We dedicate a press review to the coverage of the arrest of Matteo Messina Denaro. Considered the boss of “Cosa Nostra”, ‘The Guardian’ defines him as the “last godfather”. ‘Le Monde’ recalls that the man sentenced ‘in absentia’ for the death of dozens of people boasted of having “filled an entire cemetery” by himself. In the Italian pages we find the details of a complex operation due to the lack of recent photographs of Denaro, on the run for the last thirty years.
