GULFPORT — George Ludwigsen will soon be sentenced for breaking into safety deposit boxes in Mississippi with a saw — and that’s not nearly the most exciting criminal caper the 40-year-old Hallandale Beach resident has to his credit.

Earlier in the decade, Ludwigsen and his more famous younger brother, Chris Paciello, partied with celebrities at their South Florida nightclubs, enjoying the collaboration of the Bonanno crime family. Paciello then went to prison for murder.
