One of Italy’s most dangerous fugitives, and one of the country’s most wanted mafia figures were arrested in a raid, over the weekend.

The arrests of 62-year-old Pasquale Russo and his 47-year-old brother, Carmine happened just hours after Italian police detained 51-year-old Salvatore Russo.

Salvatore Russo is believed to be the head of a Camorra clan. He’s reported to have been on the run since 1995, after being convicted of murder and linked to organized crime, before being sentenced to life in prison.

According to Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, the reported mafia leader’s arrest is “a heavy blow for the Camorra.”
Pasquale Russo is considered to be one of Italy’s most dangerous criminals. He’s accused of murder, and the disposal of dead bodies. Pasquale’s brother, Carmine, is said to have been in hiding since 2007.

The bust went down at a chicken farm in Sperone, about 20-miles east of the city of Naples. “We are closing the net on the super-fugitives,” said Maroni.

Italian officials report the Camorra clan to be based out of the Naples area, adding that they believe the group to have about 5,000 members.
