Pasquale (Uncle Patty) Falcetti a reputed capo in the Genovese crime family was sentenced to 30 months behind bars on loan sharking charges.
According to court documents Falcetti made a $34,000 loan to mafia snitch Anthony Zocolillo who then used the cash to start up a weed operation. Prosecutors said the mob turncoat knew if he didn’t pay the outrageous and illegal terms of the loan he would have to pay in blood.

Judge Lorna Schofield told Uncle Patty at sentencing that she was concerned that once he was released again he would go right back to his criminal activities. The now 55-year-old mobster did a six-year stretch for racketeering back in 2003. Along with the 30 months, he also has to pay a fine of $5,000 along with a forfeiture of $34,000 and will serve 3 years of supervised release.
