John “Junior” Gotti yesterday blasted the feds for trying to drag him back into court for his alleged involvement in a host of faded gangland murders – and even offered to take a lie-detector test to prove his innocence.
The Post yesterday reported that law-enforcement officials are trying to nail the beleaguered Mafioso with at least five murders, including the disemboweling of a Queens man in 1983.
Offering to take a nationally televised polygraph test to prove his innocence, Gotti said prosecutors are relying on tall tales being fed to them by Mafia turncoats hoping for leniency in their own criminal cases.
“Where were all these people before?” he asked while standing outside his family’s home in Oyster Bay, LI.
Gotti, who is being pursued simultaneously by both the lawman and the taxman, is scheduled to appear in a White Plains courtroom today as the Internal Revenue Service seeks to collect $80,000 it says he owes.
