Italy arrests No 1 fugitive Mafia boss

Italy’s No. 1 fugitive, convicted Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, was arrested on Monday after three decades on the run, Italian paramilitary police said.

Messina Denaro was captured at a private clinic in Palermo, Sicily, where he was receiving treatment for an undisclosed medical condition. He was taken to a secret location by police immediately after the arrest, Italian state television reported. He was the last of three longtime fugitive top-level Mafia bosses who had for decades eluded capture.
