(00:50) Rough Cut

Nov 16 - Italian police arrest top Sicilian mafia boss, Domenico Raccuglia, who has been on the run for more than 15 years.

Police said he had been seized in a house near Trapani, in the western tip of Sicily. His arrest was welcomed by local people in the area.

Considered the second most prominent member of Cosa Nostra - after the most wanted fugitive, Matteo Messina Denaro - Raccuglia has already been convicted in absentia to three life sentences for murder and other Mafia crimes.

Even though his wife was kept under police surveillance, he became a father for the second time while he was on the run.
