January 7 – "Fat"
Herbie Blitzstein was shot to death inside his Las Vegas townhouse.
June 6 – Arrest of
Pietro Aglieri, boss of the Santa Maria di Gesù Mafia family in
Palermo, in a disused lemon warehouse in the dilapidated industrial area
Bagheria together with his "right hand" men,
Natale Gambino and
Giuseppe La Mattina. It took the authorities almost a year to locate him following the arrest of his right-hand man
Carlo Greco. Apparently,
Giovanni Brusca, a Riina loyalist arrested in May 1996, helped police identify Aglieri. He had been on the run since 1989.[1]
