A self-confessed former “underboss of the most powerful organised crime family in the country”[US] has been baptised.

Salvatore Gravano – widely known as “Sammy the Bull” Gravano – underwent water baptism, declaring he’s asking for forgiveness “not from a judge or jury, but from God.”

In a recent YouTube interview with US-based pastor Mark Francey, Gravano said: “I’m asking Jesus for redemption, and peace.” Gravano described having spent 22 years in prison, being in three Mafia wars and also being involved in 19 murders. “I was extremely loyal to Golden Astro, which is the Mafia,” he said.
