This week I watched an
interesting BBC documentary on Netflix about Bernardo Provenzano, the then-73-year-old
boss of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra who was finally arrested in April 2006 after
43 years as a fugitive. The hunt for Provenzano was one of the world's longest
manhunts.
As the BBC noted, Provenzano was
a teenage assassin for Cosa Nostra in the 1950s and rose swiftly through the
ranks. His reputation for violence was so prolific that he became known as
"The Tractor" because, as an informant put it, "he mowed people
down."
You can read about Provenzano’s life and death in a piece in the British newspaper the
Guardian via the below link:
