Michael Persico the son of jailed Colombo crime family boss Carmine “The Snake” Persico wants to rip of his guilty plea on loansharking charges. He pleaded guilty to loansharking over two years ago in a deal which gave him immunity from being prosecuted on several possible murder charges. But now Perisco claims the feds are breaching the agreement which has him facing 37 to 46 months in prison at sentencing.
“Michael Persico”
Now the mob scion doesn’t like the idea that he could be facing upwards of five years. Prosecutors are arguing that the deal was already agreed upon and he is now stuck with it. Perhaps he should be gracious for such a sweet deal to begin with considering he could face more then 20 years if he was convicted at trial on murder conspiracy and extortion charges.


Wow ! This guys was getting what seems like a heck of a sweetheart deal here and he is the one trying to back out. Not sure what him or his lawyers angle is here but he could end up on trial and be in way worse shape for sure. Crazy
I dont know what he is thinking he should just do his time and be happy he is not in prison for longer.Also does anyone know who is leading the Colmbo family now because dident carmine Persico die in prison
Carmine is still alive and is still the “official” boss of the Colombo family although via proxy since he has been in prison. He still has enough blood relatives involved in the mob family to keep the official reigns although one would think that is coming to an end sooner rather then later. As for now Andrew Russo was last known acting boss on streets.
Yearh alot of the persicos have been convicted in recent years i wonder how much strength they had left within the family
