leonardo da vinci,leonardo da vinci paintings - Gambino Mafia boss sent to Italy (The Washington Times)

ROME (AP) | Italian authorities took into custody on Saturday a top boss from the Gambino Mafia clan who was deported from the United States after spending more than two decades in jail for drug trafficking. Gambino, an Italian-born New Jersey resident, was considered a top mobster in the New York-based crime family led by his late cousin Carlo Gambino. In 1984 he was convicted in a multimillion-dollar conspiracy to sell heroin in southern New Jersey and was sentenced to 45 years in jail. He was released in 2007 and transferred to an immigrant detention center in California to await expulsion, Italian police said in a statement. Falcone was killed by the Sicilian mob in a 1992 bomb attack, and Gambino’s return coincided with the anniversary of the murder, which was being commemorated across Italy.
