Italy’s most wanted mafia boss – who had been on the run since 1993 – has been arrested at a private hospital in the Sicilian capital of Palermo.
Prosecutors say Matteo Messina Denaro, now 60, is a boss of Sicily’s Cosa Nostra mafia. The head of the Carabinieri police force’s special operations squad said that Messina Denaro was captured at the clinic having been receiving treatment. Locals applauded and shook the hands of police as he was driven away.
