Michael Guidici robbed Maspeth Federal Savings and Loan Association in 2012.
A Queens man admitted in Brooklyn Federal Court Friday to sticking up a
bank five years ago — with the help of John Gotti’s grandson.
According to prosecutors, Michael Guidici walked into Maspeth Federal
Savings and Loan in April 2012 and handed over a note saying “I have a
bomb.”
He made off with almost $6,000, leaving the scene in a getaway car
driven by John J. Gotti, the grandson of the late Gambino crime boss.
The teller was Gotti’s girlfriend, according to court papers.
He admitted to the crime in Brooklyn Federal Court Friday.
The bank robbery is contained in the same indictment that charged
longtime Bonanno wiseguy Vinny Asaro with ordering the torching of a car
that cut into his traffic lane.
Gotti and another man in the bank heist getaway car, Matthew "Fat Matt"
Rullan, were also charged in the arson, which happened about two weeks
before the bank robbery.
John J. Gotti, grandson of the late mob boss John Gotti, helped Guidici pull off the heist.
Federal sentencing recommendations say Guidici, 22, could get three
years — but prosecutors say they won’t fight a defense bid for a
sentence below the guidelines.
Last month, Asaro, a capo in the Bonanno crime family, pleaded guilty
to ordering the 2012 arson. At the same time, Gotti and Rullan turned in
their own guilty pleas, saying they were involved in the arson and
robbery.
