A Melbourne teenager who went missing for three days is related to some of Australia’s most powerful gangsters – three of whom have been shot dead.
Fears were growing for the welfare of Sienna Barbaro, 15, after she went missing on Friday – coinciding with a trial set to start into the alleged murder of her brother Pasquale Barbaro.
Barbaro was shot in southwest Sydney in November 2016 and four men have been charged with his murder.

Sienna, who has been reunited with her family since going missing in the west Melbourne suburb of Caroline Springs on Friday, is also the granddaughter Pasquale ‘Peter’ Barbaro – who was stabbed and shot in Brisbane in 1990.

Another relative, also called Pasquale Barbaro, is serving a life sentence for the importation of 15 million ecstasy tablets from Italy estimated to be worth $122 million.
He had shipped the drugs in tomato tins, and was sentenced alongside his cousin – who was given a 26-year prison term.
Sienna’s father Guiseppe ‘Joe’ Barbaro had kept his criminal past under wraps until 2005 when he too was sentenced – to six years in prison for supplying the drug speed as part of a ring operating out of Sydney and Melbourne.
Sienna’s disappearance over the weekend also came 14 years after her sister Montana was snatched from a Melbourne shopping centre when she was three weeks old.

Montana was reunited with her parents two days after she was abducted by a couple desperate to conceive and left in a derelict building.
The trials of Abuzar Sultani, Joshua Baines, Siar Munshizada and Mirwais Danishyar, who have been charged over Pasquale Barbaro’s death, is due to start later this year.
She has brown eyes, long brown hair and is 175m tall.
