Cops: Mobsters Dissolved Woman's Body in Acid

Milan police arrested six mobsters late Sunday on suspicion of kidnapping and shooting a crime-boss's ex-girlfriend last November and dissolving her body in acid.

Carabinieri Col. Lorenzo Falferi says police don't know which of the suspects shot Lea Garofalo, 35. Carlo Cosco, a reputed 'ndrangheta crime boss and Garofalo's ex-boyfriend, was among those arrested.

Garofalo was last seen getting into Cosco's car in Milan. A couple of years earlier she had refused to have personal police escorts after she started collaborating with prosecutors.

Police said Monday conversations in a bugged prison cell revealed Garofalo's fate. They believe the Calabrian-based 'ndrangheta gang punished her for working with authorities.

Her body has not been found.
