworld of Brooklyn, New York, since his birth on March 12, 1945. Back then, being a mobster was more than just a job; it was a way of life.

But Sammy wasn’t your average gangster. He had big dreams, rising from a street-level drug dealer to a high-ranking Mafia underboss, all while building a family with his sweetheart, Debra Scibetta, and raising two remarkable children: son Gerard and daughter Karen.

Karen Gravano, in particular, broke the mold of the typical mob offspring, stepping into the spotlight as a star of VH1’s Mob Wives. Behind the glitz and drama of reality TV, however, lay a story of family bonds, loyalty, and the harsh realities of betrayal.

Sammy wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill mobster either; he was the right-hand man of John Gotti, the notorious head of the Gambino crime family. But Sammy held a secret that would change everything.

Faced with the prospect of taking the fall for his crimes, he made a daring decision: he became a government informant, testifying against his former associates, including Gotti himself.

His testimony led to the downfall of 36 Mafia members and the incarceration of Gotti for life. Given a new identity and relocated to Arizona, Sammy tried to leave his past behind. But trouble seemed to follow him, or perhaps he went looking for it.

In 1997, he left witness protection to tell his story in the book “Underboss,” co-written with Peter Maas. However, it became clear that Sammy wasn’t ready to leave his life of crime behind.

This biography, updated for March 2024, tells the story of Salvatore Sammy The Bull Gravano, a man drawn into the world of organized crime, navigating its treacherous waters of power, loyalty, and redemption.
