Another arrest in Almería
For his part, the fugitive located in Roquetas de Mar, in Almería, from where he apparently continued to direct the criminal organization, was considered a high-value target for being one of the leaders of a well-known criminal group from the Neapolitan Camorra
The Police report that the investigation began at the end of October after receiving a request for collaboration through the National Police's information exchange agreements with Italy and the Sirene Office.
Italy issued a European Arrest Warrant for a man for the crimes of blackmail, extortion, kidnapping, illegal detention, and hostage-taking, for which he could face up to 30 years in prison.
