Italian police on Friday staged a
massive operation, searching sites in many parts of Sicily, as
part of the effort to find the hideout of fugitive Cosa Nostra
boss Matteo Messina Denaro.
The 'superboss' is still recognised as the leader of the
Sicilian Mafia, deciding who is promoted or demoted, despite
having been on the run since 1993.
Around 150 officers were involved in the operation in various
parts of the region.
The searches focused on people suspected of helping Messina
Denaro.
