Bongiovanni, 60, faced 11 charges, including bribery and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. for reportedly using his position as a DEA special agent to protect members of the Ron Serio drug-trafficking organization whom he thought were associated with Italian organized crime.Â
One way to grasp the prosecution's case is by categorizing witnesses into groups: the former Pharaoh's dancers and employees; a slew of drug dealers; Bongiovanni's DEA colleagues; the outside law enforcement agents who turned over informants and investigations to the DEA; and the handful of federal investigators who investigated Bongiovanni.
Twelve days after a jury convicted him, Joseph Bongiovanni on Tuesday asked for new lawyers to represent him, citing an irreparable breakdown in his relationship with his current legal team.
