45 years' imprisonment and fined $125,000 Life imprisonment
Gaetano Badalamenti (Italian pronunciation:[ɡaeˈtaːnobadalaˈmenti]; 14 September 1923 – 29 April 2004) was a powerful member of the Sicilian Mafia. Don Tano Badalamenti was the capofamiglia of his hometown Cinisi, Sicily, and headed the Sicilian Mafia Commission in the 1970s. In 1987, he was sentenced in the United States to 45 years in federal prison for being one of the leaders in the so-called "Pizza Connection", a $1.65 billion drug-trafficking ring that used pizzerias as fronts to distribute heroin from 1975 to 1984.[1][2] He was also sentenced in Italy to life imprisonment in 2002 for the 1978 murder of Peppino Impastato.
