January 18, 1942 - Pasquale Barra

Pasquale Barra (Italian pronunciation: [paˈskwaːle ˈbarra]; 18 January 1942 – 27 February 2015) was an Italian Camorrista who was a senior member and hitman for the Nuova Camorra Organizzata (NCO), a Camorra organisation in Naples. Barra has the distinction of being the first NCO member to become a pentito, when he decided to collaborate with Italian Justice in 1982.

Barra sported numerous nicknames, both self-appointed and those given to him. The first one was 'o Studente ("the Student"), which was given to him by Cutolo during his years as a student in Ottaviano. Then there was his public nickname, 'o Nimale ("the Animal"), which was allegedly given to him by the Italian media. The third one was Alias, a self-appointed war name. He killed 67 men in jail.
