About Giovanni Brusca
- Giovanni Brusca (Italian pronunciation: [d?o'vanni 'bruska]; born 20 February 1957) is an Italian former member of the Sicilian Mafia.
- He murdered the anti-Mafia prosecutor Giovanni Falcone in 1992 and once stated that he had committed between 100 and 200 murders.
- He was sentenced to life in prison in absentia, captured in 1996 and started to cooperate with the authorities. A pudgy, bearded and unkempt mafioso, Brusca was known in Mafia circles as 'u verru (in Sicilian) or il porco or il maiale (in Italian; "the pig", "the swine") or lo scannacristiani ("the people-slayer"; in Italian dialects the word "Christians" often refers to "human beings").
- Tommaso Buscetta, the Mafia turncoat who had cooperated with Falcone’s investigations, remembered Giovanni Brusca as "a wild stallion but a great leader."
