Arrested Mafia boss moved to detention centre

Footage shows detained Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro arriving late on Monday night at a Palermo military airport to be moved to a detention centre.

The Mafia boss convicted of helping to mastermind some of the nation’s most heinous slayings, was arrested Monday in Sicily after three decades on the run. He faces multiple life sentences that he is expected to serve in a maximum security prison and under the particularly restrictive conditions reserved for top organized crime bosses.

Hundreds of police officers were tasked over the years with tracking him, the last of three longtime top-level Mafia bosses who managed to elude capture for decades.
