The escape of Roberto Mazzarella, head of the eponymous clan that controls Naples, ended in a luxury resort in Vietri sul Mare, in the Salerno area. Carabinieri on Friday night arrested the boss, who had been wanted since 28 January 2025, after having escaped a European arrest warrant for murder aggravated by mafia-related offences issued by the Court of Naples.
Mazzarella, 48, was fourth on the Ministry of the Interior's list of the most dangerous fugitives (source in Italian). With this capture, the list of Italy's so-called superlatitantes is reduced to three names: Attilio Cubeddu, Giovanni Motisi and Renato Cinquegranella.
