Salvatore Inzerillo (Italian pronunciation: [salvaˈtoːre indzeˈrillo]; August 20, 1944 – May 11, 1981) was an Italian member of the Sicilian Mafia, also known as Totuccio (a diminutive for Salvatore). He rose to be a powerful boss of Palermo's Passo di Rigano family. A prolific heroin trafficker, he was killed in May 1981 during the Second Mafia War by a firing squad of the Corleonesi family led by Totò Riina, who opposed the established Palermo Mafia families of which Inzerillo was one of the main proponents.
