An associate of the Genovese crime family is set to follow his dad behind bars — after getting sentenced Wednesday in the same racketeering conspiracy.

Michael Poli, 37, was hit with a 31-month prison term in Manhattan federal court for the illegal gambling and extortion scheme he ran with his father and four mobsters, according to prosecutors.

They should know that only the oligarchs are allowed to run casinos! Silly peasants.

Well the son got 9 months more for threatening people who couldn't pay, sometimes with a gun. That's definitely something that doesn't tend to happen in casinos nowadays.
