      Yes and no, the responsible for that Cesare Mori aka the "Iron Prefect", was removed from his position when he began to hunt big fishes: church exponents, fascist members etc. He really gave to the mafia a taste of their own medicine, check for that. Sadly those results were not seen again, thanks also to the facts mentioned in this video.

    After the establishment of the republic, the rule of the mafia would continue relatively unchallenged until the magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, now martyrs of the motherland, reformed the Italian stance and tactics against the organized crime syndicates.
    The magistrates decided to fight the mafia with its own weapons, deep infiltration being the first and foremost.
    So, like the mafia would infiltrate the state, the men of the magistrates would infiltrate the mafia remaining silent and acting like loyal mafiosos for years, often decades, until the order to strike was given.
    they, as much as any man under their command, knew that this meant that sooner or later they would be killed by the mob, and It happened, but the organization created by Falcone and Borsellino was meant to be, like the mafia, resilient, capable of surviving the death of its Leaders and carry on no matter what.
    today the tactics of the two magistrates are the utilized by all anti-mafia polices.
