Emanuele Basile (Italian pronunciation: [emanuˈɛːle baˈziːle]; July 2, 1949 – May 4, 1980) was an Italian captain of the Carabinieri and a collaborator of Paolo Borsellino on anti-Mafia investigations. He was killed by Cosa Nostra in Monreale, Palermo, shot repeatedly in the back whilst he carried his four-year-old daughter, who was unhurt in the shooting.[1] He was working with Borsellino on traffic of heroin and killings related to Mafia in Corleone at the time of his death. The investigation on his murder was headed by Borsellino.
The hit team was made up by Vincenzo Puccio, and of the Resuttana Mafia family, with logistical support from Giovanni Brusca.[2][permanent dead link]
On 14 November 1992, Salvatore Riina and Francesco Madonia were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder.[1]
