Fortunately for Joseph Percoco, they serve ziti in federal prison.
A former top aide to Gov. Cuomo was sentenced Thursday to six years in prison for accepting over $300,000 in bribes — which he referred to as “ziti” — from two businesses seeking favorable action from state government.
The sentence capped the downfall of the man Cuomo had described as a “brother.” The governor once said that his dad, Gov. Mario Cuomo, thought of Percoco, 49, as a “third son.”
To Manhattan Federal Court Judge Valerie Caproni, Percoco was “a bully” motivated by “greed and arrogance.”
