Junior Gotti Said to Have Been Arrested on Murder Conspiracy Charge

A law enforcement official says John A. "Junior" Gotti has been arrested on a murder conspiracy charge.

The official says the charge stemmed from a federal investigation originating in Tampa, Fla. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the charge had not been officially announced.

Gotti has had three criminal trials end in mistrial. He is expected to make an appearance in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday for a removal hearing.

A call to his attorney seeking comment was not immediately returned.
