Page "Tommaso Buscetta" Paragraph 8

As a reward for his help, Buscetta was allowed to live in the USA under a new identity in the Witness Protection Program.

He was reported to have undergone plastic surgery to conceal his identity.

He sometimes gave interviews to journalists although his face was pixelated when he appeared in documentaries.

In an interview with the Italian journalist Enzo Biagi, Buscetta cheerfully bragged that he lost his virginity at the age of eight to a prostitute who charged him just a bottle of olive oil.

Buscetta married three times and had six children, and at one point, he was briefly suspended from the Mafia for walking out on his first wife, adultery being a greater crime than murder in the eyes of his fellow mobsters.

While in prison in the seventies, he learned that his boss wanted to expel him from the organisation altogether for the treatment of his wives.
