In which year was Luciano's sentence commuted for his alleged wartime cooperation?

  • 1944

Answer

In 1946, Luciano's sentence was commuted for his alleged cooperation during World War II. He helped the US Navy gather intelligence in Sicily, providing valuable information on Italian troop movements and the mafia's influence in the region. As a result, his 30 to 50-year sentence was reduced, and he was allowed to be deported to Italy as a free man.
