Italian anti-mafia police
seized 1.1 billion euros of assets in Sicily linked to convicted
Cosa Nostra Mafia boss Francesco Annaloro, 64.
Assets confiscated by the Anti-mafia Directorate in the
Sicilian province of Caltanissetta in include five parcels of
land and four buildings in the town of Riesi, one building in
the town of Butera and two bank accounts - one in a bank and one
with the Italian postal service.
Annaloro is serving a life sentence for mass murder, murder
and mafia association. He is accused of assassinating seven
people during the Riesi turf wars during the 1990s.
Magistrates believe Annaloro, who is the son of the late
crime boss Luigi Annaloro, took over the reins of the Riesi
territory when mafia boss Giuseppe Di Cristina was killed by the
Corleonesi faction ruled by Toto' Riina in 1978.
