Convicted Mafia Boss Matteo Messina Denaro Dies In Prison Months After Being Captured Following 30 Years On The Run

Messina Denaro died in a hospital prison ward after being arrested in January as Italy's most wanted fugitive.
He had been convicted in absentia for dozens of murders, including assassinations of top anti-Mafia prosecutors in 1992 bombings.
Messina Denaro was believed to be a powerful Cosa Nostra boss and had been living in western Sicily as a fugitive.
His need for cancer treatment enabled investigators to finally track him down after decades on the run.
Messina Denaro refused to cooperate with authorities and took his secrets about the Mafia to his grave.
