In what law enforcement officials described as the American Maia's highest ranking desertion, John Gott's right hand man in the Gambino organized crime family has defected and is expected to be a government witness against Mr. Gotti on charges that he is the nations top Mafia leader.The Gotti confidante,Salvatore Gravano, who was indicted last year as a co-defendent with Mr. Gotti on murder and racketeering charges,has entered the Federal witness Protection Program. The authorities asserted that because of the two men's close ties,Mr. Gravano's testimony could provide a crushing blow to Mr.Gotti, who has been acquitted of lesser charges at three trials in the last five years and has become the No. one target of the FBI.
