The mob has a new don - Don Juan.
Bonanno crime boss Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano has persuaded the feds to bend the rules and let his ex-wife and his mistress visit him on alternate weeks in jail.
The flamboyant gangster is locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, serving life for racketeering while awaiting a death-penalty trial for a murder.
He's caged 23 hours a day under conditions usually reserved for terrorists because he's suspected of plotting to kill a federal judge and prosecutor.
Normally, only relatives would be allowed to visit him under prison policy.
But as prosecutor John Buretta explained in court Thursday, the warden has agreed to allow Basciano's goumada, Debra Kalb, to visit every other week.
Defense lawyer Richard Jasper wanted to make sure Kalb's visits would not interfere with visits by Basciano's ex-wife, Angela, and their four sons.
"He shouldn't have to choose between relationships of natural family members," Jasper said. "He has a relationship with his former wife as well."

So, is Vinny Georgous boning the warden, or some controlling supervisor at the prison? Must be something going on in a back office somewhere.
We are such a corrupt Country that something like this is now reported not with the appropriate outrage, but with a big fat yawn.
Senator Basciano.
If that’s the mistress on the left, she must have “hidden talents”. Ick.
This is like the ‘three bananas’ skit with Lou Costello and Mr. Bacciagalupe.
Anyone remember the jail scene in the movie GoodFellas
Yeah. That was a good movie. Those times in that area were about as crazy as depicted.
Yikes. He’s not so gorgeous, and neither are the wife and the girlfriend. Standards must be pretty low in the Mob.
