More jail time for mafia boss

ISTANBUL: Turkey’s most notorious mafia leader was sentenced on Friday to more than 14 years in jail for a gang-related attack on a cafe but told his relatives “it is not important, do not be sad”, the Anatolia news agency said.
Alaattin Cakici was convicted of ordering an armed attack in 2000 that injured 15 people at a cafe frequented by a rival gang, and sentenced to 14 years, nine months and 20 days.
It was the second time the mafia boss had been tried over the attack.
He had already spent three years in jail, but the appeals court overturned part of the ruling and asked that his sentence be increased. – AFP
