> Denise Cosco, who testified against her father over the murder of her mother in Italy, was found critically injured on Sunday and later died in a Rome hospital. Her mother, Lea Garofalo, was killed in 2009 after becoming a state witness against the ’Ndrangheta. Prosecutors are investigating possible incitement to suicide and have seized Cosco’s phone.
