 Retired NYPD cop, Michael Rizzi | A former NYPD officer who married into the mob was sentenced in May to 15 months for a high end prostitution operation he ran. Michael Rizzi, an officer from 1992 to 2000, admited to profiting from roughly two dozen prostitution businesses, including dozens of round-the-clock online operations that provided door-to-door service of women to johns. The Staten Island resident had pleaded guilty in October 2016 to money laundering conspiracy for an operation that raked in more than $2 million in credit card transactions alone between October 2012 and May 2016. |  The U.S. Attorney's Office announced that it had taken steps to “restrain” Rizzi's websites. |
 | Rizzi is married to Jill Juliano, the daughter of Gambino crime family soldier Richard Juliano, whose older brother is Joseph (Sonny) Juliano, a powerful Brooklyn-based capo overseeing their waterfront operations. Authorities had alleged that Rizzi’s operation replaced the shuttered Pure Platinum Models, a Manhattan-based online prostitution site taken down by police years ago. His Staten Island based business went under the name MJM/Manhattan Stakes and Entertainment, or BJM. Some of its customers spent as much as $100,000 each, with one spending $25,000 for a single night. |  Francesco Paolo Augusto Calì is the boss of the Gambino crime family. |
