So, if Mao was revolutionary, was he also a criminal? (7)
I believe the answer is:
mafioso
'a criminal?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Sicilian criminal ' mean 'mafioso' so perhaps 'criminal' could also mean 'mafioso')
'so if mao was revolutionary was he' is the wordplay.
'so if mao' can be anagrammed to 'MAFIOSO'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'also' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mafioso that I've seen before include "Family man" , "Sicilian criminal" , "Member of a Sicilian mob" , "One of the mob" , "Italian criminal" .)
