  • Sicilian Mafia Boss Arrested In London After 19 Years On The Run

    According to Italian police, Mafia boss Domenico Rancadore has been arrested in London. Rancadore has reportedly been running from the police for 19 years. The Sicilian Mafia boss was once a prominent member of Italy’s most wanted list.

    The former crime family head was sentenced to seven years in jail for “Mafia association”, but because the crime is not recognized by authorities in Britain, detectives were unable to arrest him despite being aware of his location.

    However, proof of a variety of other criminal activities executed by Rancadore was passed on to police in London by Italian detectives, which gave their colleagues at Scotland Yard a mandate to execute an arrest.

    Rancadore was arrested by UK police at his luxury home upon his return from work. He attempted to escape arrest, but was successfully aprehended.

    Rancadore reportedly had a travel agency in London which he ran with his wife, Anna Maria. The family was “living a golden life”. He used the alias ‘Marco Skinner’.

    A police source said:

    Rancadore is a senior Mafia figure and his arrest is highly significant. Obviously we would like to pass on our thanks to colleagues in London who carried out the arrest.

    We had information that he was in London and we shared this with the police there and it led to his arrest.

    I understand that he did put up resistance initially and tried to escape but he was quickly overpowered and arrested.

    We had tried once before to have him arrested but we faced a problem in that the crime he was convicted of – Mafia association is not recognised by authorities in Britain.

    He was held thanks to good police work in Italy, with the information being passed to London. He will appear in court and hopefully be extradited as quickly as possible.
