Does anyone know what "capo leito" means?

I found the phrase on an Argentine site I can't make sense of it from the context.

    I did a search for this having had my curiosity aroused and found this http://www.judoinfo.com/discuss/lofiversion/index....

    One of the participants in the discussion is named Leito and he refers to capo not in the usual sense of chief, but as something associated with judo.

    I could not find it anywhere- are you sure you are spelling this correctly?

    There are no dictionary entries for capo leito, but capo is spelled correctly.

    In Argentina 'capo' refers to the #1 person in a group. It's something like the 'boss'.

    Capo di tutti capi or capo dei capi is Italian for "boss of all bosses" or "boss of bosses".

    My guess about leito, it could be a nickname.

    Maybe it's a slang word in Spanish or in Argentina...
