Giovanni Motisi is the last great Cosa Nostra fugitive involved in the early 1990s bombing campaign that claimed the lives of prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. He is also wanted in connection with the assassinations of politicians, police, and prosecutors across Sicily earlier.
The new identikit has been created using Age Progression on photos dating back to the 1980s and 1990s and found in Motisi'sPalermo home. It is the same technique used for the last fugitive superboss Matteo Messina Denaro aka Diabolik, caught after 30 years on the run in January 2023 and who died of cancer in a prison hospital last November at the age of 61. He is wanted for the August 6 1985 murder of deputy police chief Ninni Cassarà, head of the Palermoflying squad's investigative division and one of the investigators most highly rated by Falcone. He was also part of the murder cupola led by the late Salvatore 'The Beast' Riina, before being demoted for lax management of clan funds.
