Federal authorities announced that Ciro Perrone, 87, a “capo” or captain in the Genovese Organized Crime Family, has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Perrone was convicted by a jury in June 2007 following a two-week trial of all counts against him, including racketeering.
Perrone has been a member of the Genovese Family since at least the 1960s, the feds said.
He was convicted of four separate racketeering acts including operation of a gambling business, loan-sharking conspiracy, and loan-sharking against two victims; RICO conspiracy, conspiracy to make extortionate extensions of credit; and conspiracy to use extortionate means to collect extensions of credit.
