Bernardo Provenzano, believed to be capo di tutti capi of the Sicilian Mafia, was arrested today in Sicily.
Provenzano had not been seen in public since the early 1960s, and was widely believed to be dead after 1992, when his wife and two adult sons emerged from hiding.
He will face multiple charges of murder and armed robbery.
Reports indicate that Provenzano was picked up outside Corleone, where he was born in 1933.
