Joseph Graziano, owner of Costa Rica-based Beteagle.com, is sentenced to 18 months in prison in connection with his part in an online sports betting operation allegedly run by members of a mob in New Jersey.

The owner of a website involved in an illegal sports betting conspiracy with mafia members is facing jail time.

Joseph Graziano was sentenced to 18 months in prison on July 28 after pleading guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced Tuesday.

According to court documents, the 78-year-old was the principal owner of Beteagle.com, a Costa Rica-based website used to facilitate online sports betting. But New Jersey prosecutors said the operation was actually headed by 83-year-old Joseph Lascala, an alleged “capo” and made member of the Genovese Crime Family of La Cosa Nostra operating in northern New Jersey.
