Gravano said in Fox Nation's new "Gotti's Guy" documentary that he loved John Gotti until prison, when he concluded Gotti planned to use FBI wiretap tapes to pin the case on him.
After hearing recordings of Gotti disparaging him, Gravano said his feelings turned from "love to hate" during 11 months in jail, leading him to cooperate in the 1992 trial that sent Gotti to prison for life.
That cooperation deal required Gravano to plead guilty to racketeering and admit to 19 murders, making his account central to one of the Mafia's most consequential turnarounds.
The documentary also features former Gotti aide Lewis Kasman, who said he still mourns Gotti, described handling millions in Gambino cash, and said the crime family earned an estimated $100 million to $500 million a year.
