Paul Mancuso of Utica, NY indicted for illegal asbestos removal and conspiracy to commit fraud
45-year-old businessman Paul Mancuso of Utica, NY, has been indicted—along with his father and brother Steven—for violations of the federal Clean Air Act and the Superfund Act for illegally removing asbestos from numerous sites in Upstate New York. They have also been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and to defraud the United States. Another brother, Ronald, has pleaded guilty to similar charges and admitted to dumping asbestos along roadsides. Paul Mancuso was convicted before of illegal asbestos removal in 2004, and he now faces a sentence of up to 55 years in federal prison and a maximum $2.75 million fine if convicted on the pending charges.
As part of his prior conviction, Paul Mancuso was prohibited from being involved in asbestos abatement. The current changes against the Mancuso family arise from their various roles in hiding Paul Mancuso’s continuing involvement in asbestos abatement businesses.
