Samuel Mathew Piantadosi[1] (April 1946 – 4 March 2010) was an Australian union official and politician.
He returned to politics in 2007 as a councillor and later Deputy Mayor of the Town of Bassendean, and held the latter role until his death.
[3] Not long after, while serving as an independent MP, Piantadosi's home and electoral office were raided by the National Crime Authority, who were investigating an Asian immigration racket.
[7] After leaving politics, Piantadosi founded his own business, Eurasia Trade and Management Services, in 1999.
He served as secretary of the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 1999 to 2002, and as a committee member of the International Business Council of Western Australia.
His license to act as a migration agent was subsequently suspended for three years in November 2003 after he failed to respond to a request for information from the authority.
