The Witness Protection Program Had These Notorious Criminals Under Their Care

Angelo Lonardo

Angelo Lonardo is known to be one of the highest-ranking mobsters that have become an FBI informant. During the early 1980s, he was the acting boss of the Cleveland crime family. When Angelo was arrested in 1983, he testified against his fellow high-ranking mobsters.

As a result, Angelo became part of the Witness Protection Program when his trial ended in the early 1990s. He left the program later on and returned to Cleveland. Fortunately, he did not engage in other crimes after that.
