Life without parole for orchestrating the death of his New York Mob associate father, Sylvester Zottola
Anthony Zottola received life without parole for orchestrating the death of his New York Mob associate father, Sylvester Zottola, in 2018.
Anthony, planning to inherit his father’s multi-million-dollar real estate empire, hired hitmen to assassinate the elder Zottola.
Sylvester Zottola survived several attempted hits starting in 2017, including one he narrowly survived with multiple stab wounds and a slashed throat and another where he was shot in the hand, chest and head.
Sylvester Zottola’s luck finally ran out in July 2018 when Anthony’s hired gun shot him to death while he waited for coffee in a McDonald’s drive-thru.
Sylvester, also known as “Sally Daz,” was a reputed associate of the Lucchese crime family and worked with former Bonanno boss Vincent Basciano.
