The scion of a famous old Manhattan bakery family was sentenced Monday to five years of probation in connection to a mobbed-up drug trafficking ring.
Frank Parisi, 62, who works for Parisi Bakery, which has been in his family for four generations, was an alleged distributor for the $15 million marijuana operation headed by reputed Bonanno associate Richard Sinde.
The baker previously copped to two counts of conspiracy and agreed to forfeit $40,000 as part of a plea deal reached in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Parisi was busted last year with nearly two dozen defendants. Prosecutors said that they seized 20 pounds of marijuana during a search of his apartment, which is above the Elizabeth Street bakery.
Accused ring leaders Sinde and John Kelly allegedly coordinated the shipment of hundreds of pounds of medical-grade marijuana from California to New York between February 2014 and November 2015, authorities said.
Kelly took a plea deal in May in exchange for one year in jail. Sinde’s case is still pending.
