Peter Schibetta

Peter Schibetta is a fictional character on the HBO series Oz, portrayed by Eddie Malavarca.

Prisoner #98S112. Convicted May 19, 1998 - Five counts of extortion: money laundering. Sentence: 35 years, eligible for parole in 20.

He is the son of Nino Schibetta, the first leader of Oz's Italian Mafia shown on the series. Once inside, he enlists the warden's brother Mark to murder someone in repayment of a debt owed to Schibetta. Schibetta then exploits his knowledge of Mark's crime as a way of blackmailing Warden Glynn himself. When Mark finally confesses to the murder, Glynn is freed from the Italians' control and goes after Schibetta with a vengeance. When Schibetta is raped, first by Simon Adebisi and later by the Aryans Vernon Schillinger and James Robson, Glynn makes no effort to punish his abusers, and even tacitly endorses the rapes as a way to keep Peter Schibetta and others like him under control. When Schibetta is eventually murdered, the warden shows little interest in finding and punishing his killers.

Peter Schibetta visits his father and tells him about his dying mother and the situation with deceased inmate and cousin Dino Ortolani. Nino tells him that Dino's family has revenge coming to his killer and that Peter's mother should be examined by a Jewish doctor, since Nino believes they are the best available.

Peter Schibetta is imprisoned for money laundering and runs the Italian Mafia when his father Nino turns up dead. Once in prison, Peter is put in charge of the Italian Mafia in Oz mostly due to the reputation of his recently deceased father. He tries to dominate every situation and shows no fear and little respect to other inmates. His war with the black inmates grows especially intense when Ryan O'Reily tells him that his father was murdered by Simon Adebisi (Nino had actually been murdered jointly by Adebisi and O'Reily). Schibetta asks Miguel Alvarez to murder Adebisi for a partnership in the drug trade, which Alvarez declines.
