Timeline

1945

John "Johnny Carnegs" Carneglia (born 1945) is an American mobster in the Gambino crime family.

Carneglia was born in 1945 in Ozone Park, Queens.

For years, John Carneglia was heavily involved in large scale drug distribution networks with Gambino mobster Gene Gotti, the brother of John Gotti, and Gambino capo Angelo Ruggiero.

John and Charles Carneglia owned a junkyard in the East New York section of Brooklyn that was reportedly used for narcotics trafficking, disassembling of stolen cars, and burying mob murder victims.

John would allegedly remove jewelry from corpses prior to dissolving them in acid and then hang the baubles as trophies from the basement rafters.

1970

During the 1970s, John unofficially adopted Kevin McMahon, a 12-year-old boy he discovered sleeping in his pool house.

1980

In 1980, John Carneglia allegedly participated in the Favara murder.

While driving in the Howard Beach neighborhood, Favara accidentally hit and killed Gotti's 12-year-old son Frank Gotti as he was riding a minibike.

Carneglia and other Gambino mobsters allegedly abducted Favara from outside of his place of work in New Hyde Park, New York, murdered him, and placed his body in a barrel full of acid at the junkyard.

Favara's remains have never been discovered.

1981

In 1981, Carneglia allegedly disposed of the bodies of Giaccone, Trinchera, and Indelicato.

The three capos had been plotting against imprisoned Bonanno boss Philip Rastelli.

As a favor to Rastelli, Castellano allowed Rastelli associates to ambush the men in a Gambino social club, and then give the three bodies to Carneglia for disposal.

Carneglia allegedly buried the corpses in a vacant lot close to his house in Queens.

1985

In 1985, John Carneglia allegedly participated with other gunmen in the Castellano and Bilotti murders.

The two Gambino leaders were ambushed as they exited a car outside Sparks, a Manhattan steak house.

A witness stated that he saw Carneglia shooting Bilotti as he lay on the ground.

Allegedly, Carneglia was the gunman who actually shot Castellano in the head.

Carneglia's boss, John Gotti, had ordered Castellano's assassination so that Gotti could take over the Gambino leadership.

No charges were ever filed against Carneglia.

1987

In early 1987, Carneglia and Gotti went to trial on federal charges of loansharking, illegal gambling, murder, and armed hijackings.

On March 13, 1987, all the defendants, including Carneglia, were acquitted on all charges.

Later in 1987, Carneglia and John Gotti's brother Gene, went to trial on the 1983 federal charges of narcotics trafficking, obstruction of justice, racketeering, and operating a continuing criminal narcotics enterprise.

1988

In January 1988, the judge declared a mistrial on this second case due to government charges of jury tampering.

On July 27, 1988, in a retrial, the judge again declared a mistrial because jurors failed to reach a verdict.

1989

He was sentenced to 50 years in prison in 1989 for racketeering and drug trafficking charges.

John served as a surrogate father to McMahon until John's imprisonment in 1989.

After that, Charles supervised McMahon's activities as a Gambino associate.

On May 23, 1989, in his third trial on the 1983 charges, Carneglia was convicted of running a heroin distribution ring.

On July 7, 1989, Carneglia was sentenced to 50 years in prison and fined $75,000, the same penalty given to Gene Gotti.

2004

In 2004, children playing in the lot discovered one of the bodies.

2009

In 2009, McMahon became a government witness and testified against Charles.

Law enforcement believes that Carneglia either directly or indirectly participated in the murders of Bonanno crime family capos Philip Giaccone, Dominick Trinchera and Alphonse Indelicato; Gambino boss Paul Castellano and underboss Thomas Bilotti; and Gotti neighbor John Favara.

2018

He was released on June 11, 2018.
