Mario Scaramella

He's the key Italian link in the scandal surrounding the mysterious death of the ex-KGB agent who ingested the radioactive isotope polonium-210. But according to published reports, he's more than just someone caught up in a bizarre death. He's a legendary fabricator from way back when.

For an interesting article on this character, go here:

It's worth a read if for no other reason than you will learn un nuovo vocabolo: "millantatore di credito." To understand the exact meaning in English (the story gives a good approximation), you may have to consult a real dictionary, not one online (that's what I did).
