Today, the world mourns the death of Salvatore Riina, also known as "The Beast" and the "Crazy Horse of Corleone." He was 87 years old. Riina was an Italian mobster and the boss of the Sicilian Mafia during the late 20th century. He rose to notoriety in the 70's with an unprecedented level of viciousness and cruelty. Riina led a reign of terror that included dozens of murders and political assassinations as well as a long-running turf war with the government. Riina was eventually arrested in 1993 after more than two decades as a fugitive, and he was sentenced to life in prison in 1995. He spent the remainder of his life behind bars, and died in a hospital in Rome on November 17, 2017. His death marks the end of an era in Italian mobster history, and his legacy will be remembered for generations to come.
