Domenico Raccuglia, reputed to be the number two man in the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, or mafia, was arrested in an apartment in the Trapani region of western Sicily, Sunday 15 November. He had been on the run for 15 years but fathered a child with his wife, despite her being under constant surveillance. Raccuglia was sentenced in absentia to three life terms for murder, notably for killing the son of a Mafia whistleblower. The Italian interior minister, Roberto Maroni, said the capture was an important blow to the Sicilian Mafia. Corriere della Sera (Ita), Telegraph, TdG
