That incident was observed, however, by a New York police officer sitting in an unmarked car.
After passing sentence, Judge Allyne Ross ordered Asaro to pay $21,276 in restitution for the damages to the car.
In an unexpected moment of contrition, Asaro apologized and described the plot as a “stupid thing I did”.
He was charged – and acquitted two years ago – over the infamous 1978 Lufthansa heist, which was immortalised in the Martin Scorsese gangster classic Goodfellas.
