The former mafia stronghold of Corleone in Sicily has called for the “swift removal” of a convicted mafioso resident and son of Italy’s most feared mobster, in a move to protect the town from “reputational damage”.
Giuseppe Salvatore Riina, 46, known as Salvuccio, who had been convicted and imprisoned for nearly nine years on charges of extortion, money laundering and mafia association, returned to his home town last April. He is the third-born of the Sicilian mafia’s boss of bosses, Salvatore “Totò” Riina, nicknamed the Beast, who died in prison in 2017.
