PORTRAIT. “I filled an entire cemetery by myself”: this was Matteo Messina Denaro, the most ruthless mafia boss ever

The godfather of all Italian mafia bosses, Matteo Messina Denaro (61), has died eight months after his arrest. Throughout his life he had many nicknames: Diabolik, De Bron, Playboy Boss,… Although ‘Il Brutto’ is perhaps the most appropriate. Denaro has killed as many as 50 and possibly even 80 people since he was 18, from judges like Falcone and Borsellino, to even a pregnant woman.
