WORCESTER – A 46-year-old Worcester man was sentenced on Wednesday in federal court in Worcester to more than 11 years in prison for his role in a heroin and cocaine conspiracy.
Vito Nuzzolilo was sentenced via a videoconference hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Timothy S. Hillman to 134 months in prison and eight years of supervised release.
In Aug. 2019, Nuzzolilo pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine and more than 100 grams of heroin.
According to the Dept. of Justice, Nuzzolilo used his apartment and a separate “band room” in Worcester to distribute heroin and cocaine.
A federal wiretap revealed numerous communications in which Nuzzolilo coordinated the sale of heroin or cocaine to various drug customers. The investigation also revealed that Nuzzolilo coordinated with a New York-based source of supply for the delivery of significant quantities of heroin and cocaine to Worcester.
As a result of the investigation, law enforcement seized drugs from various locations, including from Nuzzolilo’s band room, his BMW, and from a car transporting cocaine from Nuzzolilo’s apartment in Maine.
Four other individuals have pleaded guilty and been sentenced in this drug conspiracy.
