NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - Anthony "The Genius" Megale, a sanitation worker who prosecutors said became the highest-ranking mobster in Connecticut, was sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison Monday.
Prosecutors said Megale was the underboss of the Gambino crime family, the New York mob syndicate once run by John Gotti. Megale pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy in October but did not acknowledge being part of the Mafia.
U.S. District Court Judge Janet Bond Arterton said there was no doubt that Megale made a career running a crime syndicate, and sentenced him to 86 months in prison.
