The boss of the Sicilian Mafia Cosa Nostra has been wanted since 1993 – Matteo Messina Denaro is still not captured, but has now been convicted. It is the penalty for two bomb attacks that rocked Italy in the early 1990s. Italy’s most wanted Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in Sicily. The 58-year-old is considered to be the most powerful man in the Sicilian Mafia, even if it is unclear whether he controls the entire Cosa Nostra. The court in the city of Caltanissetta convicted Denaro on Tuesday evening for his involvement in bomb attacks in 1992, in which the judges acting against the mafia Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino and other people were killed, according to the Ansa news agency. Denaro went into hiding in 1993 and has been on the run ever since. He was convicted in absentia.

The court also awarded the victims’ relatives amounts between 10,000 and 500,000 euros, and the three survivors of the bombings will receive 100,000 euros, it said. Denaro is the successor to the Mafia godfather Salvatore “Totò” Riina, who died in 2017 at the age of 87 in an Italian maximum security prison. The police have already arrested dozens of his relatives and helpers. The last time this was achieved was in June when two of Denaro’s close associates were arrested in Sicily. There, the investigators searched Denaro’s official residence in the small town of Castelvetrano. In the mafia stronghold of Palermo, entrepreneurs and traders defended themselves against criminal clans and filed complaints last week. Anti-Mafia units struck with the help of these statements on Tuesday and arrested 20 gang members, as Italian media wrote. The suspects are charged with drug trafficking, theft and stolen goods as well as attempted murder and extortion. The Sicilian mafia, the Cosa Nostra, is said to control numerous shops in the port district of Borgo Vecchio, which is also frequented by tourists. The Cosa Nostra (“Our Cause”) is the original “Mafia” from Sicily. Since its inception in the 19th century, other criminals have also founded organizations such as the Camorra or the ‘Ndrangheta. The Cosa Nostra operates worldwide and also has contacts in government circles. Last year a state secretary in the Ministry of Transport had to resign because he was alleged to have been bribed. The Lega politician is said to have been offered 30,000 euros by a lobbyist of a wind energy businessman, who in turn is said to have a connection to Denaro. The criminal organization is also active in Germany. In July, German and Italian investigators jointly carried out a major raid in several locations. A suspected Mafioso was also caught in Wolfsburg.
