 Mafia Boss Salvatore Riina Apprehended after 23 Years in Hiding (1993)Riina started out as a mafia hit man and ascended the ranks, becoming a feared leader of the Sicilian Mafia.

However, in November 2009, Massimo Ciancimino – the son of Vito Ciancimino – said that Provenzano betrayed the whereabouts of Riina. Police sent Vito Ciancimino maps of Palermo. One of the maps was delivered to Provenzano, then a mafia fugitive. Ciancimino said the map was returned by Provenzano who indicated the precise location of Riina's hiding place.
