Fugitive mafia boss wanted for murder arrested at luxury villa
Roberto Mazzarella, head of the Mazzarella clan of the Camorra, the Naples-based organized crime group, was one of Italy's most dangerous fugitives, authorities said.
An Italian mafia boss accused of a murder a quarter century ago has been arrested at a luxury villa on the Amalfi Coast, Italian police said this weekend.
Mazzarella "did not resist arrest" during a raid in the town of Vietri sul Mare, police said in a statement. He was with his wife and two children at the time.
Video released by police of the raid showed heavily armed officers in the seaside villa. A patrol boat was deployed during the operation.
The 48-year-old had been on the run since Jan. 28, 2025, when he was due to have been arrested on murder charges, the statement said.
Mazzarella is wanted in connection with a 2000 fatal shooting at a delicatessen in central Naples.
