— Eight months after his dramatic arrest in a private clinic in Sicily, Italy’s most infamous mafia boss — Matteo Messina Denaro, 61 — died after a battle against his most formidable adversary: colon cancer. The death of the man known as the “Last Godfather” capped the dark odyssey of a criminal mastermind accused of ordering the killings of two anti-Mafia magistrates and of rising to power and becoming feared for butchering rivals and innocent victims. He was apprehended in January by a small army of 100 members of the armed forces in the Sicilian city of Palermo while attempting to get a coronavirus test. He had been a fugitive since 1993. After undergoing two surgeries this year, his condition worsened in recent weeks, according to the Italian media.
