SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 19 – John Rubeo plead
guilty in 2012 to
racketeering, gambling, drug
trafficking and robbery.
He was a
cooperator and has been out on
supervised release - until
without permission he went on
a podcast, resulting in an
article implying another
defendant had been
railroaded.
On
January 19 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
Second Circuit Judge Richard
J. Sullivan held a sentencing
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Sullivan told Rubeo that his
unauthorized podcast had cast
the court and even the law in
a bad light.
Rubeo
blamed the tabloid reporter
for characterizing it that
way. He emphasized he has
mostly complied for 29 and a
half months.
Judge
Sullivan said but for COVID,
he would remand him. As it
was, he assigned two more
yesterday of supervised
release, the first six months
in home confinement.
The case is US v.
Rubeo, 12-cr-260
