The former owner of a now-dissolved Old Bethpage paving company that won public contracts worth millions pleaded guilty in January 2020 to a corruption charge following his 2017 indictment alongside a handful of others with Oyster Bay government connections. Elia “Aly” Lizza, who owned and led Carlo Lizza & Sons Paving Inc., admitted to paying about $1.6 million in bribes to the late Oyster Bay Planning and Development Commissioner Frederick Ippolito — who died before charges against him were unsealed. State Supreme Court Justice Charles Wood said he'd give Lizza, 72, of Oyster Bay Cove, a "non-jail disposition" under a plea deal. It also involves the forfeiture of $350,000 and the dismissal of charges against Lizza's wife at his April sentencing. Marisa Lizza, 64, had faced the same 40 charges as her spouse, including felony counts of bribery, rewarding official misconduct and defrauding the government. An indictment also accused their family business of crimes, and attorney Stephen Scaring put in a guilty plea Thursday for the company on a second-degree bribery count — mirroring the husband's plea. Both spouses had faced up to five to 15 years in prison if convicted of the top count against them, The Lizzas’ company won about $100 million in Nassau contracts from 2002 to 2015, with Lizza family members, primarily the couple, donating nearly $1 million to Nassau leaders and party committees in that same time
