Italian mafia boss who killed famous prosecutor and dissolved boy's body in acid is released from prison

Italians reacted with dismay Tuesday at the release from prison of an infamous mafia boss who assassinated Italy's most famous prosecutor and dissolved a boy's body in acid, among other crimes. Giovanni Brusca, 64, was released Monday from Rome's Rebibbia prison after serving a 25-year sentence, during which he became a state's witness.

He will now serve four years of probation. "Brusca freed — the cruelest boss," wrote La Repubblica daily.
