Mafia? What Mafia?
The reputed consigliere of the Gambino family pleaded guilty yesterday to racketeering — but is sticking to the mob playbook of refusing to admit membership in La Cosa Nostra.
Joseph “JoJo” Corozzo “absolutely denies” allegations that he’s been a made member of the Gambinos since the 1980s and rose to become part of their three-member “administration,” said his son and lawyer, also named Joseph Corozzo.
The younger Corozzo also insisted his dad had nothing to do with narcotics trafficking — traditionally frowned upon by the mob — even though a bunch of co-defendants previously pleaded guilty to drug charges in the case.
Under terms of his plea bargain in Manhattan federal court, the elder Corozzo only admitted committing extortion and bookmaking.
