Umberto Ammaturo (Italian pronunciation: [umˈbɛrto ammaˈtuːro]; born May 21, 1941), also known as 'o pazzo ("the mad one"), is an Italian former criminal and a member of the Neapolitan Camorra, a Mafia-type organisation in Italy. He specialized in cocaine trafficking from South America. He was included in the list of most wanted fugitives in Italy until his capture in May 1993. A month later he decided to become a pentito, a state witness breaking omertà, or code of silence.
