A year after the assassination attempt against the younger Scarfo, he and several members of the Newark branch of the Scarfo organization were indicted on gambling and racketeering charges. The elder Scarfo was also named in an indictment charging him with heading an organized crime family and plotting the murders of those he suspected of shooting his son. He was never brought to trial, however.



In July 2015, the younger Scarfo was sentenced to 30 years in prison for racketeering, conspiracy, and related offenses. His earlier convictions came on charges of assault (1988), racketeering (1993), illegal possession of a knife (1996), and bookmaking (2002) _ the only one of Scarfo's three sons to follow in his father's footsteps.
