An organized crime associate from Longmeadow is being sentenced to two years in prison.
The U.S. Justice Department says Gerald Daniele and four co-defendants were associates of the New York-based Genovese La Cosa Nostra crime family and engaged in various criminal activities in Greater Springfield.
Daniele was sentenced in federal court in Worcester on Monday, while the rest of the group is scheduled for sentencing over the next several months.
