Italian and US police launch a major crackdown against some members of crime families that are reportedly looking to rebuild their mafia powerbase in Italy
Italian police officers patrol the streets after the arrest of a man described as Cosa Nostra's fugitive boss in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy, 2009.
Sicily's organised crime group, known as 'Cosa Nostra' , has been in a state of flux since the death of the feared boss of bosses Salvatore "Toto" Riina, who died in prison in 2017 after spending almost a quarter of century behind bars. The family has since looked to reclaim its old business, police said, helped by strong allies in New York.
The reported crime boss of the family, Francesco "Franky Boy" Cali, was gunned down in front of his Staten Island home in March. It was not clear if his murder had anything to do with tensions in Sicily.
