gunmen who invaded their home. Their daughter was shot 13 times but managed to survive the 2023 bloodbath. Lawmen have nabbed 14 of 16 suspects in Wedding’ s operation and hope to catch up with him sooner than later.“ The alleged murders of his competitors make Wedding a very dangerous man,” says FBI Los Angeles chief Akil Davis.“ His addition to the list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, coupled with a major reward offer, will make the public our partner so that we can catch up with him before he puts anyone else in danger!” |
John Alite recently became a town councilman in New Jersey
Ex-mob enforcer climbs politics career ladder to help others |
A FORMER mob hitman has become a New Jersey town councilman and is considering a run for Congress because he says he wants to serve his fellow man rather than kill him! John Alite, 62, served 14 years in prison for six murders and dozens of shootings and vicious beatdowns while working for the Gambino crime family once led by the |

late“ Teflon Don” John Gotti. But he was recently sworn in as councilman in Englishtown after being handpicked to fill a vacant seat by borough Mayor Daniel Francisco, who was impressed by the onetime enforcer’ s work with troubled youths! The former thumb-breaker tells The National ENQUIRER he wants to serve the remainder of the council term but is eyeing bigger things in the political arena.“ I want to eventually move on to Congress,” he says.“ People on both sides of the |
aisle have been calling me.” Alite plans to use his street smarts and experience as a Queens, N. Y., cocaine dealer in the 1980s to combat illegal drugs. Tragically, he lost his 30-year-old daughter Chelsea to a fentanyl overdose in 2023.“ I learned from my past experiences, which were negative,” he explains.“ For the past 15 years, I’ ve been working with troubled innercity kids because at some point I said to myself,‘ I have to make this about other people, not me.’” Alite claims he once earned $ 1 million a month dealing cocaine with his then best pal, John Gotti Jr. But he left his life of crime behind after flipping on the mob boss. For those who may criticize him for his mobster days, Alite says,“ I changed my life. A lot of people can’ t get past my background, but it’ s my past.“ I want to be the poster child for troubled kids who want to change their lives!” |

as Zizian Maximilian Snyder. The computer scientist, 22, pleaded not guilty to murder. Prosecutors believe Lind was slain to stop him from testifying against his former Zizian tenants. Authorities say in November 2022, Lind was stabbed 50 times, impaled with a sword and blinded in one eye by three assailants after attempting to evict LaSota and his rent-delinquent minions. Lawmen state that wounded |
Lind fatally shot suspected attacker Emma Borhanian, 31, in self-defense. Alexander Jeffrey Leatham, 29, and Suri Dao, 24, were arrested for murder and attempted murder. They also pleaded not guilty. LaSota, 34, was not charged in the 2022 incident, but cops say she was at the bloody scene when they arrived— despite being believed dead after reportedly falling off a sailboat in San Francisco Bay |
four months earlier! Authorities have also connected the shadowy group to the 2022 New Year’ s Eve gunshot murders of Rita Zajko, 69, and her husband, Richard, 72, in Pennsylvania. In February, LaSota was arrested in Maryland with Michelle Zajko, the late couple’ s 32-year-old daughter, and Daniel Blank, 26, after a landowner allegedly ordered the trio off his property. |
The three suspects, who are being held without bail, are accused of obstruction and trespassing— while LaSota and Zajko also face gun charges. At a hearing, LaSota whined in court,“ I haven’ t done anything wrong.” One investigator, an ex-cop, tells The ENQUIRER,“ It would make sense to look at [ the Ziz ians ] for uncleared murders that dove tail with their presence in an area.” NE |
