The Bureau of Prisons says William D'Elia is now in the custody of the Community Corrections Office in Philadelphia. That office oversees halfway houses between Pennsylvania and New England.
The 66-year-old D'Elia pleaded guilty to charges in 2008 and was sentenced to nine years in prison but prosecutors had that term reduced because of his cooperation in cases against former casino owner Louis DeNaples and businessman Robert Kulick.
D'Elia, of Hughestown, is scheduled for release from custody in February. He faced counts including solicitation of murder before pleading guilty to two lesser charges
