by Michele Giuliano December 29, 2023 6.15pm Giuseppe Baldinucci, 80 year old boss of Borgetto, who was part of the elite of the mafia between the 90s and early 2000s, has died . He was involved in the kidnapping of little Giuseppe Di Matteo and favored the absconding of the boss of San Giuseppe Jato, Giovanni Brusca . In 2005, after a long absence that began in 1996, he was arrested by the FBI in New York and a few years later extradited to Italy. He had been wanted for 11 years.
Baldinucci was under investigation for illegal possession of weapons and drug trafficking. He was known in the mafia of Borgetto and surrounding areas above all for his role as ambassador of Cosa Nostra in New York and for coordinating drug trafficking between the two sides of the Atlantic. Right here he sought refuge to escape Italian justice. But his presence in New York was reported by the Carabinieri to the FBI who arrested him.
