He supposedly organized the death of Giovanni Falcone, the 'Giudice', the judge who fought against the mafia until his death, on May 23, 1992. ('La Strage di Capaci'; Capaci is the name of the place where the car bomb that killed him exploded, between Palermo and Punta Raisi Airport.)
He is now serving a life sentence in prison.
Corleone was his home city and is often mentioned in the context of Totò Riina.
