Mobster Lukey DiMatteo Sentenced to 5 Years for $100K Shakedown of Tattoo Parlor

A Colombo mobster has been sentenced to five years prison time for a $100,000 shakedown of a Brooklyn tattoo parlor.

Federal prosecutors accused Lukey DiMatteo of extorting $150 per week from the owner of the unidentified business for nearly 20 years up until his arrest.  His uncle Luca DiMatteo, a capo in the Colombo crime family, was also tied to the scheme and sentenced to 33 months behind bars earlier this year.

Lukey DiMatteo was also charged with loansharking, illegal gambling and sports betting.
