Son Sentenced to Life for Murder-for-Hire Plot Orchestrating Father's Death

Anthony Zottola hired hitmen to kill his father, Sylvester Zottola, a reputed Bonanno crime family associate, in order to take control of his properties.
Zottola plotted for over a year to kill his father and brother to inherit their real estate empire worth millions of dollars.
Zottola was convicted of murder-for-hire and conspiracy charges for orchestrating the 2018 shooting death of his father in a McDonald's drive-through.
After his father's murder, Zottola cleaned up the crime scene and provided false security footage to investigators.
Zottola worked with a network of hitmen hired by a high-ranking Bloods gang member to carry out the murder.
