pentito
Pentito ((:penˈtiːto); "he who has repented", plural ''pentiti'') designates people in Italy who, formerly part of criminal or terrorist organizations, following their arrests decide to "repent" and collaborate with the judicial system to help investigations. The government passed legislation creating the judicial category ''pentiti'' to fight terrorism in the 1970s, during the "Years of Lead". Their correct technical name in Italian is ''collaboratori di giustizia'' (collaborators with justice). In the wake of the ''Maxi Trial'' in 1986-87, and after the testimony of Tommaso Buscetta, the term was more often used for former members of the Sicilian Mafia who abandoned their organization and started helping in investigations.
== Role and benefits ==
In exchange for the information they deliver, ''pentiti'' receive shorter sentences for their crimes, in some cases even freedom. In the Italian judicial system, ''pentiti'' can obtain personal protection, a new name, and some money to start a new life in another place, possibly abroad.
This practice is common in other countries as well. In the United States, criminals testifying against their former associates can enter the Witness Protection Program, and be given new identities with supporting paperwork.〔(U.S. Marshals site ), a PD source〕 The Italian Mafia bosses Buscetta and Francesco Marino Mannoia were allowed to live in the U.S. under new identities in the Witness Protection Program when Italy did not yet have such a program.〔(Mob Boss and Stoolie Share a Day in Rome Court ), The New York Times, November 20, 1993〕〔Stille, ''Excellent Cadavers'', p. 302-10〕
