Umberto Di Fazio, Mafia Boss, Arrested
Italian carabinieri military police on Sunday arrested a major Sicilian Mafia boss who had been on the run for five years, police said.
They said Umberto Di Fazio, 42, considered to be the leader of the Cosa Nostra‘s notorious Santapaola clan, was captured near Enna, a mountaintop town in the center of the island.
Di Fazio, whose “family” dominated Catania, the main city on Sicily‘s east coast, was wanted for extortion and murder and international warrants had been issued for his arrest.
He took over leadership of the clan after the 1993 arrest of Nitto Santapaolo, known as “The Hunter”, and once the undisputed Mafia boss in Catania.
