A reputed mobster caught-on-camera slugging a New York City restaurateur has “no regrets” about landing the blow, his lawyer said Monday — as the elderly tough guy was sentenced to two years in prison for the extortion plot.
Jerry McMahon, the attorney for alleged Genovese crime family capo Anthony “Rom” Romanello, argued in Brooklyn federal court that even he would have punched steakhouse owner Shuqeri “Bruno” Selimaj during the 2017 encounter.
“His lawyer thinks that beyond any shadow of a doubt that Rom has no regrets. And why should he?” McMahon said.

It’s New York City 🌆 🌃 🏙, why am I not surprised?!
“ McMahon also insinuated that Romanello wasn’t part of the mob anymore after bailing on the Genovese Christmas party last year —”
That’s all you have to do to get out of the mob? Not go to the Christmas party? Easier than you would think.
And at his age (86) he could throw a good punch? I think for that alone they should applaud him. Sounds like the club owner is kind of a jerk.
One click of an Evite, and your jumped out.
And where will this ‘tough guy’ spend eternity... ?
Not much of a punch. Why would a DA even charge such a thing?
I don’t want to offend anyone here but my family lived next door to a “mob guy”. He was a pretty nice guy really. I was just a kid and he treated me with respect. Occasionally he would pay me $10.00 just to start his car. And he didn’t do like regular grown-ups, he let me do it on my own and didn’t stand over me like my parents would have done. Nice guy.
HA!
Maybe he didn’t stand over you when you started his car because he thought it might blow up….
Wow! That kid is lucky!
😂😂😂
Who would want to stand around someone testing the car ignition for a bomb?
Are you suggesting he might not be a “ nice guy”?
