Joseph "Sonny" Juliano (born 1938 New Utrecht, Brooklyn) is a New York City mobster and a reputed caporegime in the Gambino crime family.
His relative Joseph Juliano was active during Prohibition, involved in hijacking bootleg alcohol in Passaic, New Jersey.
Although it has not been confirmed when Juliano was inducted or promoted to the rank of capo in the Gambino crime family, the US law enforcement began a federal investigation of Juliano in the late 1990s, apparently recognizing him as a capo, commanding his own crew in the Brooklyn faction of the family.
Juliano employed over 90 "runners", including several retired men with thick glasses, noticeable limps and walking canes, to collect on the illegal bets.
The court also ordered Juliano to forfeit $550,000 in gambling proceeds to the state and pay $37,000 in back taxes.
