Notorious Sicilian Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, captured in January after three decades on the run, has died in hospital in central Italy, the ANSA news agency reported Monday.

The 61-year-old had colon cancer, for which he had sought treatment while on the run — a decision that brought him to the attention of the authorities, who arrested him at a clinic in Palermo.
