The underboss of the Colombo crime family was sentenced to 63 months in prison today on mob racketeering charges.
Benjamin “The Claw” Castellazzo, 75, will also have to pay $400,000 in restitution and serve three years probation.
The wiseguy – who’s the second highest-ranking member of the Colombos – began his 55 year-long criminal career in 1958.
Castellazzo had pleaded guilty to a mob extortion stemming from a dispute over a stolen red sauce recipe from Brooklyn’s L&B Spumoni Gardens pizza restaurant. He also admitted shaking down of a construction company.
