Italian police nab top mafia fugitives
Print Edition
Italian anti-mafia police nabbed two fugitive mobster bosses yesterday, after discovering them 鈥渓iving like animals鈥 in a mountain hideout with an arsenal of weapons.
Giuseppe Ferraro, 47, and Giuseppe Crea, 37, both high-ranking members of the powerful and immensely wealthy 鈥橬drangheta organized crime group, had been on Italy鈥檚 most dangerous fugitives list, said police.
Ferraro, found guilty in absentia of a string of brutal murders and described as 鈥渆xtremely dangerous鈥 by the police, had been on the run for 18 years. Crea, wanted for mafia association and extortion, disappeared 10 years ago.
Ferraro is also believed to have been involved in the gunning down of rival boss Domenico Bonarrigo in a clan war. Bonarrigo鈥檚 men got revenge by feeding the suspected gunman, Ferraro ally Francesco Raccosta, alive to pigs in 2013.
鈥淭hey were living in a concrete bunker hidden by dense bushes and trees,鈥 said prosecutor Federico Cafiero De Raho, describing the hideout in the mountains near the town of Maropati in the Reggio Calabria region of southern Italy.
鈥淭hey were living like animals, a cold life cut off from society,鈥 but with enough contact with the underworld to rule on gang matters when necessary, Cafiero De Raho said.
Police raiding the bunker found a submachine gun as well as a collection of rifles and pistols hung on the wall.
