Editing Danilo Abbruciati (section)

==Legacy and Mysteries==
Abbruciati’s death at age 37 shocked both his associates and investigators, who questioned why a high-ranking boss would personally undertake such a risky hit. The official explanation—that he was paid 50 million lire—seemed implausible to peers like Maurizio Abbatino, who doubted Abbruciati would act as a mere hitman. The mandators, Diotallevi and Carboni, were initially convicted but acquitted in 1999, while Nieddu received a 10-year sentence. Abbruciati’s life inspired the character Nembo Kid in Giancarlo De Cataldo’s 2002 novel Romanzo Criminale and was portrayed by Bruno Bilotta in the 2002 film The Bankers of God: The Calvi Affair. His story remains a complex chapter in Italy’s history of organized crime, intertwined with political corruption and financial scandals. One theory as to why the assassination attempt on Rosone was not delegated to an underling is the pending investigation into [[Banco Ambrosiano]]. The Vatican Bank's director, [[Paul Marcinkus]], was money laundering the drug money for these networks and Rosone had demanded his partner in crime and Rosone's boss to resign. He also demanded a call on all loans to the Vatican bank that had been used to embezzle monies into shell companies set up by the Vatican bank, according to author Paul Williams in his book [[Operation Gladio]]. Williams also reveals that on May 31, 1982 the Bank of Italy wrote of Rosone's boss [[Roberto Calvi]] requesting a full accounting of the lending tot he Vatican Bank's eight shell companies. The board authorized the bank to comply despite Calvi's protest.
