	Tommaso Buscetta - Vicipéid
		Coirpeoir ab ea é Tommaso Buscetta (13 Iúil, 1928 - 4 Aibreán, 2000) a bhí ina bhall de Mhafia, go dtí gur bhuail aithreachas é, agus é sásta iompú ina ollbhrathadóir nó pentito.
		An fhianaise a thug Buscetta uaidh, chuidigh sí go mór mór leis na céadta de choirpeoirí a chur i bpríosún i lár na n-ochtóidí san Iodáil chomh maith leis na Stáit Aontaithe, Gaetano Badalamenti ina measc siúd.
		In éiric na cabhrach seo, díolmhaíodh Buscetta féin ó phionós a chuid coireanna, agus ceadaíodh dó, mar chuid de scéim chosanta na bhfinnéithe, dul go dtí na Stáit Aontaithe, ainm bréige a ghlacadh air agus a raibh fágtha dá shaol a chaitheamh thall ansin.

		Buscetta also suggested that the cause was in De Mauro's investigations on Mattei.

		For example, all of Tommaso Buscetta's family was exterminated in a long series of murders spanning many years.
		Furthermore, in the most degraded areas, where people live on the borderline of legality or beyond, there is an induced subculture of hostility towards public institutions and of trust in the Mafia.

		Over there in the Mediterranean, near Sicily, Italian authorities a few days ago boarded the cruise ship Monterey and removed Tommaso Buscetta, 67, a Mafia don-turned-government informer who's supposed to testify in court soon about the alleged Mafia connections of ex-Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti.
		Buscetta, it seems, was placing himself in jeopardy by showing off too much for the paparazzi on shipboard -- and the local angle?
		As Tony Dozois points out, the cruise ship Monterey is indeed the old Matson liner of the 1950s, now flying the Italian flag.
