Gregory J. DePalma (April 24, 1932[1] – November 18, 2009, Butner, North Carolina) was an American mobster who became a Captain in the Gambino crime family.

These friends included singers Liza Minnelli and Dean Martin, and baseball player Willie Mays, with whom DePalma frequently played golf.

Later in 1979, before the second trial, DePalma pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud; one piece of evidence that helped the prosecution case was the picture with Sinatra.

[7] In 2003, a new mob associate, Jack Falcone (FBI special agent Joaquín García), got close to DePalma.

[8] On February 21, 2005, DePalma, García, and another mobster Robert Vaccaro were meeting with Peter "Petey Chops" Vicini in the housewares section of a Bloomingdales department store in Westchester County.

When Vicini failed to show them proper respect, Vaccaro grabbed a solid crystal candle holder and began beating him on the head.

[8] On March 9, 2005, Garcia's undercover assignment ended as FBI agents arrested DePalma and 32 other Gambino mobsters on racketeering charges.
