Six months house arrest for mobster, 97
Albert “The Old Man” Facchiano, a 97-year-old whose life of crime in the US dates to the days of Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel, was sentenced today to six months of house arrest and 18 months of probation on racketeering charges.
Facchiano, first arrested 75 years ago and also known as “Chinky,” pleaded guilty in February to a Florida racketeering conspiracy charge and a New York witness tampering charge, which carried maximum sentences of 30 years behind bars. The two cases were combined in Florida.
