PALERMO, Italy, May 21 (UPI) -- Italian police seized millions of counterfeit dollars and an arsenal of weapons from a top Cosa Nostra family in Palermo Thursday.
Investigators say the clan was believed to be gearing up for a war for control of organized crime in the Sicilian capital, ANSA reported.
Two sawed-off shotguns, a pump-action shotgun, a .357 magnum revolver and thousands of rounds of ammunition were found stashed inside walls in two Palermo homes.
The fake dollar bills are believed to have been stockpiled by late boss Gaetano Lo Presti to fund a looming war, police said.
