Anthony John Soprano Sr. is the protagonist of the HBO television series "The Sopranos". Tony is a member of the Italian-American Mafia and a future boss of the North Jersey DiMeo crime family. Had he been arrested at the end of the series, these are the criminal charges he would have faced.
Our exploration extends beyond fiction as we draw parallels to real-world scenarios. We examine cases of real-life criminals and their prosecutions, drawing on legal expertise to examine the likelihood of Tony Soprano's criminal activities leading to actual charges.
Please note that the video you are about to watch is entirely fictional and is produced solely for the purpose of raising awareness on the consequences of committing a crime. The scenes depicted in this video are not real and do not reflect any actual events or persons. We do not condone or promote any illegal or unethical behaviour, and this video is intended to serve as a cautionary tale to deter individuals from engaging in criminal activity.

The best thing about Sopranos was how they didn't have someone killing every 2nd episode, it masterfully crafts a story where even in a world full of killers, killing someone is a grave decision. Like that whenever someone dies, it feels very serious

There are more murders in the 6 seasons of the Sopranos than in the real Mafia in 50. Plus most of them were done in daylight in front of witnesses and a lot were just stupid impulse killings. David Chase admitted he couldn't sell the series without a lot of murders. While it may be entertaining this show is wildly inaccurate

The main thing to recall is that these are only the crimes we saw Tony commit or give the okay to ON SCREEN. Keeping in mind this is probably only the tip of the iceberg, his real sentence could have amounted to literally thousands of years.

[@theshadowsagas3617]

Yeah he probably committed way more murders between Willie Overall and the beginning of the show

[@Zinozad]

[@dewilew2137]

The funny part is that this is actually extremely fair and quite lenient considering the number of crimes that were omitted, or overlooked in favor of another charge (for example, when Furio goes to collect the money at the spa, he is given one charge, “accessory to armed robbery”, rather than the litany of charges that would apply based on the crimes committed in that scene. He did break in, caused property damage, assaulted several people, communicated terroristic threats, shot a man in his kneecap at point blank range, plus the fact that this family collects money from this business illegally for “protection”, which is racketeering). Taking into account the complex and ongoing nature of that particular criminal enterprise, combined with all the, you know, murders, he got off easy with his 816.5 years. That being said, all it would take is one judge who would be willing to sentence him to concurrent prison terms, rather than consecutive prison terms, and he’d be back in the game in 30 years tops. If we pretend he wasn’t killed in the last episode, but was arrested and convicted instead, he’d already be more than halfway finished with his bid by 2023. 16 years down, 14 to go. Maybe he can get some time shaved off for good behavior, or perhaps for switching teams and doing the simulcast (“cooperating”). Who knows. *🤷🏽‍♀️*

Part of the reason the power of the Italian mafia is not nearly what it was in the 70s and 80s, despite these mens' wealth and connections, is because of informants and immunity, and Tony would have faced the same dilemma.
