On June 23, 1963, Marino pleaded not guilty to assault. He and several cousins were charged with assaulting an
FBI agent outside a Catholic church in
Brooklyn. A
requiem mass was being conducted at that time for
Carmine Lombardozzi, a crime family figure and Marino's uncle.[3]
On April 20, 1993, Marino was indicted with others on conspiracy to murder charges. The victim was Thomas Spinelli, who had been planning to testify before a grand jury on Cosa Nostra control of the private trash hauling industry in New York City.[4]
In 2010, Marino pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge for approving the murder of informant Frank Hydell (Marino's nephew on his wife's side).[6][7] The Gambino family suspected that Hydell had become a government informant and requested permission from Marino, then in prison, to kill Hydell.[8] Marino was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in 2011.[9] He was released from prison on August 27, 2014.
