Sicilian mafia ‘boss of bosses’ arrested in country house raid

SALVATORE Lo Piccolo, who magistrates believe is the Sicilian Mafia’s new “boss of bosses”, was arrested yesterday after nearly a quarter of a century on the run, police said.

Lo Piccolo, 65, was arrested with his 32-year-old son, Sandro, and two other Mafia bosses.

The four are among the top 30 most wanted Mafia suspects in Italy and were seized in a raid on a country house outside the Sicilian capital Palermo where they were holding a summit.
