Mafia code of honour list discovered as leader arrested

THE arrest of supremo Salvatore Lo Piccolo completed the “decapitation” of the Sicilian Mafia, prosecutor Pietro Grasso said this week.

The Sicilian Mafia “has no more leadership. Today it is an organisation without structure that can no longer move except with difficulty”, Mr Grasso said.

Lo Piccolo, 63, who was arrested Monday, took the helm of the Sicilian Mafia, also known as Cosa Nostra, a year and a half ago after the arrest of supremo Bernardo Provenzano in April 2006.
