2 wiseguys dodge long prison time

Two Genovese mobsters avoided serious prison time at their sentencings Tuesday after pleading guilty to racketeering charges earlier this year.

Alleged Florida-based Genovese captain Nicholas Calisi, 54, and soldier John Campanella, 48, were sentenced to 24 months and 13 months in prison, respectively, by Judge John G. Koeltl in Manhattan federal court.

The two were among six alleged wiseguys charged for a scheme to rake in money for La Cosa Nostra through a “pattern of racketeering activity,” including gambling and extortion, from 2011 to 2022.

They faced a maximum 20 years behind bars.

Calisi pleaded guilty in February and prosecutors had requested up to 33 months behind bars.

He offered a brief apology, saying he was sorry for the trouble he caused the court and his family.

His attorney, Lawrence DiGiansante, argued that Calisi, who lives in Boca Raton, Fla., had started a new life by moving to the Sunshine State a few years ago.

But prosecutor Celia Cohen poked holes in DiGiansante’s claim, pointing out that the Genovese family has connections in Florida, and noting that the capo’s apology left out the victims of the gambling scheme.

Campanella brought his extended family to the courtroom in an effort to show his close ties to the community.

His attorney Stacey Richman argued the judge should allow him to continue to communicate with Genovese associates, after the prosecutor asked that Campanella be cut off from talking to fellow mobsters.

“This is not a rotary club, this is not a community organization,” Cohen argued.
