Read from TimeExtension:

Infamous Sicilian Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro was arrested this week in Palermo, ending his 30-year reign of terror in Italy.

During the course of the effort to track down the infamous crime boss – who was cut off even from his own family, such was his effort to remain undetected – investigators pieced together countless letters and notes, some of which were related to his love of video games.

In a letter sent by his lover Maria Mesi, Messina Denaro's love of gaming becomes apparent:
I love you and will love you for life. From the bottom of my heart I love you, I send you many kisses. Yours forever. I really want to give you a gift. You know, I've read that the Donkey Kong 3 tape is out and I can't wait for it to be on the market to buy it for you. The Secret of Mana 2 one hasn't arrived yet…

(Note that Google offers the translation 'tape' here, but one can safely assume Messina Denaro means 'cartridge'.)

Messina Denaro developed an "intense passion for video games", and they became part of his daily routine while he was hiding from the authorities.
