PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - Italy's most-wanted mafia boss, Matteo Messina Denaro, has been sentenced in absentia to a new life term for his role in the 1992 murders of anti-mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino.

Messina Denaro, 58, considered the most powerful member of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, has been on the run since 1993 and already faced a life sentence for his role in bomb attacks that year in Florence, Rome and Milan which killed 10 people.
