Curtis Sliwa says he’d like to see down-and-out don John “Junior” Gotti move to the deep south – as in hell.
The former Gambino crime boss admitted to The Post last week that he can’t afford the upkeep on his Long Island Gold Coast mansion and intends to move to the warmer and cheaper climes of Florida or South Carolina after unloading his Oyster Bay Cove estate.
Sliwa, the mob-bashing radio host who survived a 1992 hit that Gotti allegedly orchestrated, supports the move: “Yeah, he should move south – straight to hell without an asbestos suit.”
Sliwa scoffed at Junior’s cry of poverty, pointing to the purported ex-gangster’s plan to temporarily move to Long Island’s North Fork before heading south.
“He’ll probably own a vineyard out there,” Sliwa sneered. “He’ll be swimming in moolah.”
Gotti says he’s fallen on hard times since paying more than $1 million in legal fees to cover three federal trials involving the shooting of the Guardian Angels founder. All three cases ended in mistrials.
