Matteo Messina Denaro
FOLKLORE: This boss from the western city of Trapani, who may take over the mantle from the just captured Lo Piccolo, is considered something of a "playboy don," with a weakness for sports cars and designer watches and sunglasses.
UGLY TRUTH: Despite his fancy tastes, the 45-year-old boss understands the old rules of the mob. He allegedly took part in the Falcone killings in 1992, and Italian police believe that he will do whatever he feels is necessary in the future to increase his own power — and the very real power of the Mafia.
