Legendary mobster Sonny Franzese, 93, indicted for shaking down Hustler, Penthouse strip joints

The New York Daily News reports:
Legendary gangster Sonny Franzese just isn't the retiring type.

The reputed Colombo underboss has been indicted again - at the ripe old age of 93 - for shaking down the Hustler and Penthouse strip joints.

Franzese, who has been around long enough to have seen Frank Sinatra play the Copa, offered the skin clubs protection from other crime crews, prosecutors said.
