Tommaso Buscetta (Italian pronunciation: [tomˈmazo buʃˈʃetta]; 13 July 1928 – 2 April 2000) was a Sicilian mafioso. He was the first Mafia boss to turn informant and explain the inner workings of the organisation. When interviewed by Giovanni Falcone an investigating magistrate who told informants they would face serious consequences for any false testimony Buscetta did not mention the allegations against Giulio Andreotti that he later made and then retracted.
