Naples, 12 August (AKI) – Italian police overnight arrested a fugitive Naples mafia boss, Alfredo Vigilia. Police managed to capture Vigilia, 43, in the southern town of Cetraro, after a dramatic car chase along the Calabrian coast and through the surrounding countryside.

He also faces charges of illegal possession of firearms.
Vigilia is one of the alleged heads the Naples mafia or Camorra’s Grimaldi clan. He went on the run on 19 May together with his father-in-law, 67-year-old Giovanni Grimaldi, and a third Camorra suspect, Francesco Vigilia.
Grimaldi and Vigilia were both arrested in July.
