PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - Italian police burst into the room of a suspected Mafia mobster in Sicily and arrested him as he watched a television show about the arrest of a Mafia boss, investigators said Friday.

Police said Michele Catalano was watching the concluding chapter late Thursday of the TV mini-series "The Boss of Bosses," recounting the arrest in 1993 of real-life Cosa Nostra leader Salvatore "Toto" Riina, when he was detained.

They Catalano, 48, was suspected of being a senior commander serving under the latest "boss of bosses" Salvatore Lo Piccolo, who was arrested this month after nearly 25 years on the run.

Catalano faces charges of drug trafficking and extortion.

Lo Piccolo had taken over the reins of the Sicilian crime syndicate from Riina's successor Bernardo Provenzano, who was arrested last year after 40 years on the run. The arrests have seriously weakened the Mafia, police say.

Politicians and cultural figures criticized Channel 5's mini-series for portraying Riina as a hero and lobbied its owner Mediaset, belonging to former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, to take the final episode off the air. Mediaset declined.

Nicknamed "the Beast" for his brutality, Riina has been convicted on more than 100 counts of murder.

Karma - The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.



I'd say that's a perfect example!

Exactly!

Yep I totally agree on ones actions is mirrored directly. It was actually a big secret that people tried to keep quiet about years ago, but now its being pulled back into existance. I still beleive in this so greatly that if your shitty with people your only going to get shit thrown back with full wind capacity!

Even if someone pulled the lid from the condement for someone to spill on their food without them knowing, well your only gonna get a "not so very nice taste in ones mouth"  but somehow never reaching it only to discover the true essence of flavour and disease later on ;-)

I only get diseases but I dont catch them well,

Example ones own actions i.e:

"so going into mud tainted rivers will only get us into Double Trouble"!
