Two New England men in their 70s are heading to prison after admitting in a federal court to running an extortion scheme for years.

On Monday, Antonio “Spucky” Spagnolo, 73, and Pryce “Stretch” Quintina, 75, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to affect commerce by extortion, MassLive.com reported.

Prosecutors claimed the two elderly, one with a limp and the other with a hearing aid, were members of the New England Family of La Cosa Nostra, with Spagnolo as the acting boss of the New England mafia and Quintana as a “made” man who reported to Spagnolo, according to the Boston Globe.

The men may have appeared to be past their prime, but their indictments charged the two with threatening and intimidating business owners.
