Matteo Messina Denaro

Italian Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, who was convicted of multiple murders and was arrested in January after spending 30 years on the run, has died of cancer, officials said on Monday.

Denaro died at the San Salvatore hospital in LAquila, central Italy, where he had been treated for colon cancer.

Italian police on Tuesday searched the Sicilian apartment where fugitive Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro lived before his arrest ended 30 years on the run, finding Prada shoes, condoms and Viagra -- but no weapons, media reports said.

The 60-year-old mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro was caught just outside a private clinic in Sicily's capital, Palermo, where he was receiving treatment for cancer.

Failing health, more than anything else, is what brought to an end 30 years of life as a fugitive for Matteo Messina Denaro, Italy's most wanted man until his arrest on Monday.
