Legal maneuverings may delay the sentencing, but, as the lawyers for the family hash out remaining legal issues.

Paul Mancuso faces a maximum of 45 years in federal prison for his role in violating asbestos disposal regulations. Paul was already on probation from a previous insurance fraud conviction, as well as engaging in the business was a violation of that probation. His brother Steven, an attorney, was found guilty of forging documents to help cover it up as well as faces up to five years. Father Lester faces up to five years, as well as the prosecution has asked the judge to order him to make documentation of claimed illnesses ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to heart disease as well as stroke, suspecting fraud.

A third brother, Ronald Mancuso is as well as implicated as well as awaiting sentence, but has agreed to testify against his family members in exchange for a lighter sentence.
