Roberto Mazzarella, head of a notorious Camorra clan, had been on the run for more than a year

An Italian mafia boss, who was one of Italy’s most dangerous fugitives, has been arrested on murder charges after more than a year on the run, Italian police said on Saturday.

Roberto Mazzarella was the head of the notorious Mazzarella clan of the Camorra – the Naples-based organised crime gang.

Mazzarella was arrested on Friday night at a luxury €1,000-a-night villa on the Amalfi Coast, where he was with his wife and two children.

He “did not resist arrest” during a raid in the town of Vietri sul Mare in Salerno, police said in a statement.
