24 nabbed in Palermo clan bust 'Money-laundering king' Corona caught
Italian police on Monday arrested 24 people in a major operation against Cosa Nostra clans in Palermo. Four of them were placed under house arrest, including a well-known Palermo criminal lawyer, Nico Riccobene. The probe uncovered the leading role of a boss who has come to the fore since the death of boss of bosses Totò Riina last November, Giuseppe Corona. Nicknamed the "money-laundering king", Corona was able to launder "rivers of money", police said.
