Italy: Police find another hideout of captured mafia boss Messina Denaro in Campobello di Mazara

Italy, Campobello di Mazara
January 20, 2023 at 15:49 GMT +00:00 · Published

Police discovered a third hideout of Italy's now-captured mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro in the town of Campobello di Mazara, in the Sicilian province of Trapani, on Thursday.

The apartment is located in the town where the other two refuges of the Sicilian mafia boss had been earlier identified. The Carabinieri, Italian national gendarmerie, and the Palermo Prosecutor’s Office found the hideout.

60-year-old Messina Denaro was arrested on Monday at a hospital in the city after hiding from the authorities for 30 years.

Nicknamed 'U Siccu’ (English: The Skinny One), the kingpin was sentenced to around 20 prison terms in trials held in his absence for his role in a series of mob crimes, including the bomb attacks that killed anti-mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992.
