It looks like the feds have hooked the big fish in a mob loansharking case.
A lawyer for Ronald "Ronnie G" Giallanzo, a reputed acting capo in the Bonanno crime family, said Tuesday she’s struck a resolution “in principle” and planned to arrange her client’s guilty plea.
Attorney Elizabeth Macedonio’s filing didn’t get into the specifics of what she’s worked out with Brooklyn federal prosecutors on Giallanzo’s case.
Prosecutors say Giallanzo, 47, ran an operation in Howard Beach that hauled in $26 million between 1998 and March 2017.
In one May 2013 incident, Giallanzo and an associate beat a deadbeat behind on payments for a $250,000 credit, according to authorities.
The victim soiled himself while Giallanzo screamed “Where’s the f-----g money?” court papers said.
Prosecutors say Giallanzo ran an operation in Howard Beach that brought in $26 million from 1998 until March 2017.

Since prosecutors unsealed the case against Giallanzo and about 10 other alleged Bonanno members and associates last March, six men have pleaded guilty.
Giallanzo is the nephew of 82-year-old incarcerated “Goodfellas” gangster Vincent Asaro.
The aging capo was sentenced in December for a different case where he ordered the arson of a vehicle that cut him off in Howard Beach traffic.
In 2015, Asaro was acquitted for his role in the 1978 Luftansa heist depicted in “Goodfellas.”
