Palermo - The reputed Mafia "boss of bosses" and 14 other alleged mob leaders have been transferred from a Sicilian prison after the killing of a jail official. The 15 suspects, including the alleged Mafia kingpin Salvatore "Toto" Riina, were moved to maximum-security cells in northern Italy. Police believe the order to kill prison agent Giuseppe Montalto may have come from inside the Ucciardone prison in Palermo, where Riina and the others were held. AP
