LONDON: An Italian mafia boss who had been on the run since 1994 was arrested by the Scotland Yard in London on Wednesday.
Domenico Rancadore (64) was arrested from a residence in Uxbridge by officers from the extradition squad under a European arrest warrant issued in January 2012. He is in police custody and is due to appear at Westminster magistrates court.
An Italian interior ministry statement said Rancadore is wanted in Italy for his involvement in Sicily's Cosa Nostra, a criminal mafia syndicate. It is a loose association of criminal groups that share a common organisational structure. Rancadore, nicknamed "u profissuri" (the teacher), had been on the run after being jailed by a court in Palermo, Sicily, where he controlled and ran the Caccamo and Trabia areas.
