The news first became a topic in the international media and Italian politicians enthusiastically greeted his arrest.
“The war against the mafia will continue unabated. It is a great victory for the Italian state, which proves that it does not give up and effectively fights the mafia,” said Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

The Italian media emphasize that this is the last “powerful godfather” of Cosa Nostra. For his arrest, especially in the last ten years, large sums were spent and thousands of police and carabinieri were mobilized. It became possible to track down and arrest him exactly thirty years after the arrest of the historic archmafioso Toto Riina.
