Man Who Touched Off Mob Power Struggle Spared Prison

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- A reputed Mafia captain whose failed shakedown of a Stamford strip club owner touched off a mob power struggle and provided the FBI a rare look into the workings of the Gambino crime family was spared prison time Wednesday.

Ignazio "Iggy" Alogna, 72, of Pocono Lake, Pa., faced up to 20 years in prison but a judge placed him on six months home confinement and three years probation after Alogna said he was a down-on-his-luck retiree and his family's only caregiver.
