Wife and Son of The Saint Make Deal Video

PROVIDENCE, R.I. The wife and son of reputed mafia captain Anthony “The Saint” St. Laurent Sr. have made a deal with prosecutors in a pending federal extortion case.

Dorothy St. Laurent and her son Anthony Jr. have agreed to plead guilty to shaking down Massachusetts bookmakers for protection money. In exchange for the guilty plea, St. Laurent Jr. will not have to testify against his father, who is also facing extortion charges. The plea also states the U.S. Attorney's office will recommend Dorothy St. Laurent do no jail time and be sentenced to probation. Prosecutors accuse Dorothy St. Laurent of being the "primary collection agent" for the family and collected about $4,100 every two weeks.

A judge ultimately has to sign off on the deal and can impose any sentence.
