messina denaro identikit

Agents from the anti-Mafia Investigation Department seized assets amounting to hundreds of thousands of euros belonging to the jailed sister and brother-in-law of  fugitive Sicilian  Cosa Nostra boss  Matteo  Messina Denaro.

Agents seized  several  businesses ,bank accounts, a house and an olive oil company belonging  to Messina Denaro’s sister Anna Patrizia and her husband Vincenzo Panicola

The mafia boss’s sister was among 30 people arrested in December for mafia association but police think she still has contact with her brother and relays his orders to members of his mob

After the December arrest police claimed  they have never been so close to capturing the clever and elusive Cosa Nosta boss

Italy’s anti-mafia authorities in March updated the identikit of Messina Denaro after receiving new information about his appearance from an informant.

It marked the first time since 2011 that investigators were able to update the computer-simulated portrait of the appearance of the crime boss, who is one of the world’s 10 most-wanted men according to Interpol.
