Thank your father, Vince.
  • Thank your father, Vince.

One day after Frank Russo stepped in front of a courtroom and pleaded guilty, his son, Vince Russo, did the same.

Vince Russo will get 18 months in prison after copping to obstruction charges. He's set to be sentenced the same day as his father, December 10.

It became apparent during the last week that Frank Russo pleaded guilty and was cooperating with authorities to save his family further trouble. This included the FBI not pursuing additional corruption charges against his son Vince, who was charged in July.

The PD has further interesting details on how the Feds leveraged Vince to get to Frank.
