James McBratney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James McBratney (November 17, 1941 – May 22, 1973[1]) was an Irish American who is believed to have been involved in the kidnapping of Emanuel "Manny" Gambino (nephew of Carlo Gambino) in October of 1972 and Lucchese crime family caporegime Francesco Manzo.

McBratney was murdered on May 22, 1973 at a Staten Island bar by Ralph Galione, John Gotti, and Angelo Ruggiero on the orders of Carlo Gambino, as referenced in the 1996 HBO made-for-TV film Gotti, in a murder which helped to establish Gotti as a force in the Gambino crime family.[2]
