14 years imprisonment, 55 years imprisonment, life imprisonment (1987–1989)
Nicodemo Domenico Scarfo Sr. (March 8, 1929 – January 13, 2017) also known as "Little Nicky", was an American mobster who served as boss of the Philadelphia crime family from 1981 to 1990. Infamously known for his murderous reputation, Scarfo led the family through its bloodiest period until his conviction in 1988.[1][2]
During his criminal career Scarfo engaged in organized crime activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, labor union racketeering and gambling.[3] In 1988, he was convicted of multiple charges including conspiracy, racketeering and first degree murder. His trial consisted of the damaging testimonies of several informants, who had carried out his murders. Scarfo died in prison on January 13, 2017, while serving his 55-year sentence.[4][5]
He was the father of Nicky Scarfo Jr., a Lucchese family soldier, who was sentenced in 2015 to 30 years in prison for security fraud, racketeering, and illegal gambling.
