Luigi Manocchio |
"Baby Shanks" (Luigi Manocchio) |
In 1979, Manocchio surrendered to law enforcement and pleaded guilty to several lesser charges, resulting in 30 months in prison.
In July 1996, Mannocchio was indicted with 43 others in a burglary ring sweep. Prosecutors claimed the sweep ended a wave of intrusions committed by a mob-sanctioned gang that produced 10 million in stolen goods. When his trial began in April 1999, Manocchio plead guilty and received three years probation.
Manocchio continued his steady rise in the ranks of organized crime, acting as underboss from 1998 until 2000, when he was promoted to boss.
Manocchio was promoted to boss of the Patriarca family following the imprisonment of many of the organization's other leaders.
