Geezer Gangsters Get A Sweet Opioid Deal: They Didn't Sell Them; They Gave Them Away
Two
aged and ailing Genovese mobsters arrested for the possession and sale of
opioid pills, a charge carrying prison terms up to 25 years, have each

The septuagenarian wiseguys, a pair of down-on-their-luck ex-bank robbers who stole millions of dollars during their heyday, Elio (Chinatown) Albanese and Carmine (Baby Carmine) Russo, pleaded guilty to a felony drug conspiracy count last week. They each received a conditional discharge as part of a plea deal so sweet you'd think the Manhattan District Attorney's Office was having a post-Valentine's Day sale.

ready to tell the Court why the government agreed to let Bonanno family boss
Michael (Mikey Nose) Mancuso plead guilty to a lesser violation of
supervised release (VOSR) than the one with which he was first charged.
