Italian police have arrested Roberto Mazzarella, a high-profile fugitive from the Camorra, Italy’s notorious Naples-based organized crime group. The arrest took place at a luxury villa on the Amalfi Coast in Vietri sul Mare.

Mazzarella was wanted for aggravated homicide linked to “a criminal association of a mafia type,” according to his wanted poster. He had been on the run since January 28, 2025, when he was due to be arrested on murder charges.

During the raid, police found 20,000 euros ($23,000) in cash and three luxury watches. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni congratulated the police for their successful operation, stating that it sends a clear message that the state will not back down.

The Mazzarella clan is known for its involvement in counterfeiting in Naples, with recent arrests targeting the Neapolitan mafia due to cyber fraud and other criminal activities.
