Mafia experts say Riina was on his way to exterminating the rest of his rival clan when their American relatives and associates - including members of New York's Gambino family, of whom John Gotti, the infamous dapper don, was a member - intervened on their behalf. The ruthless Corleone leader was convinced to spare the remaining Inzerillos in exchange for a pledge: neither they nor their offspring would ever again set foot on Sicilian soil.

On the tape, the Mob boss talks wistfully of Connelly's "precious little kid." "She look like I told you?" he asks his brother. "I feel bad I can't do the right thing, but what am I gonna do, you know what...
...Shakespeare sort of said, it is a wiseguy that knows his own child. But with Gotti in the grave, the only thing for certain is that he is still the main attraction. "They just won't let my husband rest in peace," fumes his widow Victoria. A godfather with secrets never does...
