Late mob boss ordered hit on demolition man Edward Garofalo.
In a court case that could have been lifted from an episode of The Sopranos, a reputed Gambino crime-family associate has been charged with taking part in the last rubout believed ordered by the late mob boss John Gotti.
Ex-con Daniel Fama, 48, was allegedly part of the hit team that gunned down demolition contractor Edward Garofalo in August 1990 outside his home in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn.
Fama’s murder indictment says Garofalo, known as “Eddie the Chink,” was killed to keep him from cooperating with authorities.
The Manhattan federal court filing also says that the slaying was orchestrated by Gotti henchman Salvatore “Sammy Bull” Gravano, who infamously turned rat and helped convict the “Dapper Don,” who later died in prison.
