Police arrest fugitive Camorra mafia boss near Naples

(ANSA) - Naples, November 15 - Police on Thursday arrested Rosario Guarino, the presumed leader of the Girati Camorra mafia clan based in the northern Neapolitan neighbourhood of Scampia. The 29-year-old otherwise known as 'Joe Banana' had been on the run since March 2011 and was found in a secret hideout in Arzano just north of the southern coastal metropolis. He was one of five fugitives whose names and photographs were released in October in an invitation to the local population for information about their whereabouts.
Interior Minister Annamaria Cancellieri congratulated the national police chief Antonio Manganelli on the arrest. "Once again my appreciation goes to the precious activity of the police and judiciary who work daily to fight organised crime and who today again carried out a brilliant operation," she said.
