(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 18 - The owner of the second hideout used by Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro during his 30-year run from justice had been cleared of Mafia charges, sources said Wednesday.
    The man, Errico Risalvato, was investigated and then acquitted, in 2001, of charges of mafia association.
