The 60-year-old was apprehended in a private clinic in the Sicilian city. The mobster, nicknamed Diabolik or U Siccu (the skinny one), was once considered a candidate to be the Sicilian mafia’s boss of bosses, after the deaths of Bernardo Provenzano in 2016 and Salvatore Riina in 2017.

According to mafia informers and prosecutors, he holds the key to some of the most heinous crimes perpetrated by the Sicilian mafia. In 2002, he was convicted and sentenced in absentia to life in jail for having personally killed or ordered the murder of dozens of people.

  1. I remember there was this Netflix series “Worlds most wanted” he was on the last episode and there was this stuff how they didn’t even have a voice recording or anything to what he looked like. The fact they got him now is huge!

  2. There was practically nobody there so the title is nothing other than misleading clickbait, one person was heard to cheer and one person was heard to clap, one person who could have been the one recording the footage for all we could see 👎 this is very poor quality reporting and for all practical purposes nothing less than lies in regards to the title you've slapped on this video, reported.
