FLORENCE - The reputed head of the Montreal Mafia has been released from a federal prison in Colorado.

Burke said Rizzuto was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty in 2007 to racketeering charges. Rizzuto was given credit for time served and good behavior.

Rizzuto was in prison in Colorado for racketeering related to three Mafia murders.
