Joseph Valachi
Joseph Michael Valachi is an American gangster of the Genoese crime family, known to have been the first member of the Italian-American mafia, in 1963, to make his existence known. He is credited with the popularization of the term cosa nostra. Valachi was convicted of drug trafficking in 1959 and sentenced to 15 years in prison. In 1962, while he and the head of the Genoese family Vito Genovese were together in prison, he murdered a prisoner whom he believed to be an assassin sent by Genovese and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Valachi then became a government witness, and the following year testified before a US Senate committee in so-called Valachi hearings. He revealed previously unknown information about the Italian American Mafia, including its structure, activities, etiquette and members.
