Italy&#8217;s most wanted mafia boss, Matteo Messina Denaro, is arrested in Sicily after 30 years on the run. He was in a private clinic in the Sicilian capital, Palermo, where he was receiving treatment for cancer. He is a boss of the infamous Cosa Nostra Mafia and was tried and sentenced to life in prison in absentia in 2002 for numerous murders. More than 100 members of the armed forces were involved in his arrest. As he emerged from the standoff between two Carabinieri, people standing in the street applauded the officers as Messina Denaro was led away. These are some of the murders for which he was convicted: the 1992 killing of anti-mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino; the deadly 1993 bomb attacks in Milan, Florence, and Rome; and the kidnapping, torture, and murder of the 11-year-old son of a mafioso who had become a state witness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palermo.
