(ANSA) - Palermo, January 22 - Police in Sicily on Tuesday
acted to execute warrants issued by anti-mafia prosecutors for
the detention of seven people accused of being members of the
reformed 'cupola' of Cosa Nostra bosses.
The attempt to reform the Sicilian Mafia's commission of
leading mobsters was discovered in December when 47 people were
held in a previous operation.
Among the suspects detained on Tuesday were Leandro Greco,
the grandson of Cosa Nostra's 'pope' Michele Greco, and Calogero
Lo Piccolo, the son of Salvatore Lo Piccolo, a boss who is
serving a life sentence in jail.
The new operation was launched thanks in part to the
testimony of two new State witnesses.
The suspects are believed to have been trying to form a new
cupola in the wake of the jail death of the last boss of bosses,
Corleone's Salvatore 'Totò' Riina, 14 months ago.
