Family before feds, says ‘never rat’ mobster

Bonanno crime-family capo Vincent Asaro assured a judge he’s no rat Tuesday, as he copped to charges that he ordered henchmen to torch the car of a driver who cut him off in 2012.

As Asaro took a plea deal, Judge Allyne Ross suggested he ditch defense attorney Elizabeth Macedonio, who is also representing his alleged loanshark nephew Ronald Giallanzo because it would be dangerous for Asaro to ever turn government witness while his lawyer reps other wiseguys. “You may be inviting dangers that no one can anticipate at this time. It may be in your best interest to cooperate with the government,” the judge warned.

But Asaro, 82, who dodged prison for his role in the 1978 Lufthansa heist, told the judge he’s no rat.

“I would never cooperate against my nephew — or anyone for that matter,” a defiant Asaro said.

Asaro became enraged after a driver cut him off on a Queens road in 2012, following the man and figuring out his identity before ordering two men to torch the car.
