Due to his poor health, a federal judge in Brooklyn decided to ease the punishments meted out to a suspected underboss of the Colombo crime family and former illegal gambling kingpin.
The suspect entered a guilty plea to the conspiracy charge of money laundering. These had to do with his ongoing attempts to subvert a labor union located in Queens and seize command of its health care benefit plans.
Prosecutors requested a sentence of more than two years in prison; however, he received a sentence of 15 months.
