Messina Denaro was Italy's number one fugitive, and he was arrested after 30 years on the run.
The head of the Carabinieri police force's special operations squad said Messina Denaro was captured yesterday at the clinic where he was receiving treatment for an undisclosed condition.
Messina Denaro was considered Sicily's top Cosa Nostra boss even while he was a fugitive.
The 60-year-old was taken to a secret location by police, Italian state television reported.
Messina Denaro was the last of three top-level Mafia bosses who had eluded capture for decades.
He was tried in absentia and convicted of dozens of murders, and faces multiple life sentences.
