January 6, 1953 - Francesco Schiavone
His leadership of the Casalesi clan placed him at the center of one of Italy's most powerful and violent Camorra factions, an organization with deep roots in the Caserta region and a reach extending into construction, waste disposal, and drug trafficking. The clan's operations under his direction became a subject of sustained judicial and journalistic scrutiny, most notably through Roberto Saviano's work on the Camorra.
From Wikipedia
Francesco Schiavone (Italian pronunciation: [franˈtʃesko skjaˈvoːne]; born 3 March 1954) is a member of the Camorra, the Caserta organized crime syndicate, and the head of the Casalesi clan from Casal di Principe in the province of Caserta. Because of his thick, dark beard, he has been dubbed "Sandokan", after the main character of a popular 1970s television series starring Kabir Bedi.
