Failing health, more than anything else, is what brought to an end 30 years of life as a fugitive for Matteo Messina Denaro, Italy's most wanted man until his arrest on Monday.

Messina Denaro, 60, was caught just outside a private clinic in Palermo together with an accomplice. Judicial sources said the mobster was a regular visitor there after a cancer operation last year.

Investigative work was “unrelenting, constant and incremental”, General Pasquale Angelosanto of the Carabinieri police ROS special forces said. “We caught a very dangerous fugitive without having to use violence, we didn't even have to use handcuffs,” he said.
