Jackie (The Nose) D'Amico pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit a 1989 assault on Staten Island businessman Fred Weiss.
A one-time acting Gambino boss took a plea deal on a 20 -year-old racketeering charge Thursday.
Jackie (The Nose) D’Amico was facing life in prison on a racketeering conspiracy that included murder, extortion, money laundering and other crimes.
But he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of conspiring to commit a 1989 assault on Staten Island businessman who was murdered by another mobster. He faces a maximum of three years in prison when sentenced.
D’Amico’s co-defendant, Joseph Watts, is still on the hook for the other racketeering cases that include 11 murders.
A reputed longtime pal of Watts’, former NYPD detective and private eye John McNally, is mentioned in the indictment but was not charged.
