In Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, there a question that arises with Michael Coreone's return from Sicily happening so seamlessly – Wasn’t he still a wanted man for the killing of McClusky and Virgil Sollozzo?

Wouldn’t the cops arrest him as soon as he arrived back into the country? It’s not as if he lived in hiding, and the law weren’t aware of his return in fact in the second film he’s a wellknown businessman, with the murder of Sollozzo and McClusky bought up in the hearings that Michael is subjected to, where he denies committing the murders. In a scene in the first film, Tom Hagen even refuses to take a letter from Kay addressed for Michael, as it could be then proved in a court of law that he knows where Michael is. This suggests the cops were actively looking for him. Let's take a look at something in the book which the movie never mentions.
