Gregory J. Scarpa Jr. (born August 4th, 1951) is a former American mobster and caporegime in the Colombo crime family and government informant.
During the 1990s, Scarpa was sentenced to 40 years in prison for racketeering, and provided the government with information about terrorist tactics and possible attacks orchestrated by Ramzi Yousef.
[6] Judge Reena Raggi agreed, ruling that Scarpa had not provided substantial assistance but had actually colluded with Yousef to mislead the government and chose to amend his initial sentence by doubling the length of his imprisonment.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation had previously searched the home multiple times and the new discovery "embarrassed the F.B.I."
In December 2015, Judge Korman issued an order reducing Scarpa's sentence to 30 years in prison due to his tip in the Oklahoma City bombing case.
