SICILY, ITALY–Real life and fiction play out with flawless symmetry for Michele Catalano. Italian police arrested the suspected Mafia boss in Sicily as he watched a television show about the arrest of a Mafia boss, according to investigators.
At the time, Catalano watched the TV mini-series “The Boss of Bosses,” telling of the real-life arrest of Cosa Nostra leader Salvatore “Toto” Riina in 1993.
Catalano, 48, is suspected of being a senior commander serving under Salvatore Lo Piccolo who was arrested last month after eluding police for nearly 25 years. Catalano faces charges of drug trafficking and extortion.
