Giovanni Falcone
Giovanni Falcone was an influential Italian judge and prosecuting magistrate known for his relentless fight against the Sicilian Mafia, Cosa Nostra. He played a pivotal role in the Maxi Trial of the 1980s, which led to the conviction of hundreds of Mafia members. Falcone's innovative legal strategies and his commitment to dismantling organized crime earned him international recognition, but also made him a target. Tragically, he was assassinated in 1992, along with his wife, in a car bomb attack orchestrated by the Mafia, solidifying his legacy as a martyr in the fight against organized crime.
Born on May 18, 1939 (86 years old)
