Louis “Bobby” Manna denied release

A federal judge has once again denied the release of Louis “Bobby” Manna, 91. The former consigliere of the Genovese crime family will almost certainly die in prison.

Known as “The Thin Guy,” Manna was once one of the most powerful mob leaders in the U.S.

Mobster Louis Manna has spent 33 years in jail. The elderly wiseguy who planned a hit on John Gotti should be freed his lawyer says. Manna is serving an 80-year sentence after being convicted in 1989 for his role as the consigliere of the Genovese crime family, as well as ordering a hit on mob boss John Gotti and his brother Gene. Prosecutors have acknowledged that Manna is no longer a threat to society.
