Mafia 'super fugitive' arrested while eating pasta with his wife and two cats after 14 years on the run

A MAFIA "super fugitive" known as Italy's second most dangerous man has been arrested after 14 years on the run.

Marco Di Lauro was eating pasta while relaxing with his wife and two cats when cops stormed his apartment in Naples on Saturday.


The 38-year-old – one of Europe's most wanted men and fourth son of ex-Camorra boss Paolo Di Lauro- was lifted following an operation involving around 150 officers, Agence France-Presse reported.

He was wanted over offences including murder, drug trafficking, arson, armed robbery, racketeering and extortion, according to Europol.

SUPER FUGITIVE

The crime-fighting agency told Sky News that Di Lauro had joined a criminal organisation that clashed with other mafia groups in 2000, starting the reported “Secondigliano feud,” which resulted in several killings.

Naples police chief Antonio De Lesu told reporters at a press conference that “unusual activity” had led police to the fugitive.

Di Lauro was considered the second most dangerous man in Italy, after Sicilian Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, according to Italian media.

Another blow to organised crime

He had been on the run since 2004 and was one of Italy's four most wanted criminals, according to the country’s interior ministry website.

Writing on Twitter, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte thanked police "for the capture of the super fugitive" which he said was "another blow to organised crime".
