A Mafia boss believed to be responsible for dozens of murders has finally been arrested after 30 years on the run. The Sicilian Cosa Nostra Mafia's don Matteo Messina Denaro was arrested by the Italian carabinieri in Ros today after spending three decades as a fugitive.
Denaro, who has been nicknamed 'Diabolik', was caught inside the Maddalena private clinic in Palermo as he was getting ready to 'undergo therapy' according to the commander of the Ros Carabinieri. The fugitive, who was the son of an old mafia boss, has been on the run since 1993 and was considered by the Italian law enforcement to be their number one fugitive since then, the Mirror reports.
Denaro confessed in a letter to his girlfriend at the time that his name might come to be associated with 'serious bloodshed'. The note was penned after a series of massacres in Rome, Milan and Florence in 1992 which killed dozens of people, according to ANSA.
