English: Vincent "Chin" "Gigs" Gigante (
March 29,
1928 –
December 19,
2005) was an
American Mafioso who headed the
Genovese crime family for years, at times while in prison. Sometimes referred to as "the Oddfather," since the mid-
1960s, Gigante had been regularly seen wandering the streets of
Greenwich Village,
Manhattan,
New York City, in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself. In
2003, as part of a
plea bargain, he admitted in court that his insanity had been a long act staged to avoid conviction under an
insanity defense. He was due to be released from prison in
2010 before his controversial death in
2005.

kovo 29,
1928 –
gruodžio 19,
2005) buvo žymus
Niujorko Genovese mafijos šeimos bosas, nuo
1960-ųjų vidurio priedangai vaidinęs psichinį ligonį. Jis būdavo dažnai matomas gatvėse su pižama ar chalatu, besišlaistantis be jokio tikslo ir nerišliai kažką sau murmantis. Ilgą laiką iki tol
FTB ir policija
Genovese šeimos bosu laikė
Antony Salerno, kuris iš tiesų buvo tik dar viena priedanga Gigantei.
