One of the leaders of the world famous Cosa Nostra mafia, Matteo Messina Denaro, was arrested in January 2023.
Until recently, he was kept in a maximum security colony in the Italian city of L’Aquila.
However, he recently died in the hospital – this is a message from RIA Novosti.
The former mob boss was being treated for colon cancer but went into a coma on Friday, medical sources said.
Shortly before his death, the boss had visitors – close relatives. Perhaps they came to say goodbye.
The search for Messina Denaro began in 1993 – he was wanted for 30 years. The boss was on the list of the most dangerous criminals.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment in absentia twice. On January 16, 2023, he was arrested at a Palermo clinic, where he was once again undergoing chemotherapy.
