Informer[edit]

"In some southern-Italian communities the Mafia is a significant presence, and in these areas becoming a pentito is tantamount to a death sentence. Indeed, the Mafia family of Totò Riina from Corleone habitually extended this sentence to cover relatives of the pentito. For example, all of Tommaso Buscetta's family was decimated in a long series of murders spanning many years."-69.87.204.235 15:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bad math[edit]

"[born] July 13, 1928... He became a full-fledged member of the Mafia in 1948 at the age of 18"

Doesn't add up?

He died in New York, USA. The infobox and article body agree on that fact. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 09:23, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Buscetta in Brazil[edit]

There is one curious thing about Buscetta in Brazil: one of the charges against him was that he was using a false name, to which he (truthfully) replied that he could not use his true name here, which sounds exactly like the popular and pornophonic word for the female genital organ.
