The grandson of the late mob boss John Gotti has been arrested and charged for allegedly leading a crew of drug traffickers.

The Queens D.A.'s Office says 23-year-old John Gotti was the head of a seven-person crew charged for allegedly selling painkiller drugs and other pharmaceutical controlled substances.

He and the six other defendants are accused of pedaling the drugs in Howard Beach and Ozone Park over the last year. Investigators say they recovered nearly 240-thousand-dollars in cash and more than 850 Oxycodone and Xanax pills inside Gotti's and three other crew members' homes and vehicles. Police dubbed the sting "Operation Beach Party."

Gotti was charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance, conspiracy and money laundering,  as well as operating as a major trafficker.

"We'll always chase organized crime around. There's no shift there. They're still there,” said Robert Boyce, NYPD Chief of Detectives. “A lot of their influence has been changed in this city. We're just making sure this younger generation, as you see, John Gotti Jr. a young man, is that he doesn't get into the same level that his grandfather did."

If convicted, he faces up to 25 years behind bars. His grandfather, known as "the Teflon Don," died in federal prison in 2002 while serving time for his 1992 conviction on racketeering and murder charges.
