Facebook has apologized to the family of the Italian Mafia's 'boss of bosses' for removing messages of condolences that flowed in after his death last week. Salvatore 'Toto' Riina, one of the most feared godfathers in the history of the Sicilian Mafia, was buried Wednesday in his hometown of Corleone. Additionally, Riina's daughter, Maria Concetta Riina, posted a photo of a woman kissing her finger with the words 'shh...' written on it. Her husband Antonino Tony Ciavarello posted an article on Facebook in Italian that roughly translates as 'Facebook apologizes to the family of the boss for removing messages of condolence from social media platform.' Riina's son Giovanni, who is serving time in jail for four murders, was not given permission to attend.
