Former New York Mafia Boss Caught Distributing Porn in the Big House
Ex Mob Boss Caught With Porn.
He may be under lockdown 23 hours a day, but that didn't
stop ex-Bonnano chief Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano, from getting
his hands on pornography inside Brooklyn's Federal Metropolitan
Detention Center aka "MDC". Apparently, Basciano got snitched on by a
jail house rat, that he was passing messages through other inmates
inside MDC's law library in exchange for contraband items such as Porn,
stamps and DVD's.
When Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) officers searched Basciano's cell,
it's reported that a DVD and several unauthorized magazines including a
copy of Esquire were found hidden under his bunk. As a sanction for
violating prison rules, the Feds pulled Basciano's commissary privileges
for 30 days, and moved him to the notorious "10 South" terrorist wing
at the BOP's lockup in Manhattan.
Prosecutors are investigating the possibility that Basciano might be
secretly communicating with the outside world, claiming that he seems to
speak in code during visits with his son.
Basciano is being held under custody conditions normally reserved for
terrorists after being accused of scribbling a "hit list" with the names
of a judge, prosecutor and cooperating witnesses five years ago.
Federal officials continue to marvel at how Basciano's hair is always
immaculately groomed, and his skin remains mysteriously tanned
suggesting other contraband violations.
