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.

Only after the murders on Antimafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, in 1992, did Buscetta decide to talk about the links between the Mafia and politicians.

According to Tommaso Buscetta, during meetings with Mafia bosses from Palermo, Leggio insisted on correcting grammatical errors made by Gaetano Badalamenti when Badalamenti tried to speak Italian rather than his native Sicilian.

Buscetta claimed that the killing was organized by Bontade, Salvatore Greco " Ciaschiteddu ", and Giuseppe Di Cristina on the request of Angelo Bruno, a Sicilian born Mafia boss from Philadelphia.

Buscetta also claimed that the journalist Mauro De Mauro was killed in September 1970 on the orders of Bontade because of his investigations into the death of Mattei.

One of Bontade's close friends was Tommaso Buscetta, who subsequently became a pentito ( collaborating witness ) after he was arrested in Brazil in 1983.

After the Ciaculli Massacre in 1963, Buscetta fled to the United States where the local Gambino crime family helped him to get started in the pizza business.

In 1972 Buscetta was arrested and tortured by the Brazilian military regime, and subsequently extradited to Italy where he began a life sentence for the earlier double murder conviction.

Tommaso Buscetta (; 13 July 1928 – 2 April 2000 ) was a Sicilian mafioso.

In 1970 Buscetta was arrested in New York.

Arrested once more in 1983, Buscetta was sent back to Italy.

Buscetta asked to talk to Giovanni Falcone and began his life as an informant.

Buscetta ( in sunglasses ) is led into court at the Maxi Trial, circa 1986.

Buscetta revealed the existence and workings of the Sicilian Mafia Commission.

This premise became known as the Buscetta theorem and would be recognised legally with the confirmation of the Maxi Trial sentence in January 1992.

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

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.
