Italian police on Monday
arrested a fugitive boss in the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta mafia
who was set to be listed among Italy's 30 most-wanted men.
Rocco Barbaro, 52, was captured in the home of one of his
daughters in Calabria.
He went on the lam in 2015, fleeing an arrest warrant issued
in Milan for mafia conspiracy and fraudulently claiming assets.
The Barbaro clan is said to dominate the cocaine trade in
Lombardy and Calabria.
Interior Minister Marco Minniti congratulated Carabinieri
Commander-in-Chief Tullio Del Sette for Barbaro's arrest, which
he said was the result of "intense" investigative work.
'Ndrangheta, Italy's richest and most powerful mafia,
controls the European cocaine trade.
