Couple who helped Messina Denaro arrested

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 16 - A couple who allegedly helped Mafia superboss Matteo Messina Denaro evade capture for 30 years were arrested in the western Sicilian town where he spent his years on the run on Thursday.
    The couple were arrested as investigations continued into the network of accomplices who protected the 60-year-old Messina Denaro before he was caught at a Palermo cancer clinic in mid-January.
    The Carabinieri of the ROS special unit arrested Emanuele Bonafede, nephew of the Campobello di Mazara boss Leonardo Bonafede, and his wife Lorena Ninfa Lanceri, for aiding and abetting Italy's most wanted man, aggravated by using mafia methods.
    Lanceri was described by police as being "very close" to the Trapanese mafia leader.
    The military found a lot of evidence of the relationship between the boss and Lanceri.
    Messina Denaro, in order to hide her true identity, called her Diletta.
    She told him in a note that he was the "gift of my life", police said. (ANSA).
