Marco Raduano, a boss from one of most Italy’s most violent mafias, who escaped from a maximum-security prison last year, has been captured in France, authorities in both countries have said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raduano, described as “dangerous” on Europol’s list of Europe’s most wanted criminals, was detained in Bastia on the French island of Corsica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had been serving a 24-year prison sentence for membership of a criminal organization, drug trafficking, holding illegal weapons, and other crimes, according to Europol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His escape was hugely embarrassing for Italian authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
