Riina's son-in-law arrested on Malta - General News. Antonio Ciavarello was taken into custody by Maltese police at dawn after weeks of investigations.

He appeared in court later Thursday and agreed to be returned to Italy, local media reported. Riina died in 2017 aged 87 after his arrest of him in January 1993 following a bloody bombing campaign that claimed the lives of anti-mafia magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino the previous year.
