Luigi Goterelli is a member of the [[Leone Family]], a cosa nostra style mob family, and has been present in [[Liberty City]] at least since [[1998]], but this could however be put at [[1992]].
==Character history==
===Before 2001===
Luigi Goterelli was born in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] and became a member of the [[Leone Family]], eventually becoming a made man and opening his own business, [[Sex Club Seven]] in the [[Red Light District]] of [[Portland]]. The club is seen during [[The Introduction]], a prequel to [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], showing the business had started sometime before that point in [[1992]]. The death of [[Forelli Family]] [[Gang Leaders|Don]] [[Sonny Forelli]], however, cleared the way for the [[Sindacco Family]] to enter the city and the family took the Red Light District over, renaming the building [[Paulie's Revue Bar]]. In [[1998]] [[Toni Cipriani]] and other Leone Family mobsters took control of the area from the Sindacco Family and the [[Diablos]] in a [[Sindacco Sabotage|gang war]]. Shortly after this, the building is changed back to Sex Club Seven.


On the [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] Introduction DVD, the [[Red Light District]] area of [[Portland Island]], [[Liberty City]] is shown having [[Luigi's Sex Club 7]]. However in 1998 the same establishment is [[Paulie's Revue Bar]], run by rival mob family the [[Sindacco Family|Sindaccos]]. This could be explained two ways. Number one is that the idea of Paulie's Revue Bar was not made until after the release of the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Introduction DVD, and would be a continuity error. Or second, that the on-going war between The Leones and The Sindaccos saw the establishment lost to The Sindaccos between 1992 and 1998.
===2001===

(from [[The Fuzz Ball]] mission)</ref> Whilst Luigi does not appear again, his business continues to appear throughout the rest of [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. He is mentioned for the last time in the mission [[Sayonara Salvatore]].


In July 2001 Luigi was on trial for "running premises for immoral purposes and for pandering women for profit". Luigi had hired a lawyer, who was rumoured to be replaced by another lawyer.

Luigi did not appear however until Grand Theft Auto III, set in [[2001]]. By 2001 The Leones had all but won the war against the [[Forelli Family]] and the [[Sindacco Family]] and Luigi's Sex Club 7 was firmly a Leone establishment. Luigi runs the club along with [[Mickey Hamfists]], and is a made man in The Leone Family. Mickey Hamfists however was not charged along with Luigi in July 2001.

Luigi also employs [[Curly Bob]], who is selling The Leones down the river to the [[Colombian Cartel]] in exchange for the drug [[SPANK]]. Luigi makes one more appearance after his missions, and his fate is unknown following Grand Theft Auto III.

Character history

Before 2001

Luigi Goterelli was born in Liberty City and became a member of the Leone Family, eventually becoming a made man and opening his own business, Sex Club Seven in the Red Light District of Portland. The club is seen during The Introduction, a prequel to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, showing the business had started sometime before that point in 1992. The death of Forelli Family Don Sonny Forelli, however, cleared the way for the Sindacco Family to enter the city and the family took the Red Light District over, renaming the building Paulie's Revue Bar. In 1998 Toni Cipriani and other Leone Family mobsters took control of the area from the Sindacco Family and the Diablos in a gang war. Shortly after this, the building is changed back to Sex Club Seven.

2001

In 2001 he was accused by the Liberty Tree newspaper of being a pimp and, although he denied all the accusations, his lawyer appeared to confirm this accusation.[2] 8-Ball, an old friend of Luigi's, introduces Luigi to Claude, who is looking for work after escaping from a Liberty City Police Department convoy.[3] Luigi has Claude bring Misty back to the club from the hospital[4], before employing him on a more regular basis. Luigi has Claude kill a drug dealer, who is selling to his prostitutes, and steal his car[5], drive Misty to Joey's Garage[6], kill two rival pimps[7] and drive prostitutes to the Old School Hall for an LCPD party.[8] Claude and Luigi meet again when Claude drives him to Salvatore Leone's Gentlemen's Club for a meeting.[9] Whilst Luigi does not appear again, his business continues to appear throughout the rest of Grand Theft Auto III. He is mentioned for the last time in the mission Sayonara Salvatore.
