What Happened To Tommy Manzo? Where Is He Now?

Tommy Manzo was found guilty of several charges related to a violent crime. He was convicted of committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity, conspiracy to commit a violent crime in aid of racketeering resulting in serious bodily injury, and falsifying and concealing documents related to a federal investigation.

The charges stemmed from an incident in 2019 where Manzo was accused of being involved in a violent attack on a man named John Perna. Perna claimed that he was beaten up by a group of men, including Manzo, at a bar in New Jersey. While the attack left Perna with several injuries, it’s important to note that Manzo has always maintained his innocence and has denied any involvement in the attack.

The charges against Manzo were part of a larger racketeering investigation that targeted members of the “DeCavalcante crime family.” The prosecution claimed that the attack on Perna was motivated by a dispute over money owed to the DeCavalcante family. However, Manzo’s legal team argued that the government’s case was based on weak evidence and that there was no proof that he was involved in the attack.

Despite his claims of innocence, a federal jury found Manzo guilty on all charges. The conviction was a major blow to Manzo, who had been a well-known figure in the New Jersey social scene for many years. He was sentenced to a prison term of 10 years and ordered to pay a hefty fine. Manzo is currently serving his sentence at a federal prison in Pennsylvania.

It’s important to note that while Manzo was convicted of the charges against him, the legal process does not guarantee that he was actually involved in the attack on Perna. The jury’s verdict was based on the evidence presented at trial, but it is possible that there were other factors that were not fully considered.
