Gaetano Fidanzati (September 6, 1935 - October 5, 2013)[1] was a boss of the Resuttana mandamento of the Sicilian Mafia in Palermo. He was on the Italian Ministry of the Interior's most wanted list from 2008 till his arrest on December 5, 2009.[2]
Fidanzati and his four brothers hailed from Palermo's Arenella neighborhood. They formed a Mafia clan, said to be among the most heavily involved in international drug trafficking.[3] He reportedly innovated the practice of exchanging heroin for cocaine to avoid money trails. The exchange rate with the American Mafia – particularly the Gambinos – was one kilogram of heroin for three kilograms of cocaine.[4]
