The 89-year-old boss Giuseppe Mazzagatti died tonight of natural causes . The leader of Oppido Mamertina was seriously ill and died in his home in Taurianova. Mazzagatti, sentenced to life imprisonment for mafia association and murder, was under house arrest in 2014 because his conditions were incompatible with the prison regime.

In that year he rose to the headlines for the famous " bow " of the Madonna delle Grazie in front of his home on the occasion of the traditional religious procession. A few months after that episode, the boss was taken back to prison. In August 2016, however, he returned to house arrest.
