Jailed Italian Mafia boss Messina Denaro dies - Surronding Waves

Italian Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, who was one of the country's most wanted men until his capture earlier this year, has died.

The 61-year-old was thought to be a boss of the notorious Cosa Nostra Mafia and spent 30 years on the run before he was detained in January.

He was being treated for cancer at the time of his arrest and was moved from prison to hospital last month.

Denaro was thought to have been responsible for numerous murders.
