Oz mobster Mick Gato to build playgrounds for autistic

Oz underworld veteran Mick Gatto has failed again in a defamation case over an ABC article he says accused him of threatening to kill lawyer Nicola Gobbo. Initially Gatto asked for an apology, but later sought the “maximum payout”. It was tossed and Gatto was ordered to pay costs. Latest for Gato is a charity that is raising money to build playgrounds in Melbourne for children with autism.

Gatto was involved in a well publicized Salvation Army event in 2019. "I wish youse would leave me alone with this sort of stuff, I'm trying to do the right thing," Gatto said, "If I can contribute to society I'm very happy to do it."
