By Kathryn ArmstrongBBC News
Italian Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, who was one of the country's Most Wanted men until his capture earlier this year, has died.

L'Aquila Mayor Pierluigi Biondi confirmed Denaro's death, writing on X (formerly Twitter) that it was " the epilogue of an existence lived Without Remorse or regret, a painful chapter in recent history that we cannot erase. "

More Than 100 members of The Armed forces were involved in his arrest in January, which happened at a private clinic In Sicily 's capital, Palermo, where he was receiving chemotherapy.
