Mafia Snitch Gets Snitched Out Of Gambling Racket

(AP) JERSEY CITY, N.J. Like Michael Corleone in "The Godfather," he tried to get out, but they just kept pulling back him.

Mob snitch Peter Caporino faces prison time for continuing to run a gambling racket while informing for the government.

The 70-year-old Caporino, nicknamed "Petey Cap," will serve a seven-year prison term, most of it in isolation.

While running a Hoboken members-only social club, Caporino helped inform on numerous members of the Genovese crime family, though authorities say he was never a ranking member.

His information led to the convictions of 16 Genovese members and associates.
