Salvatore Riina

A social media post by the son of a notorious Cosa Nostra mafia boss has sparked outrage in the town of Corleone, Sicily, as it was seen as undermining the community’s efforts to rid itself of the stigma associated with its dark past in organized crime.

Gangster “Boss of bosses” Toto Riina, who has died at the age of 87 according to Italian media reports, was one of the most violent and feared Godfathers in the history of the Sicilian Mafia.
