A suspected migrant trafficking boss was arrested in Ethiopia after two years on the run and has been extradited to face justice in Italy, Italian justice ministry sources said on Tuesday.
Temesghen Ghebru Ghebremedhin, 35, is "considered a key member of a vast transnational organisation dedicated to smuggling migrants from North Africa to Europe", one of the sources told Reuters.
The Eritrean suspect, who is charged with international organised crime membership and abetting illegal migration, was apprehended at Addis Ababa airport.
