The FBI agent who famously infiltrated the New York mob under the fake name "Donnie Brasco" is set to testify as a witness at Quebec's inquiry into construction industry corruption, according to a media report Wednesday.
Radio-Canada said Joseph Pistone, who helped convict about 200 gangsters, will be among the first witnesses when the inquiry returns from its summer break next week.
