Sammy Bottino

Sammy "Sonny" Bottino is an unseen character in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V, and a former underboss of the Gambetti Family. He had been Don Jon Gravelli's right hand man but went into hiding out west in 2007 due to murder charges in Vice City. After going into hiding, he was replaced by Roy Zito as the acting underboss of the Gambetti Family.

According to his daughter Antonia, Sammy pretty much ran the East Coast in the '80s and '90s. In 2011 he was arrested, took a plea bargain and became a snitch. In 2013 one of Bottino's many enemies had two men kidnap his daughter Antonia and attempt to bury her alive in the San Andreas desert however she was saved in the nick of time by either Trevor, Micheal or Franklin. Afterwards she had $60,000 transferred into the account of whichever character saved her.

Prior to his 2011 arrest Bottino had been arrested on four other occasions: in 1981 for grand theft auto, in 1982 for hijacking, in 1984 for manslaughter and in 1993 for racketeering.
