Giuseppe Calò

Giuseppe "Pippo" Calò (born 30 September 1931) is an Italian mobster and member of the Sicilian Mafia in Porta Nuova. He was referred to as the cassiere di Cosa Nostra ("cashier of Cosa Nostra") because he was heavily involved in the financial side of organized crime, primarily money laundering. He was arrested in 1985 and sentenced to 23 years' imprisonment as part of the 1986/87 Maxi Trial. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1989 for organising the 1984 Train 904 bombing and was given several further life sentences between 1995 and 2002. He was also charged with ordering the murder of Banco Ambrosiano chairman Roberto Calvi, nicknamed "God's banker" by the press because of his close business dealings with the Holy See, in 1982 but was acquitted in 2007 due to "insufficient evidence" in a surprise verdict.
