Mafia boss' son Joseph Basciano gets light sentence for pot trafficking


Joseph Basciano (left), 27, leaves Manhattan Federal Court after being sentenced to prison for trafficking marijuana.

The son of imprisoned Mafia boss Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano was sentenced to six months in prison and six months’ home detention Wednesday after copping to his role in a cross-country marijuana trafficking enterprise.

Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Sullivan went easy on Joseph Basciano, 28, urging him to “get a real job, pay taxes and do all the things that ordinary people do” after his release.
