Under Siege . . . By The Mob!

A parody of itself:

Three New York men — including the lighting contractor for the famed San Gennaro Feast and a reputed mob figure with ties to actor Steven Seagal — were arrested yesterday on extortion-conspiracy charges.

Newark U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said the case stemmed from an attempt by John Cappelli, whose company puts up the lights at the annual San Gennaro festival in Little Italy, to scare off a rival on another contract.

According to an indictment unsealed yesterday, Cappelli, 70, met with Michael Visconti, 37, at an Edgewater, N.J., restaurant June 2, 2004, and told him the competitor “was attempting to take business away from Cappelli through lower bids.”

Cappelli allegedly offered $4,000 to get the competitor out of the way.

Reputed mobster Angelo “The Horn” Prisco, 66, also took part in the chat, authorities said.

Prisco has been free on parole since 2002, after his politically connected attorney contacted officials in the administration of then-Gov. Jim McGreevey.

Prisco’s name also surfaced when Seagal revealed that he had contacted a top organized-crime “peacemaker” in 2003 to get protection from the Gambino crime family. The indictment said that Visconti visited Cappelli’s competitor, identified only as “EM,” at his Brooklyn shop and made it clear he had to pull out of the specified contract.

By the way, look for Seagal’s new blues album, coming soon!
