A mafia boss, on the run for 30 years, has been captured in Italy. Police arrested Matteo Messina Denaro, 60, at a hospital where he was reportedly being treated for colon cancer under a false name. He was convicted in absentia for the murders of Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. Both were judges and prosecuting magistrates killed by car bombs in 1992 in Sicily. The two men are seen as symbols of the war against organized crime. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
