A burglar who was a key government informant against reputed Chicago mobsters has been sentenced to six years in prison for his crimes.
Prosecutors sought leniency for 56-year-old Mark Hay, noting that he'll likely be in the witness protection program for the rest of his life.
Hay was in a criminal group overseen by Michael "The Large Guy" Sarno, a mob boss recently sentenced to 25 years in prison for racketeering and other charges.
Hay wore a wire during meetings with group members and helped the government get others to become witnesses.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Amarjeet Bhachu says the so-called Chicago Outfit "does not look kindly on individuals who cooperate against it."
Hay allegedly continued to commit burglaries after promising the government he wouldn't commit crimes while cooperating.
