May 17, 1955 - Pasquale Galasso
A senior figure within the Camorra's Galasso clan, he operated at a level of the Neapolitan underworld where violence and political corruption intersected — before his 1992 decision to turn state's witness reshaped the terms of what prosecutors could pursue. His collaboration produced testimony that reached beyond organized crime's internal hierarchies and implicated figures in Italy's broader political establishment. Few pentiti of his era carried comparable weight in the cases that followed.
