Joseph D'Angelo D'Angelo
The bartender, George DiBello, suggested that the witness, Joseph D'Angelo, would surely have noticed the unusual décor of Our Friends Social Club, in Ozone Park, Queens, if he had been there, as he claimed in his testimony. Whether jurors believe that Mr. D'Angelo was ever in the club could be important to the prosecution's case against Mr. Gotti, who is accused of racketeering conspiracy, including conspiring to kidnap Curtis Sliwa, a radio host and the founder of the Guardian Angels. Testifying in Federal District Court in Manhattan earlier this week, Mr. D'Angelo said Mr. Gotti had convened a meeting at the Ozone Park club, where he ordered Mr. D'Angelo and two other men to rough up Mr. Sliwa, to punish him for insulting the Gotti family on his show.
