One of the state’s most notorious Mafia figures will likely face deportation to Italy after being found guilty of extortion, drug and weapons offences.
38-year-old Rocco Arico was arrested in March 2015 after police found a semi-automatic pistol and a drug hidden in the seat of his motor scooter.
A jury in the County Court found Arico guilty on Thursday, having heard evidence from a longtime friend turned police informant during Arico’s trial in November.
