Mark Rossetti, the Patriarca capo who moonlighted as an FBI informant, was sentenced on Friday to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to loansharking and extortion charges as reported by Milton J. Valencia for The Boston Globe.
Last July Rossetti was convicted for orchestrating a home burglary to steal drugs and money, and he got 7 to 9 years in prison, and then earlier this year was sentenced to 12 years after pleading guilty to heroin trafficking.
The sentences on his string of convictions will run concurrently.
Rossetti was charged in October 2010 by the Massachusetts Attorney General with running a 30-member crew, and he remains a suspect in six murders according to the State Police.
A six-person team from the Department of Justice currently is investigating the FBI’s Boston field office over its use of Rossetti as an informant.
