Joseph Watts (born 1942) also known as "The German" is an associate of the Gambino crime family. He was a close confidant of former boss John Gotti and participated in the infamous 1985 assassination of Paul "Big Paul" Castellano. Watts was not a made man due to being only Italian on his maternal side, while being German, Welsh on his paternal side. John Gotti appointed Watts as a liaison to the Westies, an Irish-American gang in Hells Kitchen. The Westies were being used as hired guns for the Gambino family under Paul Castellano, and continued under the Gotti regime.
