Vincenzo Randazzo was convicted today by a federal jury in Brooklyn of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. The conviction arises from Randazzo’s robbery of an Empire State Bank branch in Brooklyn on March 5, 2026. The verdict followed a two-day trial before United States District Judge Carol Bagley Amon. Prior to trial, on August 26, 2026, Randazzo pleaded guilty to the robbery of Empire State Bank on March 5, 2026. When sentenced, Randazzo faces a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years in prison, which must run consecutively to the sentence imposed for the bank robbery.
