The Italian Polizia di Stato, with the support of Europol, located and arrested in the Sicilian countryside close to Vita (Italy) a suspect known as V.M., one of the most high-profile fugitives in Italy.

This dangerous fugitive, son of a prominent member of the Italian crime syndicate COSA NOSTRA, was wanted by the Italian authorities since 2016 for his involvement in a violent triple murder case committed in 2006 in northern Italy. Europol was quickly involved in this case, since the individual had international links to other EU and third party countries.
