In Italy, dozens of searches are being conducted in the area of the Sicilian city of Trapani, and the sister of the "mafia boss" Matteo Messina Denaro was also arrested on charges of involvement in the group.
This is reported by ANSA.
The investigation believes that Mrs. Rosalia, Denaro's older sister, helped her brother hide from the investigation for years and, in addition, took over financial matters and helped Denaro maintain contact with members of the group during the period when he had to hide for a long time.
Alfredo Montalto, the judge in charge of the case, asked for a preventive measure. Several units of the Italian security forces were involved in the detention operation.
At the same time, dozens of searches were conducted in Trapani province.
In January, Italy arrested a man believed to have helped Sicilian mob boss Matteo Messini Denaro hide from justice for years by allowing him to use his own identity documents.
