Spanish police have arrested
Fausto Pellegrinetti, a fugitive boss of the 'new Magliana gang'
Rome crime outfit, after 15 years on the run, sources said on
Monday.
The 76-year-old, who went by a number of aliases, has been
handed a definitive 13-year jail term for criminal association
for drugs dealing and money laundering.
He was arrested on Sunday in a luxury apartment in the
coastal city of Alicante, the sources said.
The new Magliana gang was a later incarnation of an infamous
and extremely violent Rome group of the 1970s that was the
subject of Michele Placido's 2005 movie Romanzo Criminale and a
spin-off TV series of the same name.
